I am really interested in trying this as I like the looks and the $ but I would love to hear of any experiences.

It looks promising...the low cost makes you wonder what the markup is for all the remainder of the saddle world.

Or what low quality materials and construction they're using at Ritchey to meet a price point. Tomato tomahto.

Maybe? But why would they?
With the prices of saddles twice that is still in the ballpark.

As far as I can tell the name of the game is more the expensive guys figuring out how to build stuff cheap and market it expensive.

Perhaps it's something to do with "the rich, leather-like synthetic leather cover" and "pressure-diffusing lightweight foam". Looks like a nice turbo-like saddle with a lorica type cover. It's not the same as a Brooks type leather saddle.

I'm sure if the shape fits your butt it'll be as good as any other saddle that fits your butt.
