I like the front a lot but I don't like the back. Doesn't appear to have enough sit bone coverage. but the front looks like they are on to someting.

I have never seen these before.

I just got the racing saddle in the mail. I'll let you know what I think.

Hi

ISM saddles just come out in France, I use the Road. I find it v comfortable compared to traditional saddles, it does make you use your leg muscles in a different way, all the weight is basically positioned on your bum, so it works your legs! On the plus side you don't get the same discomfort/ numbness.

Its not cheap (89 Euros i think, don't know what it is in $), so if our discomfort is marginal, not sure if all people would go for it - but I am happy with it.

Anyway, hope that helps

The nose of a saddle serves a purpose in steering and control. I'd be leery of a saddle without a normal-length nose. It may also put too much weight on your arms, leading to hand, arm, or shoulder discomfort.

Bump.

Joe Friel talks about this saddle in his blog this week. He has one and really likes it. He wants to hear from women who have one.

I just bought one last week. I'll let ya'll know what I think...
I'm just dreading doing the swap out and re-fit thing, so it may take a few days..

Did you get the racing or road saddle?

Joe said he had to make a number of adjustments before he got it right but then it felt great.

road. Even at cost the racing was a bit steep. I figured I'd try the road first, and if the concept works I'll consider the racing.

A lot of triathletes swear by them. I've never tried them, myself.

My LBS sells them and says they have never had one returned. That being said, reviews are good and bad. The worst part is the wide nose causes chafing. I looked at it and it seems kinda scary. Too short and wide for me.
