"I was reluctant to purchase what seemed like a bargain-basement saddle, but the Vision Tri Gel Aero Saddle is probably the best all-around, comfortable and dependable saddle I have ever used. Finished several seven-hour rides on it, and could sit happily afterwards! It's design also makes it very durable and dependable against the harsh transition area where pushy athletes and rusty bars could damage a more delicate saddle."windnsnow

(5)

Ease of installation

Nothing fancy about installation.

(5)

Ease of use

Very comfortable, no breaking in necessary.

(4)

Quality of Construction

Well constructed, although printing is fading quickly.

(4)

Fit

Surprisingly cozy.

(4)

Comfort

Hard in all the right places and soft likewise. Nose is firm, but forgiving when in aerobars. My perineum is very happy.

(4)

Adjustability

Was able to easily tilt down a a smidge.

(4)

Durability

So far so good, but printed logo is fading.

(5)

Value

Exceptional compared to other tri saddles. Especially considered it comes with Titanium rails!

(3)

Appearance

Looks kinda bulky. Fairing makes it look kind of cheap, but it is worth it

(5)

Performance

It is supposed to be more aero, I can't comment on that, but the Titanium rails make a noticeable difference to my aluminum bike's ride. The fairing also helps the bike stay on transition racks at races. At one windy Half Iron I was at, many bikes blew around, this contraption kept the bike in place. Very comfortable for nose sitting too.

Strengths

Fairing works well for transition. Titanium rails very comfortable as is gel in saddle, without being too soft.
Cost is cheap like Borscht, compared to other saddles.

Weakness

Printed on decals fade very quickly. Butt-ugly design, but then again, so is my butt.
