Not to expensive.
Comfortable
Resonably light
Enamel painted finish on rails????
I mean what were they thinking
Jeezz coupled up with the quality dampening one recieves from Syncros 7075, this combo is like riding a soft tail.I agree with the other review in regards to having a dual bolt post as the additional length certainly loads up that particular area.The deep rails and correct ergonomics make for a good all day enduro saddle.Shame about the cheap arse white enamel paint.Oh yeah for all you weight weenies,the things only slightly heavier than my WTBSSTK saddle which is fairly light.4.5 hot ones MR T.

You can move around on it while you climb or sit towards the back end while you descend
none
Awesome seat. Sit back and fly downhill on this bad boy or sit up on the nose to get your body over the pedals while you are climbing uphill. Very comfortable and beats the hell out of heavy gel saddles

This saddle looks realllll long. It is actually only 2 longer and 1/2 wider than a Flite. It seems to be real padded but on the trail it is quite firm. The extra length is nice and doesn't interfere with pedaling, it has beefy rails that should last through at least one good spill. Hell it isn't even all that heavy - lighter than an Avocet Gel saddle. Be sure and use a 2 bolt seatpost with this saddle though, the incredible leverage it can exert WILL flex the head of most single bolt posts... My buddy got about 2 of travel out of that flex, definetly unsafe! Can't wait to see the new Multicontrol 2, it has an insert like a WTB '98 and is more sculpted... Until then my *ss will be planted to a XL.

Comfortable, long, firm but not so hard it hurts your butt, not so soft it gives you hemmhorhoids, looks, low profile enough to stay out of your way when doing tabletops and other bike whip tricks
rails can bend easily
This is a great seat. I used a tioga multi control dh and found it so soft that it hurt my butt after riding down the street, not to mention trails. I loaned this to my friend and he wrecked it, but it was thrashed anyway so he gave me $20 and I got another one. It's obvious that alot of effort went into this saddle, because it's so well designed. When I break this, I'll get tioga's new version with replaceable rails (hopefully out by this fall.) If you like good seats that don't hurt your butt, pick this up and you will be happy.

Sturdy, strong, lasts long, looks good (i have mine in red)
none so far. its held up to everything. The "Tioga" wore off on the side though, but thats a given.
Great saddle. The other guy on this page said his rails bent, but he must have a defective product. Ive had mine for a year, and id say id bashed it good. So far so good. Its a great saddle and the extra size is more comfortable. Also, the bigger size is great for when you need to pinch it between your knees for no handers or stability. By it if you want a lasting, heavier weight saddle. If i break this seat sometime soon, i'll buy another one.

This seat is long and narrow just like a motocross seat, it allows you to shift your body back and forward while seated and is very narrow allowing you to get off the back while descending. also looks good ( black and red )
Still hard on your bum.
I couldn't find a better seat for free-riding so I bought it and have since noticed alot of pro down-hillers using them. The black and white version looks longer ( but isn't ) and has less kevlar and staples, so got the red and black one. I am very pleased with the seat and the extra length is a big help on technical trails, fully recomended.

Looks, strength, very comfy
The white paint on the rails scratches off too easily.
This is the best saddle I have ever had. It is very tough, and coupled with the Hurricane Seatpost (extra long clamp) it is damn near bomb-proof. I don't understand why everyone claims the rails are flimsy. I haven't had any problems, and I have been riding off drops and doing some really sick riding. In my opinion, this saddle rocks, and I give it 5 flaming chilis!

Tough, Sexy, Huge, Kevlar, Cushy, Sleek, Great for Climbing and descending (Multi-Positions, what do you know?)
Needs kevlar on tip. Long rails put too much leverage on seatpost clamp causing the clamp to break. Buy a nice post.
I was stupid and bought the saddle at too high of a price. I got the red and black version to go with my bike (Great) After 2 years of hardcore freeriding use, it's rails are only mildly warped (Barely noticeable) I have been through at least 4 posts because the rails are so long that they break clamps due to leverage (Tip: Buy a nice post) Has tiny rip on the front, but other than that, fine. It will kick your ass. Great for freeriding because you can get your bum waaay back for chutes, or sit forward for climbing all comfortably. The ultimate freeride saddle, buy one.
