Had to do a double take, when I saw one of these go past me when walking. Looks weird, but somehow intrigued at to whether they are any good.
Anyone use one?

Not tried that one (£130+?!) but as part of my Great Saddle Investigation I bought one of these:



... which I have to say wasn't 100% successful, so I then had a go with one of these which strangely enough almost worked...



... but not quite, because it was too slippery and I kept sliding fore and aft.

Had fun trying though, and both were certainly nicer on The Bits than 'normal' saddles.

Have never understood the appeal of 'razorblade' seating arrangements such as the Fi'z:ik Gobi etc. I've now standardised on the Selle Max S5 Superflow with its extra wide cutout. Next time I might have a bash with this, which should surely be half the price of everything else given that it's got half the parts:

I worry the same could quite quickly apply to the owner too

Saw this being demo-ed in real life outside the Scottish Parliament a few years back. Looked about as comfortable.

I suspect the issue with that will be like the one Reg tried - you'd be constantly having to stop your self from sliding back or forward. So you exchange butt pain for wrist pain....
Can't help thinking that if I can sit on a conventional saddle for 31 hours (Ok with some walking ) I don't really need to try anything too mad like that. As long as there is a generous cut out of course....

I've never managed to find anything comfortable for over about 4 hours. After that its just varying degrees of tolerance and pain management.
