I have the adamo race and I love it. Is it worth the money? Not to me, but it came with my bike. I was almost as comfortable on my stock specialized saddle on my old bike at 1/3 the cost.

I have the adamo race.  In my opinion, if you're going to sit in a very aggressive aero position, its worth it.  I guess everyone is different, but i had a selle de italia, and it def was not meant for an aggressive aero position.

I know they make a bunch of other saddles specifically for aggresive aero positions, but i really really didn't wanna go through the hassle of buying saddles and returning them.  I found a deal on ebay for 99 bucks and i bought it.

So far so good!  It only took 1 25 mile ride and a few trips down the street to get the seat/aerobars adjusted properly.

I was having prostate issues and was getting very uncomfortable on my old saddle. I bought the Adamo Race and put about 3500 miles on it this year without any problems. The only other saddle I would even consider is one of the new John Cobb saddles, which is basically the same design but with the nose angled down.

Have the Adamo road saddle...love it.  Did my first IM on it with no numbness or discomfort (which I was getting on rides over 80 miles with traditional saddle).

I have a yellow race/tri saddle!!! its unbeleivable I got it for $130 at a really nice dealer.

I have never had a bike fit but this saddle moved me up and over my pedals and i have never felt more comfortable.....deadly aggresive position~~! The way it is designed fits my bottom perfectly.... i say bottom because its built so that there is no pressure points, and if you ride TT/tri bikes, the seat angle on the racing saddle is perfectand that little hook on the back works wonders Tongue out...

even though its shaped weird i think my yellow saddle looks pretty awesome on my black/red bike!

Worth every penny.... i think im going to stick with this saddle until i die.

I have the race version.  I like it, but I will say that I think I got it prematurely.  I was uncomfortable on the stock saddle on my bike, and got the Adamo.  I now think that that my discomfort was due to a less than perfect position and inexperience.  But, I do still use the Adam because it works for me.

I guess I 'm the weird one...but I bought it because I saw all the great reviews, for guys and girls. Took my bike in to get fitted on it and it was SOO uncomfortable just testing it on my bike...I was in so much pain...i think it was way too wide for me...I returned it the next...but besides myself I've only heard good things about it. Just not for me.

Almost took mine back the next day...same reaction...felt too wide.  By the third ride, though, it felt good.

Love it! It took a few rides to get used to it but after that it's by far the most comfortable I have ever been on a bike. No more numbness.

It definitely takes a few rides to get used to because you sit on it differently than a regular saddle, but I love mine. I have the road version, used it in everything from a super sprint to an IM and zero discomfort.

I tried the Adamo saddle and rode it first time for about 30 miles.  My sit bone area was so cut to shreds and bruised that I couldn't ride for over a week.

FWIW, I wanted to add that when I bought the saddle the sales rep from Adamo recommended I get the road saddle for my tri bike. It was a little bit cheaper if I remember correctly. But yeah, I'm really glad I bought one. I had a lot of numbness issues with my previous saddles. None with the Adamo.
