This is the best saddle I've ever used.

For years i suffered on the stock specialized saddle that came on my bike in 1998. After taking a hiatus from biking and returning, I began seeking a more comfortable saddle. first i bought one of those overly cushiony gel saddles, thinking that the more cushioning there is, the more comfortable it will be, but this is simply not so. The most importnat thing about a saddle is the shape and this one fits me perfectly. It took about a week of fiddling to find the right height and angle for me but i havent touched it since.

Its also rather durable, I ride every day and have been using this for 6 months and its showing very minimal wear. It's even been through a crash resulting in only a minor scuff mark on the side.

Overall theis is a great deal for the money!

Mine is a different design and isn't open in the center, so it wasn't what I expected. I am planning on trying it out anyways, though. I do think I was ripped off, lol.

decent looking, different materials on white finish, some parts are like a rubbery finish, anyways, for me this seat was actually quite comfortable, it's a squishy padding that sinks in with one finger but is race styled, and it's light too.

I decided to give this saddle a try. My biggest concern was the price tag. How good can something really be if it's cheap? This saddle is very well padded (though I prefer my seat alittle less so)and a comfort to sit on, which really surprised me. I've owned it for a month now and its as white as the day I've received it. The cutout is perfect except if I sit on it wrong I will feel direct pressure from the sides.

A little stiffer than my last saddle, but haven't felt the infamous 'tingle' (the feeling you get when blood re-enters vacinities that were cut off due to pressure) in those very important parts since I got it. I've only had it a month or two so can't say about the color transfer (turning blue from my jeans) or other concerns other reviewers had.

This WHITE seat is surprisingly comfortable, cool and breezy. However it WILL transfer any color [bike shorts] under the sun, except *PERHAPS* white shorts! (And who, other than pros, wears WHITE bike shorts?). So, if you are OK with having a "dirty-looking" seat, then by all means, pick one up. Their value (for the price) is excellent, but keep in mind that your clean, white seat will NOT stay white and it's far heavier and less comfortable than, say, a Selle Italia Flite saddle (at triple, or quadruple the price). I am happy with mine, once I got over the color transfer. Best of Luck to you!
