Used product for : 6 months
Ease of installation :
just like any standard seat.
Ease of use :
just sit on it...like any other seat.
Quality of Construction :
i find it to be very durable... the construction feels and looks very impressive.
Fit :
this seat has a nice long rails with measurements to make fitting and notation easy to do.
Comfort :
i find the comfort to be good for a race saddle but only for short distances. i still have numbness issues if i ride over 2hrs. every one of my 50+ miles workouts have givin' me "numb nuts". i recently spent the money for a proper fitting but the numbness is still there. i do get relief if i tilt the nose down a few more degrees but then i have too much pressure on my hands and another issue starts.
Adjustability :
the rail markers is very helpful.
Durability :
i love the feel and the strength of the materials.
Value :
can't complain about the price, but i'm shopping for a new seat and giving this one to my little bro.
Appearance :
very nice looking .... it makes my bike faster just sitting there in my garage.

Strengths

low profile, perfect size in the back and nose for me ( 5'7" and 160 lbs), great looks, durable and quality materials. the shape and width provides me ease of leg motion.

Weaknesses

the cutout is a bit small and the nose padding could be thicker. i find the padding easily flatting out with longer treks. the seat does flex but not enough to prevent numbness

Summary

i would recommend this product with some reservations. i love this seat for short 1-2 hr rides. it's not comfortable enough for longer routes.
