Strengths: -Comfort
-Weight
-Gel nose for climbing
-ComfortWeaknesses: -None yet, but just purchased recently
Bottom Line: I have only used this saddle a few times; however, it it the most comfortable I have ridden, period. The stock seat on the Stumpy could bruise your tail bone.
I blindly bought the second saddle from Performance last year and it was o.k. aesthetically, but the comfort still wasn't there.
After 12 miles yesterday, I didn't want to go home. The saddle works flawlessly and the gel nose is amazing for steeper saddle climbing.
I would definitely recommend getting "fit" for the saddle. This is the first time I have tried this and I am pleased I did. You simply sit down on a gel pad thing and it marks where your tail bone is. Then the dude measured the width and calculates for your average riding position.
This saddle may or may not be one of the better on the market, but I offered 5 Chilis b/c it's the most comfortable and best that I have ridden. I would definitely recommend it!

Strengths: Very comfy, reasonably light. You can actually sit on the gel nose during steep, long climbs.Weaknesses: Shorts, both lycra and baggies, keep getting stuck in the square edges.Bottom Line: Very comfortable saddle even with the light padding thanks to the BG shape and the flexy frame. The square edges become a major annoyance because they catch pants\baggies.
Favorite Trail: Anything unpaved

Strengths: Well made, technology filled, thought out design, 2 sizes availableWeaknesses: Hard and too square (for me)Bottom Line: This is a well made saddle, The gel nose is fantastic and was for climbing very technical steep sections. For me the saddle didn't not fit me very well. I had the 143mm and I need a bit wider. I would recommend giving this saddle a try but it didn't work for me. It's more of a racer setup.

Strengths: Great for seated riding and climbing in the saddle. Wide front-end is great for steep climbs. Seat softens-up after a few rides. Go with the Cro/Mo rails (tougher with hardly any weight penalty) as compared to the Ti.Weaknesses: None so far.Bottom Line: Great seat with the versatility for climbing, cruising the flats, or technical riding.
