Strengths:
Strong (Maybe Too ?)
Weaknesses:
It is too thick, very uncomfortable
Bike Setup:
Spec. Enduro Exper Hardtail 2001
Bottom Line:
This saddle is very hard, too hard for me. I know how saddle is a personal thing but this one is really hard. It's like riding on a concrete block ! If you want to feel like after a horseback riding day juste after 10min on your bike, buy this saddle. Really, there is almost only rails (CroMo I think) and a plastic frame with leather on. No cushion, nothing !! TOO HARD. Sorry but i'm thick an tired of this "saddle"

I am very happy with my new saddle. The stress which I use to feel is gone... this saddle is much more comfy than my old one. I know it's a bit pricey... but I said "why not"... it looks so cool and matched my bike.
