Strengths: confortable at first. price is reasonable.Weaknesses: pounds out very shortly after purchasing. Sides of saddle folded over. Poor craftsmanship.Bottom Line: WTB is the best saddle out there but they are missing the mark with the woman specific saddle out there.

Strengths: It's a saddle.Weaknesses: So painful after 2 miles I had to ride back by road as I could not face bumping down the farm track.Bottom Line: I just picked up my first mountain bike which was fitted with this saddle. Fine to start off with, but like the other reviewer, after 20 minutes I was desperate to get off. It really hurt the bones towards the back (don't know what they are called). I will be getting a new saddle or swapping it with the one from my road bike before I go out again.

Strengths: It came with the bike for free.Weaknesses: Not very comfortableBottom Line: It is great some companies like WTB are trying to offer better seats for women. However, the seat falls short of the target. It only good for about about 20 minutes and I'm very sore and uncomforable. Don't buy unless it comes with your bike. If your buying a new bike, ask about upgrading it to a better version. If it came w/ your bike and it works, great. If not, purchase a better saddle for it is healtier to get out and use yuor bike than let it sit. It seems like firm = better. Look for a gel or similar fill material.

Bike Setup: This was the stock seat that came with my new Jamis Dakota Comp Women's Edition. The bike was a $1,300 bike. Alone, it looks like this seat sells for $30. Jamis would be better off equiping the bike with a better seat. I installed the Serfa's Rx from my old bike. It uses gel instead of foam and is a very comfortable saddle. Although, the Serfa's did cost $50 new so you do get what you pay for. I haven't tried a higher end WTB Women's saddle.

Strengths: -looks cool
-cheap
-if your goal is to punish your privates, then this is the seat for youWeaknesses: -WAY TOO SQUISHYBottom Line: This saddle blows goats. It is way too soft and my sensitive parts are paying for it! It gave me the saddle sores from hell. 2 flamin' poos because it was cheap, 1 flamin' poo because I will never walk the same again.

Strengths: Feels nice and cushiony while off the bike.Weaknesses: Hurts my ass and privite area every time I ride whether it be 1 mile or 25 miles. And my ass hurts for a couple days after I use it as well. I am very disappointed.Bottom Line: I'm not sure if the seat would work for chicks under 150 pounds but over that, hell no! If I can't even ride to my Post Office without my ass hurting (about 1/2 mile) then this seat SUCKS!

Strengths: Seems well made & looks goodWeaknesses: I have ridden dozens of saddles over dozens of years & none has rubbed me raw in under 20 miles. This includes stopping to adjust the nose way down. It is too soft to suppost your weight on your sit bones, so you sink onto the tender areas. Could ruin your night life in one ride. As fun as having sandpaper in your shorts. Never thought I would ride a saddle that made me look forward to getting on the Flight.Bottom Line: This saddle will be returned to REI this week for refund.

Strengths: This saddle works for me. It didn't take any "break in" period. The saddle has enough cushion to be comfortable for me but not too much to sink into.Weaknesses: I'm not sure how long the synthetic leather will go without cracking.Bottom Line: I have been on cross country rides as well as mountain bike trails with this saddle and have been quite comfortable. I've also had some hard landings on it and haven't had any problems. It works well for me.

Strengths: PriceWeaknesses: ComfortBottom Line: I purchased this seat for my wife based on my experience with WTB's Speed V. The Speed V is the most comfortable seat I have ever imagined! My wife tried it and thought the same. We figured the Speed She would offer at least the same level of comfort and performance. We were WRONG! This Speed She caused her extreme discomfort and pain for several days after going for a 15 mile ride. It is very hard and of poor ergonomic design, opposite of the features of a Speed V.
I'm buying her a Speed V or Laser V TODAY! They may be male specific, but they shure work great for her. I have to give this product 1 cold Chili because it is not useable.
