This striking perch clearly takes some inspiration from ISM’s time trial saddles and is claimed to offer long-distance MTBers greatly reduced pressure on the delicate tissues and nerves that can get pressed into the nose of conventional perches. The position it encourages you to adopt on steep ascents isn’t far off the hunchedforward posture of a time triallist. In this situation, the shape is really comfy, offering a supportive ride with almost no delicate tissue discomfort. Unfortunately, the specialist shape makes it hard to move around the saddle as the terrain changes, and the large, flat rear section gets in the way when riding downhill. If you suffer post-ride pain/numbness and intend to churn out loads of flattish miles, it’s well worth a look. For most, it’s too much of a specialist.
