"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."Coucoui 6

(3)

Ease of installation

just like any standard seat.

(3)

Ease of use

just sit on it...like any other seat.

(5)

Quality of Construction

i find it to be very durable... the construction feels and looks very impressive.

(4)

Fit

this seat has a nice long rails with measurements to make fitting and notation easy to do.

(3)

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.

(4)

Adjustability

the rail markers is very helpful.

(4)

Durability

i love the feel and the strength of the materials.

(5)

Value

can't complain about the price, but i'm shopping for a new seat and giving this one to my little bro.

(4)

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.

Weakness

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
