Review: Won me over, in the end - I actually sent this saddle back initially having made the silly mistake of just sitting on the bike indoors and declaring it too firm. Well, when it was returned to sender, I thought, let's give it another go. I have now grown to love it and a recent 4-5 day tour in Scotland confirmed that it's comfortable all day long (with a decent pair of padded shorts). I even ride this thing without padded shorts sometimes and it's absolutely fine say for 45mins. I can't emphasise enough: do ensure your position on the bike is correct before blaming the saddle! Your sit bones should be on the wider part of the seat (or thereabouts) unless you're shifting your weight forward to get in a more TT position. Do also give some time to break the saddle in and as mentioned, wear decent padded shorts. In my experienced, shorts like Altura are rubbish whereas Castelli's chamois is like having a mini suspension under your butt! Do also get the saddle nice a flat by using a spirit level on the front half of the seat (you can get phone apps that will do this). Other stuff: it looks genuinely slick on the bike and is fairly lightweight too.
Review: Very comfortable and good for long rides. - Very comfortable and forgiving on long rides. I tried a few different saddles before settling on this and it's worth every penny. This is a replacement for the original Giant Approach that came with the bike.
