    Submitted by Weight Weenie a Racer from Stockholm
    Date Reviewed: September 10, 2007
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Purchased At:Online
    Strengths:Comfortable (YES is true), Light, Carbon, Cool Looking
    Weaknesses:You need a special adapter from USE to use this and it is not compatible with all seatpost
    Similar Products Used:Fizik Arione Carbone, San Marco Concor, Selle Italia Flight, San Marco Aspire (oh my a$$ still hurts from this)
    Bike Setup:Merlin Ti Frame Campag Record Groupset, Tune Fastfood Cranks and Mig/Mag Hubs
    Bottom Line:Amazingly comfortable, the first time I sat on it it reminded me of the Selle Italia Flight. I use this saddle daily 70km commute, my rear hasn't complained once. It seems that the saddle sits just under your t bone. The only down side is that you would need a special wide diameter rail from some seatpost, as in the USE Alien.

    Submitted by $mokeyJoe a Cross Country Rider from Mol,Belgium
    Date Reviewed: May 19, 2006
    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Price Paid: $166.00
    Purchased At:www.h&sdiscount.de
    Strengths:Light(marathon= 109g),enough comfortable,killer looks,strong(yes indeed!)
    Weaknesses:Leather wears fast and begins to come loose at the tip,that's all after some time thinking...
    Bike Setup:Carbon,aluminium,titanium
    Bottom Line:First impression when i held the saddle:wow,am i going to sit on this!?!Super light feeling,quite strong but the shell is pretty flexy,so comfort is guaranteed.I'm talking about the Marathon.It has a thin leather cover but after several muddy and wet bike conditions it begins(after a year) to wear a bit.At the nose of the saddle there's also some leather coming loose.This is because when i bike i hold my legs pretty close to the toptube,so it scrubs a bit.
    After all a very comfortable saddle and a good investment for them who are looking for a lightweight saddle that still is comfortable.
