Granted, I bought this saddle, without me to make previously thoroughly thought to ergonomics. My current (cozy) saddle was broken, so had a new (most favorable) ago. Well, I'm a slender man, ie the distance between my seat bones is relatively low. That does not seem to fit really to the sweeping shape of this saddle. For short distances is not a problem. The padding is thick, and there is also a suspension, the shock catches. But at about 10 km from Tours, I realize that the saddle squeezes me an unpleasant large area in the step. It starts then soon to hurt. For this reason, I've bought another saddle; one who is the manufacturer "perfectly adapted to the male anatomy." This saddle I will assemble the same only, so I can not write much about the differences in use, only so much that the other saddle in the middle has a recess that will surely push pretty uncomfortable in step.
