Strengths:    Fairly lightweight and inoffensive to look at.

Weaknesses:    Lack of comfort. Even after a short amount of time on the saddle I was left feeling sore.

Bottom Line:   
Came as the first fit saddle on my Epiphany. I used a fw times but just found it too uncomfortable to ride upon, even with padded shorts. Now changed it for a Henge SL143 - hopefully that might be better, it certainly felt more comfy in the shop.

Strengths:    Lightweight and easy to slide off the rear during technical or steep descents.

Weaknesses:    Not comfortable after 1.5 - 2 hours of riding. Relatively small seating area.

Bottom Line:   
This was the stock saddle on my 2009 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Pro. I used it for a year but replaced it recently. The saddle is fine for up to 2 hours of riding, but after that it was too uncomfortable for me. It is lightweight and has titanium rails. But I wouldn't pay the MSRP on this. For $105 you can get much better saddles from WTB or Fizik.
