"This saddle has made me want to ride again. Love it. If you've tried everything else, this may be for you."Ryan in Dallas

(3)

Ease of installation

A little tricky to get it where I wanted it, but I eventually figured it out. You have to remember that this is a noseless saddle, so it will be positioned differently than your former saddle.

(3)

Quality of Construction

I do have a pretty good rip in the front of mine, but I would mainly contribute that to trying to drive into the garage with my bike on the roof rack.

(4)

Comfort

Feels soooooo much better than any saddle I've ever tried. Especially in aero. The wide nose (or where the nose would be) rubs me a little more than I'd like, but I'd take the trade-off anyday. I can do any ride in tri shorts now.

(4)

Adjustability

Just like any other saddle. However, you are a little limited with the amount that you can move the saddle back, due to the fact that there is no nose, so the rails don't go up as far.

(3)

Durability

See quality of construction. I'm not sure if I should be angry or not at my saddle for ripping when I ran it into a garage, but I feel the cover could be a little thicker. Nobody looks cool with duct tape on their bike.

(4)

Value

Expensive, but priceless at the same time.

(5)

Appearance

I got the red one to match my bike. Coolest looking saddle I've ever seen.

(5)

Performance

A tiny bit heavier that my former saddles, but I'm a more comfortable and happier rider with it.

Strengths

The only saddle that doesn't hurt. It works for me, may not for you.

Weakness

Expensive, not real durable
