PRO

I bought the 132mm width version over 2 yrs ago of this and figured I have enough use on it now to offer my thoughts. Initially I loved it. It's shape is similar to a couple other popular saddles and I had never owned PRO saddles prior.....so decided to give er a try as dimensions looked good for me. I'm 180lbs, just over 6' tall and ride pretty competitively. The saddle has a descent amount of rail length for adjustment, is lightweight, and the shell has a bit of give in the center area which I like. The contour on the rear and the narrower mid-section (Compared to some 143mm saddles) doesn't cause pain or leg numbness like I've experienced with other saddles in that 135-142mm range. So I love the shape and overall design.

Where I dock some points on this saddle is how the shell attaches to the rails. After about 3-4 mths use, I started noticing this a rattle sound would occur when I stood up on the bike. The rattling/vibrating is coming from the shell rattling on the rails. Particularly in the nose area. You can also notice it by tapping the top of saddle. It's not much movement, but it's irritating when riding in a group or with someone and your standing up climbing and saddle is making noises. I've also owned a couple Stealth Curved saddles and every one of those saddles also has similar issues. I may try to resolve it on my own but either way, it shouldn't be occurring IMO. Otherwise, it's a nice performance saddle that fits me well and can ride for several hrs.

#1: I hate changing seat posts, with fore/aft, height and tilt adjustments it is always a game of 'close enough'. I thought that I had the answer with Fizik Cyrano, 1 bolts, easy adjustment'but seems to be no longer available.

While generally not a fan of Shimano products, this Seatpost is very good. I like the setback distance that gives a bit of compliance. But, ease of adjustment is where this shines. Instead of vertical bolts that have to se use and position saddle, Vibe uses a side bolt that makes it super easy to adjust angles, distances and secure. Nicely done!

This saddle works for me. I have three of them for three different bikes in the 152 width. It took me a while to figure out I needed a wider saddle but once I did it made all my rides more comfortable. I stopped noticing my saddle, and stopped feeling any discomfort, especially on longer rides. I'm very happy this saddle is offered in a wider size. The shape of the saddle is good for all types of bikes. I have used it on a road bike, cross bike and mountain bike and it just works well for me. Only down side is price. It can be expensive to buy multiples of this saddle. Eventually I did spend the money (over $350) to have this saddle on all my bikes. Worth it to not have to move saddles around from bike to bike.

Been swapping between my two 700c road bikes for the last year. Saw some mixed reviews, so I thought I'd share a success story. Would buy again, if it ever gives up the ghost.
