    Date Reviewed: May 18, 2007
    Duration Product Used:6 months
    Price Paid: $90.00
    Strengths:love channel thingy takes some strain off on longer rides...
    Weaknesses:very wide at the rear, creaks like crazy
    Similar Products Used:selle italia flite, fizik, few bonty's, SDG bel-air
    Bike Setup:evil sovereign, hope discs, azonic carbon bars, etc..
    Bottom Line:not a great saddle for the off roader... i find the saddle too wide at the back which actually gets in the way when shifting my weight back going down hill, especially when im leaning into corners and shifting my weight on very technical sections.

    the width also puts excess pressure on one point at the rear of my thigh/ass which i ended up rubbing so raw (on both legs) that it started bleeding on a long xc ride.

    this saddle creaks like an old barn door, people can hear you pedalling up the trail long before they can see you! im do hit the gym hard, so im 5'8 and almost 180lbs but still...

    Date Reviewed: April 8, 2007
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $120.00
    Purchased At:Performance Bikes
    Strengths:Very comfortable. I can ride longer in comfort.
    Weaknesses:Nose might be a tad wide for some. Seems okay for me.
    Similar Products Used:Specialized saddles.
    Bike Setup:Road bike.
    Bottom Line:I selected this saddle based on its similar design to the saddle that came on my full suspension GT I-drive, which I find comfortable. I needed a very comfortable saddle for my road bike to do century rides and other 6 hour plus excursions. So far this saddle has met all my expectations and I find it comfortable even after more than 5 hour sitting on it. I'm 190 lbs.
