Apparently taking styling cues from fighter jets, the Vector AM’s padding is pretty minimal and firm, but there’s a deep (if narrow) pressure-relief channel to keep the blood flowing where it’s meant to.
Used with bib shorts, we found it pretty comfortable, especially on steep climbs where the slightly turned-down nose provided a reasonable forward perch. Tested back-to-back against one of our favourite saddles, the Specialized Henge Elite, the Vector was noticeably harder, but the smooth edges made it easier to move over the back of the bike when descending. At 241g it’s pretty light. The ‘Pro’ version is pricey, but there’s a chromo-railed ‘Comp’ for 67$.
