I normally use a 145mm width saddle and this saddle fits me great. It’s a huge weight savings over a standard saddle. I saved over 100g swapping saddles.My only complaint is that the edge is too sharp. I wanted to put this on my XC racing mtb. I tried but the thin edge on the side is painful when it hits my thigh when I’m riding steep bumpy trails. I imagine if I crashed and it landed on me it would cause a bad injury. I took it off my MTB and put it on my racing road bike as the saddle doesn’t get knocked into my thigh on the road bike.

3x lighter than my alternate gel saddle. Can easily slide back n forth to find best position. Seems vey strong. Regular rides up to 30 mi and I find it very comfortable. Likely to purchase a spare.

I have two of these seats from this seller and really like them on my road/gravel bikes.They are fully carbon as advertised. The build quality is what you might expect but they are a super light seat and you can't be the price.Without padding some might find this raw carbon seat uncomfortable but I really like them as they seem to fit my bone structure perfectly... and the carbon construction actually absorbs some of the small seat vibration.I have had 1 seat for almost 2 years and the other I have used for the current season. I use one on my recreational road/gravel bike and the other on.my road specific bike. Both have held up great with no apparent cracks or degradation.On the critique side of things, I had to lightly sand the edges of both seats to remove mold marks (which were razor sharp) and also had to file the rails down a bit to fit my seatpost clamp. (They are rectangular rather than circular so were a bit fat). The measurement markings don't seem to relate to anything and are only useful for knowing what position you were in as you fine-tune alignment. When I had the seat adjusted to suit, on both my bikes it was pushed to, or almost to the forward limit but this may be due more my size and setup requirements.All in all a really good seat for a really good price and recommended for anyone who already uses a firm seat with similar shape or might otherwise feel comfortable on a seat without any padding whatever.

The seat is light, and the shape works well. The carbon bends in such a way that it reduces road vibration without padding, and when wearing high quality bibs makes for a great ride. Saddle shape is very personal but it seems to work well for me - it is more comfortable on long rides (5+ hours) than my pro stealth saddle (which previously seemed to cause chafing due to wide nose). That said, the long, narrow shape of this saddle, while comfortable in most scenarios, does not provide a stable platform for TT efforts, and the bare carbon can be slippery against bib shorts when putting power down. This leads to excessive hip motion which is annoying in these scenarios. I probably would prefer not racing with the saddle, but I love it for the long fall rides I am doing now.The saddle itself is outrageously cheap compared to competition. You can see this especially in the way the rails are bonded to the top piece. The cost cutting/poorly thought out construction in this area makes the saddle susceptible to impact damage. A few weeks ago, I crashed and the saddle hit the pavement. The rail has a minor crack at the point of attachment at the nose of the saddle. It is rideable, but makes a concerning creaking noise when sitting close to the nose.But here I am ordering another one to replace my current cracked saddle. I like it otherwise, and something similar that is made in Italy is $400. So why not? It's only 30 bucks.

Awesome look, 3k carbon finish on top and I was happy to see UD (unidirectional) carbon on the bottom, that makes it very strong even "if speedy construction" as I see on this one. I work with Carbon fiber for hobby since 2014, I build skydiving helmet, and many other things and parts. The problem I encounter with this particular product is: the two parallel carbon pipes under the sit ARE NOT rounded, they are more oval-shaped like, and very poor construed, they can still be strong but I will suggest, if they are using prepeg carbon, is time to change your mold or upgrade it. Why? Because it really makes it impossible for SCOTT foil sit post bracket to fit properly, it actually doesn't fit at all, at least on this new one. I would try to install it on my TT Felt ia16 instead and will upload pictures of both as soon as I can.
