from Zaragoza, SPAIN Date Reviewed: July 22, 2006 Strengths: You know, titanium rails to make it lighter, love channel to aboid pressure over the most amazing parts, and a very important point, leather covering the saddle, than allows transpiration and gives adherency to the bike. A wonderfull high finish. Weaknesses: I miss something to protect the sides of the saddle which are finished in leather too. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $70.00 Purchased At: ebay Similar Products Used: For five or six years, a single San Marco Aero, with the hole in the middle. I tried a month a San Marco Aero Gelaround but was a fake and had to sell it to a friend who still find it confortable. I tried an San Marco Arami Gelaround two weeks but couldn´t be on my bike more than one hour. Bike Setup: A Trek 8000, year 2000. A wonderfull bicycle.

from Dearborn, MI, USA Date Reviewed: July 16, 2006 Strengths: Strong material, super comfortable with the "love channel," Titanium rails, reasonably light at 235 grams. Weaknesses: The only problem that I have with this saddle is that the decals on the sides of it ware off very quickly. This is a very minor problem seeing that the word "LASER" is embroidered onto the nose of the saddle, and WTB is silk-screened onto the back. Not a big deal at all... have you ever been accused of riding a knock-off saddle? I didn't think so. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $70.00 Purchased At: eBay Similar Products Used: Selle Italia Genuine Gel Flite Saddle with Titanium Rails; the black and blue WTB saddle that came on my old Gary Fisher. Bike Setup: Jamis Dakar XC Frame, Manitou Elite Black Forks, Fox Float R Rear Shock, Mavic XC 717 Rims, Shimano XT Disk Hubs (front & rear), Old School Shimano XT Crank, Shimano XT ES71 Splined Bottom Bracket, Speedplay Frog Pedals, Shimano XT Front Dérailleur, Shimano XT Rear Dérailleur, Shimano XT 9 Speed Shifters (front & rear), Shimano XT 9 Speed Cassette, Shimano XTR/Dura-Ace 9 Speed Chain, Avid BB5 Disk Brakes (front & rear), Old School Avid 1.0 Brake Levers, Cane Creek Headset, WTB Laser V Saddle, Avid Flack Jacket Housing/Cable (shift & brake)
