A fantastically comfortable saddle for it weight (measured 175g). The hyperboloidal shape is very supportive and matched well my relatively narrow sit bones. The shape locks you into position, however - no shifting forward and aft in this saddle.

The saddle is working well so far still a little early to say but happy. I had one problem when fitting the saddle they say it’s 7x9 clamps to fix the saddle I had these already got actually 7x9.6. Looking forward to trying my new saddle out I found these clamps wouldn’t work. The problem is the carbon rails have a protective tape around them and to me yes this is a good idea. But it makes the rails really 7x10.6 and you would need clamps to accommodate this which you cannot purchase. Therefore you need to change your seat post also. Fortunately I didn’t have to do this and being a engineer myself I was able to machine the clamps 1mm wider so the saddle would fit. Takes a little bit of time and thought but now my new saddle is fitted and working well. The saddle is great just think about how you will fit it to your bike.
