Strengths: Comfortable, light, land ooks to be very good quality.Weaknesses: None so farBottom Line: Great saddle. Comfortable (I usually do 15 and 30 mile rides, seldom over that). After the first few miles, I don't even think about it. No numbness at all! Seems lighter than the specs from Specialized (187 grams?), and looks great on the bike.

Looks niceWeaknesses: NONEBottom Line: I don't normally do reviews unless I feel very strongly about something and this time is no exception. So, I bought a Specialized Tarmac Elite last year and rode it quite frequently. One of the best attributes of the bike immediately became apparent..the Toupe Saddle. Wow...it looks paper thin and I thought I would have a hard time with it but that misconception was dispelled pretty quickly. This saddle is the most comfortable I've ever ridden. Outside of that, I'm more of a Trek guy...just a personal preference based on body fit and looks of their bikes. So I sell my Tarmac this year and buy a Trek Madone 4.5. The stock saddle was horrible. Long story short: after months of pain accompanied by several trips to the bike shop and trying every single Bontrager Saddle as well as a Specialized Romin (I don't like brand mixing and the Romin wasn't obvious), I bought a new Specialized Toupe Expert last week and stuck it on my Trek. Sure enough, all my problems went away immediately and my bike rides have been noticeably more enjoyable. This is the best saddle ever made IMHO.
