Ease of use
See above.
Quality of Construction
Well made. I bought my saddle used on EBAY, but it looks brand new with no wear whatsoever.
Fit
It does take some adjustment. It will feel strange for a while with no nose to lean on. The front tips of the saddle felt a bit wide and I took the advice I had read elsewhere to "narrow" the nose a bit with a garden hose clamp around the rails. It worked great.
Comfort
So far, I LOVE this saddle. No numbness, period. I sat on my trainer in aero position for 90 minutes without sitting up and felt great! You can really fall forward onto the aerobars. The race saddle is less padded than the road, but the gel inserts are right on the sit bones and feel great. No chafing or hot spots.
Adjustability
Easy to adjust as any other seat. Also, my flat wing fits easily on back rails.
Durability
Too soon to tell, but I would buy this seat again, the minute it fails.
Value
Shop around. I recommend checking out the online auctions. I found mine for about half price.
Appearance
Looks great and the grey seat matches my Cervelo P2SL very nicely.
Customer Service
I emailed the company to get the installation instructions and they were quick to respond with a lot of helpul input.
Performance
Does what it state to do... Eliminate numbness.
Strengths
No numbness and very comfortable overall.
Weakness
It is not the golden ticket that will automatically qualify me for Kona. The quest continues...

Ease of installation
Not as bad as I expected after reading other reviews. Initially had seat too far forward and too sloped. I have adjusted twice since installing and am very close to being "dialed in".
