Strengths:
Very comfortable, once you get used to the strange look/shape. It works best when I sit right at the back of the saddle -- but that's my preferred position, anyway.
Weaknesses:
Very wide -- I can't get behind the saddle for a challenging downhill section. No, I don't jump or do real 'downhill', but do some moderately technical tracks. And there's places I really feel uncomfortable -- I could go headfirst over the bars. I'm switching this saddle to my road bike soon..
Exceptionally good for recreational riding or on the road. NOT for technical singletrack.

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
If you by this saddle you should be an xc or crosscountry rider. Dont try to use it on any down hill courses it'll get damaged like mine but still this is a GREAT saddle. I also suggest that you make sure that the seat post is bolted to it very tightly, because it kept sliding up and down the rodz and that is how i think mine got broken.
