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. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$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. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
