But yeah, this thing looks stupid.

If it works for you who cares ? One of my regular saddles is a Sella SMP-they invoke plenty of comments.

those SMP saddles are probably uglier than this.

the spesh power (which I use), is pretty ugly.

as long as it works for the user, that is what matters. You can't see it while you ridding anyways.

But would you try it if they gave it to you for 90 days?

I would.

My other regular saddle is the spesh Power. I think it looks light years better than any SMP. Yet, I like them both.

They do, minus return shipping and a $35.00 restocking fee.

They are actually local to me. I may ride over to them and demo a saddle.

Looks aside if it allows you to get on a bike and ride then who cares. I know we all love bike aesthetics, but it's really about the ride. I use leather suspended saddles on all my bikes regardless of the way they look because it keeps me riding in comfort for longer.

This saddle looks a bit masochistic to me, but it may be the ticket for those that are unable to use other saddles. Whatever works.

oh I agree with you 100%. The SMP is one of the ugliest but if I tried it and worked better than the power, I would not think twice.

I never tried it though, super happy with the power.

I totally agree. Whatever works! I've been riding SMPs exclusively for at least 10 years. I got tired of numbing on long rides. I've spent over 100 miles in the saddle with no issues multiple times and over 200 a few. I'll never go back and I actually like the funny comments

If it fits well, I don't care what a saddle looks like!

But some saddles look like they would never obey.
