Strengths:
Du Pont Kevlar, Leather-X non-skid covering, Cro/mo railings, water proof membrane, lightweight
Weaknesses:
less foamy than my previous stock saddle but its still comfortably fine with me, wish it could have a little trench at the middle for cooling but its says that this saddle is for the xtreme type of riding, so thats justify the design but it weigh like an XC saddle for me but a tough one.
Bottom Line:
Looking for a tough saddle that fits the budget, the X-lite PSS2 saddle answer this question.

Bike Setup:
Homegrown Pro Frame, bike built from ground up w/XT and LX mix. SX-R fork, X-317 disc specific Mavic w/ Avid mechanicals, Specialized Stout hubs...
Bottom Line:
At 277g, this could be used for cross country, but it is probably ideally suited to freeride or DH use as it is very solidly built and has Cro/Mo rails. The "Leather-X" cover is very tough and skid proof and the kevlar corners are generously big. It has a depressed area in the shell under the nose that puts less pressure up front. The price ($55) included shipping from England.
