Yep.  I own two.  I have one on my tri bike and one on my cyclocross bike.  At this point I won't use anything else.  I tried 7 or 8 different saddles before going to this one and the Adamo is the first one that causes me no numbness issues at all.

Be aware that it will likely be uncomfortable at first till you get used to the new seating position and the firmness of the saddle on your sits bones.  Took me a few hours, has taken other people a few days of regular riding.

I just put one on my TT bike last weekend. I don't have a lot of miles with it yet, but it seems to do as they claim in regards to numbness issues. On the downside, I got a dang saddle sore the first ride.

Hopefully I'll acclimate to the wider nose, and the saddle sore issue will be a one time thing.

Scott....if you can't get used to the wider nose, try this: Run a zip tie under the saddle around the two metal bars you see there, and pull them together a bit with the zip tie.  Might do the trick.

Chamois butter.  That solved it for me.

I thought about this too. How is the racing different from the road saddle?

Another vote for the saddle.

i just bought the saddle about 3 weeks ago, and i have to agree with everyone that the numbness is gone immediately, but the sit bones take a wicked beating for a little while. it also has a very convenient spot on the underside rear of the seat that fits nicely over the racks in transition. just a little neat plus that it provides for you as well
