Gah...I have to give up on this saddle...and I hate to do it. But after 3 rides and a total of ~75 miles it's obvious that my left side and the saddle are never going to learn to play nice. The frustrating part is that my right side and sit bones LOVED this thing. The cushion (like a hybrid of the Jett and Ruby 143) and footprint are perfect. And those Fizik flex wings really accommodated the range of motion of my inner and rear thighs perfectly.
But I fully blame the issues I had on my anatomy. I list over to the left just slightly on every saddle I've ever sat on. I notice that most people I ride behind sit maybe a half cm. to one side over the other, so it's just part of being asymmetrical Humans.
What I loved about this saddle is the complete elimination of pinching and pressure up front...but I traded those issues for rubbing (I believe my labia majora ended up pressed against the left side of the channel, which in turn made the larger labia rub against the labia minora with every pedal stroke).
I really think a woman who doesn't find herself shifted to one side or the other would love this saddle. Were I not "crooked" I think this would have been my perfect saddle.
If anyone would like to try it, I will ship it to you for $100, including shipping.
