Good for a tight turning in the trees type of downhill race. Also good for huge jumps and for throwing no-handers. Its different. it is no longer made. If you can get a hold of one, do it. Check suspension tolerances with bottoming out on tire with some bikes.

Bottom Line:
I worked at a shop for awhile, and we had this seat for two years. Nobody would even consider buying it. It looks soo bad. But I've never ridden it, so I don't know. I just know it got really dusty because it looks so bad. I'll give it three chillis because I've never used it, and therfore it could be an awesome saddle, I just don't know.
