from Auckland, NZ Date Reviewed: March 26, 2008 Strengths: This is a review for the Velo Plush 'comp 1000' saddle - its leather with holes in it and a red 'D2' on the rear on either side. It is not for the plain black plush saddle which most rveiews on here seem to be about. This is the most comfy saddle myself, or my gf, have ever used. We now have them on all our bikes. They are hard wearing, super comfortable. I have used hard 'race' style seats before and these are so much nicer. I dont know what makes a saddle work but for some reason this is a great saddle. I used to get a lot of lower back and groin pain, swapping to this saddle has fixed that. No tears in all its use, and they are both pretty well used now! Much longer lifespan than the WTB stock saddle my bike came with. We ride mainly xc/enduro and at a recent 12hr my girl noted that she felt great after 12hrs on the saddle - much better than a lot of other saddles she had used, especially the stock lightweight giant race (womens specific) one that came as stock. Weaknesses: I guess you could say weight, but we are not weight weenies and dont find it a problem. We both race XC and arent that concerned about a few extra grams. Take a dump before the race if you are that worried! Maybe a bit ugly? Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Cookie Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $50.00 Purchased At: Bike Barn New Lynn Similar Products Used: WTB, Giant stock, etc etc Bike Setup: Giant XTC1, Giant anthem 1

from Toronto, ON Date Reviewed: April 15, 2007 Strengths: Free, came on bike. Better than a seatpost. Weaknesses: Plush, awful feel after the first couple km as the padding compresses and leaves you riding on the poorly formed substrate, really hard on the rear for anything longer than a short ride around the neighbourhood. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Anything smooth Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Purchased At: Came stock on Steelwool Sweet City SS, from Dukes in Toronto Similar Products Used: Titec Beserkr, Selle Italia NT1 Bike Setup: Steelwool Sweet City SS, touring singlespeed running stock.
