Duration Product Used:

Price Paid:
$50.00
Purchased At:
Precision Tandems
Strengths:
Very comfortable. Seems to be strong.
Weaknesses:
The rails float and the saddle seems somewhat prone to being out of misalignment. (at least it was when it arrived)
Similar Products Used:
Selle Italia flite, gel, turbo gel, etc.
Bike Setup:
Santana Sovereign 2003.
Bottom Line:
The saddle came on our tandem. I didn't think I would like it, and planned to take it off, but decided to give it a whirl. Am I glad I did. I really like this saddle. Ergo design keeps pressure off the twig and berries and the padding is nice on the buns. Despite more generous padding, doesn't seem to heat up. About the most comfortable saddle I've owned.

Your bum will thank you. Wide back, and nice accomadating little dip....any way it kicks butt.

Stock Gary Fisher Seat. It did not stand up to my standards.
Bike Setup:
Gary Fisher Kaitai. Rock Shocks Judy XC shocks. I like the Kaitai. Its a nice bike.
Bottom Line:
Buy or win this seat. It doesnt feel like someone kicked you in the ass after a 3 mile ride! It is well worth the $ I have ridden on this seat for 3 monthes now and I still love it. The seat is also coated in leather and it won't fall apart.

Strengths:
Very durable. I havent been able to rip this saddle yet and this is a first. Seems light and looks pretty cool too. Not too many people use this saddle so i get some questions about it.
Weaknesses:
Very hard. I'm 140 and picky when it comes to saddle feel. After a few hours doing some fast technical it makes the bum hurt.

Bottom Line:
I like this saddle but if my ass had arms, it would smack me everytime that saddle hit it. I'm gonna buy a body geometry soon.
