Bottom Line:
This saddle has outlasted my supposedly super-resilient downhill seat post. That's a pretty strong statement right there.
I weigh 250 pounds, and I used to go through saddles on a monthly basis. Either the rails would bend, or the casing would crack, or it would be uncomfortable for long rides. Not so with this saddle! It's survived everything I put it through, and it's still ready for more. It's by far the most comfortable saddle I've ever used, even for 3+ hour rides. In fact, my legs tend to wear out long before my butt does. And it weighs less than any other saddle I've ever used.
Cushy saddles are not the answer to saddle sores. The answer lies in finding the right saddle that fits you best, and I've found the perfect one for me. It was worth every dollar.
