| FavoriteTrail: | oxford falls |
| Duration Product Used: | 3 months |
| Purchased At: | came with bike |
| Strengths: | Looks great Durability (whenever i flip my bike over to fix something it never tears) soft (for me) |
| Weaknesses: | Not a great jump saddle |
| Bike Setup: | Garyfisher bitter |
| Bottom Line: | Its a great saddle if you spend most of your time out of your seat standing up. But if you sit down a lot you should go get something softer |

| FavoriteTrail: | +***LYNN WOODS***+ and B&T's |
| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Purchased At: | Came on Bike - Western Cycle |
| Strengths: | Everything I said above...looks cool and is comfy |
| Weaknesses: | I BROKE IT. Yes, today I had a crash and people wanted me to go to the ER...just to give you an idea of what kinda crash...anyway, the seat seperated from the rails. |
| Similar Products Tried: | Other comfy Bontragers...Selle San Marco ERA...WTB |
| Bike Setup: | GF KingFisher 1 frame w/2 components |
| Bottom Line: | I love it and wana get it again...it was a bad crash so I really can't blame Bontrager. But, given that it is meant to withstand insane stuff as it's an Earl, I can only give it 4 chillies. |

| FavoriteTrail: | *************************************LYNN WOODS*************************************or Bruce and Tom |
| Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month |
| Purchased At: | Western Cycle - Came on my KingFisher |
| Strengths: | Looks cool* Is comfy enough for rough stuff Is not big and squishy Looks cool* |
| Weaknesses: | uh... none! |
| Similar Products Tried: | WTB, San Marco Era, cheaper Bontrager, SDG -really bad |
| Bike Setup: | KingFisher 1 frame...KingFisher 2 components |
| Bottom Line: | I like the stuff that's some type of fabric which makes up a lot of the seat. Is relatively comfy without being to squishy. A great seat. |
