from Houghton, MI Date Reviewed: October 25, 2007 Strengths: Looks cool. Light. I love the seat. It's very comfortable, but bear in mind that I rarely sit while riding my dirt jump bike. Weaknesses: Very narrow. Make sure you really want narrow. Very expensive. I got a deal because I got mine on clearance. $120 or whatever they are full price is way too steep! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $44.00 Purchased At: Specialized.com Similar Products Used: Bontrager (crap) I went into the bike shop and said I needed a new seat for my Specialized dirt jump bike. They put that on there. It was probably about a 150mm seat. I didn't like it. I hated it. But it helped me decide what I really wanted. Bike Setup: 05 Specialized P.2 SS

from Columbia, MO USA Date Reviewed: October 10, 2007 Strengths: I rode this saddle for a little over two years. It was reasonably light (263g) and stayed looking great even though most of my riding is off-road. Weaknesses: The most painful saddle I've ever ridden. It feels great for about 20 miles, then turns into the most terrible thing this side of a nail to sit on. Even the paper-thin Aspide it replaced was more confortable. Painful, painful, painful. Too costly (but all Specialized stuff is). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $100.00 Purchased At: Local shop Similar Products Used: Selle Italia Flite Gel, Selle San Marco Aspide, SDG Bel-Air SL, various others Bike Setup: Fisher SuperCaliber

from Newark Date Reviewed: July 11, 2007 Strengths: pretty light. Very narrow and low profile, good for mountain biking styles/conditions under which you want to drop behind the seat frequently. Because its narrow and low profile, you can slight behind it and back pretty easy and without catching your pants Weaknesses: Very painful, and unnessicarily so. I am used to a very stiff saddle but this is just too hard. Ti rails and carbon support is great, but you need at least a little padding. Poorly built. Rails are not held securely to the saddle, they are held loosely in holes that cannot be tightened up without squirting glue into them to fill in the gap. Makes the saddle shift slightly, but more significantly it makes the saddle squeek and crunk as you ride, really thats just an annoyance though, doesn't hurt performance. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $65.00 Purchased At: specialized.com Similar Products Used: Bontrager racelite X road saddle, some of the other bontrager seats Bike Setup: Trek SLR frame, Fox F-80 rlc, Avid bb7, Bontrager crank, XTR shifters, XT filling out the rest
