Just wondering if anyone has it? Do you like it? Why or why not?
Thanks

I have had one for a couple weeks. Not much to compare it to since I started out with my 15 year old roadie saddle, then I talked to the wrong guy in the tri shop that sold me an FSA racing saddle (ouch), they swapped it out for this one.

So far I am very happy with it.  Aero is pretty comfortable, I am still getting used to the position but the cut out reduces pressure on the perineum.  I've done three 20 + mile rides back to back Sat-Mon and it felt as good as something like that could feel.

Yes, I have one!! I really like it. I originally put the San Marco Aspide on my QR Caliente. I can't say that I miss getting rid of it. My LBS let me try out about 15 different saddles and he finally pulled the Profile saddle out from under the counter. He said they werent even on the market yet,but his Profile rep gave him one to demo. I thought he might be trying to BS me into liking the saddle(you know,I'm riding with a prototype saddle,I'm so special). I did love the damn thing immediately!! Checked the Profile website and it did'nt show up for about 5 weeks later! Turns out my bike shop owner truly is tops is customer service. I tried a lot of different saddles to alleviate numbness that turned to pain after 30 miles. This one fit the bill, hope it helps.

I pulled the trigger on this one as well.  Longest ride on it so far is about 30 miles, and it is just as good, if not better, than my Fizik Arione Tri which is now on my road bike (and also cost 150% more).  I think with a little tweaking of position this could be the one.  I've got a 56 miler this weekend and should have a better idea after that.
