Date Reviewed: October 21, 2003 | | Favoriate Trail: | IronHorse | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Purchased At: | W/Road bike | | Strengths: | Light, stiff, not too big, comfortable, looks good. | | Weaknesses: | Not the most comfortable saddle ever. | | Similar Products Used: | SDG BelAir, other cheapo crappy saddles. | | Bike Setup: | Specialized Alez comp, all Ultegra. | | Bottom Line: | Its a good stiff saddle that doesnt get in the way of peddling, absorbs the bumps well but takes a little breaking in/getting used to. More suited to road riding or XC racing. Its not good for long Mtn bike rides or DH/FR. Gell relief zone is nice. This one stays on my road bike, the SDG BelAir stays on the MTnBike. Good seat for cheap. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: February 10, 2003 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | LIGHT! It's stiff and strong, just the way i like it. | | Weaknesses: | I've had one or two occasions after 5+ hour rides where i was a little numb. Nothing that wearing better bike shorts couldn't fix | | Similar Products Used: | Crappy seats that came standard on crappy bikes. | | Bike Setup: | 2002 KHS Alite 4000 - Performance View Point Helmet Mount lighting system. | | Bottom Line: | Wow compaired to the seats i've ridden on up until this one, it's a dream! And for the weight saved, i guess i can just plan my night life around the down times in riding. The bike also came with the easton carbon fiber post which adds to the weight savings. all in all, very dependable and rigid. Just periodically check all the hex bolts on the saddle to make sure nothing's comming loose. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: February 13, 2002 | | Favoriate Trail: | Green Ridge State Forrest (MD) | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$20.00 | | Purchased At: | pricepoint.com | | Strengths: | Good looking, light, well made, and it is comfortable. | | Weaknesses: | none | | Similar Products Used: | Bontrager | | Bike Setup: | Trek 6500 with EA50seatpost | | Bottom Line: | This review is for the cromoly version. I bought this (and the Easton EA50 seatpost) to use as a replacement for my Bontrager/thudbuster set-up, mainly for when I'm racing.
I figured that between 230gr saved on the post, and 100gr saved on the seat (and various other race day changes), that I'd have a bike that was quite a bit lighter.
I also figured my rear would get a beating, having gotten pretty used to the Thudbuster.
I've tried this saddle out for several rides now (w/o Thudbuster), and I'm real pleased with the comfort.
If you do happen to get this, and don't like the way it feels, make a few minor adjustments. The two reviews before this one didn't faze me in the least when making a decision here. Whether or not you like a seat (or shorts, shoes or anything else where comfort plays into it), is real subjective, and depends on factors othere than just the seat itself.
I like this seat a lot. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$38.00 | | Purchased At: | CBO | | Strengths: | Light, comfy, well priced, well constructed, no gaudy colors | | Weaknesses: | none so far | | Similar Products Used: | Flite,Bonti Ti, SDG TI | | Bike Setup: | Kona Hot | | Bottom Line: | I actually got it to put on my recently aquired Kula, but my butt likes it so much, it will go on my primary bike, the Hot. Slender shape is very familiar, plus it has a little cut out with gel that is a little langiappe. Real leather and Ti rails to take the sting out of our rocky trails. I love it so far. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
