$75.00 | | Purchased At: | Specialized.com | | Strengths: | Very comfortable, even on all day epic rides | | Weaknesses: | Slightly heavy, but nothing unexpected | | Similar Products Used: | Selle San Marco Aspide, WTB Laser series | | Bike Setup: | 2003 Ellsworth Truth, full RF/XTR, Avid Ultimate rim brakes, CK/Mavic wheels | | Bottom Line: | The Specialized Gel Pro is one's the most comfortable saddles I've used in quite a long time. Definitely makes those all-day epic rides so much easier on your tail end. It's heavier than my Selle San Marco Aspide, but this wasn't anything unexpected.

$75.00 | | Purchased At: | www.specialized.com | | Strengths: | Light, superb construction, not a long break-in period. | | Weaknesses: | Can't find any, yet. | | Similar Products Used: | Specialized Comp, Fizik Pave, Selle Italia Ti Flite | | Bike Setup: | I have this saddle on my Cannondale R600 road bike. | | Bottom Line: | This is a great saddle for a long distant ride. I have no problems riding a century with it. I use a Specialized "Comp" saddle on the MT. Bike and totally love that seat so I simply stuck with the same company for a road saddle.

$75.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Comfy! lightweight for being so comfy! TI rails make the ride just that much softer, very tough. | | Weaknesses: | kinda heavy in comparason to carbonfiber "nutbusters" | | Similar Products Used: | Bontrager, WTB, itilaa | | Bike Setup: | Trek 9.9 03 xtr group, foxf80 TIV, etc | | Bottom Line: | Great saddle! its surprisingly light for it being so comfy! very tough due to reinforced leather near edges and wear points, VERY well designed! WTG specialized! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$75.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Great shape for more experienced riders. Very hard padding, and reinforced wear areas. | | Weaknesses: | Maybe too hard for low hour riders | | Bike Setup: | GF Suagar +, stock-ish | | Bottom Line: | If you're looking for a very firm saddle, give this one a spin around the block for an hour or so. I liked right off that bat, but some may prefer softer padding. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
