Strengths:    light, strong

Weaknesses:    Adjustment difficult. Tilt affects front to back. No other saddle will fit on the seatpost.

Bottom Line:   
My preference in saddles is WTB Rocket V ProGel. The Kore saddle and seatpost came on the bike when I bought it. The saddle was comfortable at first and very light. I spent some time adjusting the bike, including the saddle height, reach, etc, and found that tilt adjustment caused the saddle to move back or forward. I don't like having one adjustment adjust another. The tilt has the tendency to stick also. I didn't try but the one seatpost so don't know if it was just this one that was sticking or if they all do. The way they are built, it really looks like they all would stick. After 15 to 20 miles, the saddle didn't feel so good so I wanted to change back to my WTB ProGel, but since this is the only seatpost made with this type of receiver on the top, I had to change seatpost as well. I'll be putting this thing on Craig's List to see if I can recoup some of my loses from having to buy another seatpost. Did I mention that my other bikes all have 27.2 seatposts, this one is 31.6, so had to buy more even though I have more than one seatpost of the wrong diameter around the house. Bottom line, I don't like the seatpost or saddle.
