'GOOD LOOKING SEMI COMFY SADDLE'

Strengths:
Looks good. Just the right amount of padding. Nice length for a time trial and loads of reposition movement for long rides.

Weaknesses:
Slightly too wide and I have the smallest. Expensive!

Overall:
Very nice comfortable saddle with loads of choice.

'WOW A COMFY SADDLE!'

Strengths:
Really is comfy, I've completed a 100k merida on it with no soreness.

Weaknesses:
So comfy I had to buy another one for my road bike.

Expensive.

Overall:
A great saddle but I would recommend getting measured. I've completed lots of long rides with no soreness and as already mentioned I had to then buy another saddle for my road bike.

'DESIGN HAS PATTERNS FOR WOMEN, TITANIUM RAILS AT A GOOD PRIC'

Strengths:
Price is good for a race saddle is not over the £65 mark but is light weight. Extra padding at the rear of the saddle gives comfort and support in right places

Weaknesses:
Saddle needs a few rides to be broken in which takes time compared to other brands. Stitching around the gel pads has come loose on one side after around 200miles which is not to good, but there is glue to hold it in place under the stitching so it wont fall apart

Overall:
Love the titanium rails, makes the saddle light and strong, set a a price point below £60, therefore more justifable and reasonable purchase for someone training and racing. Waterproof material, so saddle can be used for XC. Its an alrounder

'PERFECT!'

Strengths:
Comfortable, light and looks absolutely fabulous.

Weaknesses:
Possibly price (but worth it).

Overall:
A great investment if you are thinking of buying a new saddle. My bike shop allowed me to try it and if I wasn't happy, swap it for a different one after a few rides....no way would I have any other saddle now.

'BETTER THAN A SOFA!'

Strengths:
Comfortable
Light
Looks professional.

Weaknesses:
Expensive

Overall:
Once you get the set up exactly right, this saddle is the best I have used. You end up sitting quite nicely on the softer parts of the saddle. The narrowness reduces rubbing, and the cut outs reduce pressure points. It took some time for me to get the set up exactly right, as the sear where your sit bones are supposed to sit is quite small.

Plus it looks good and weighs next to nothing.

'BEST I'VE USED'

Strengths:
Nice looking saddle that is comfortable.

Weaknesses:
Like most cycling equipment it's completely over-priced and the price probably bears little relation to the cost of manufacture.

Overall:
The best women's saddle that I've used to date. It really encourages you to lean forward and race. It's very good for road racing, climbing and time trials. I suspect it may be slightly too hard for a more upright style or for recreational riding though, so this is really one for faster riding.

'VERY COMFORTABLE - BUT GET THE RIGHT SIZE'

Strengths:
Comfortable, even over longer journeys. A woman's saddle, so shaped for us.

Weaknesses:
Price. You do need to make sure that you get the right size, or it won't be comfy.

Overall:
Specialized actually recommend that you get measured in a shop to find out the width of your sit bones, since the saddle sizing is determined by this. You may well be best doing this, because it isn't always easy to guess. If you do get the right size, then this is one comfy saddle. If you don't get the right size, then you are going to wonder why you spent the money...

While it appears very hard to the touch, your sit bones get the support they need. This allows you to sit comfortably. The front of the saddle has a big cutout which removes pressure from "sensitive areas". I found this a big step forward from the man's saddle that my bike came with.

'AHH, COMFORT AT LAST'

Strengths:
Weight, looks and comfort rating.

Weaknesses:
A little pricey if you like them - you'll want one on all of your bikes.

Overall:
After a long search for the holy grail of saddles, i've finally found it. No more having to deal with men's saddles or women's sofa-saddles.

The Jett gets top marks on the styling and weight front. The true test is of course comfort, and it passes with flying colours even though it appears to be quite hard and doesn't have much padding. I use a Jett on my road and mountain bikes with great comfort.

It sits happily on my race and training bikes. Just don't have too many bikes as it costs a fortune to upgrade all of them - trust me!

'COMFY, LIGHT & LOOKS GOOD'

Overall:
Despite being quite hard, with minimal padding, its very comfy and can be ridden for hours and hours without any problems.

Its very neat looking, so no worried about sofa's being attached to race bikes.

Have raced, trained and riden up big lumps in the Alps with it without any soreness.
