Anyone try New Terry Saddle Falcon X?

Has anyone tried the Falcon X saddle from Terry?

I'm a bit of a Terry fan. I've tried their liberator Gel, didn't like the gel, so I've been using the Butterfly now and I'm fairly happy with it, but it isn't "quite there" for long rides. My soft bits just get sore after awhile, and the drops just make it worse. I just tried the Fizik Airone, and it was hugely painful down the center (too narrow I think?). A real dissapointment because I found a white and silver one that looked stunning with my bike's silver and white paint job. I soo wanted this to be the one after the good reviews I read.

I was looking at the Selle SMP Strike, but I'm not quite sure I'm ready to go that different yet...that and omg it must be huge at almost 400g! THe man above has given me wide thighs from birth and I always seem to rub badly on bulky saddles.

THe Falcon X seemed to take some of the idea from the Strike (bigger channel and perch, slighly down nose) and I was wondering if anyone has given this a try.

I was thinking of going with this or the Zero. Any suggestions welcome! I really hope I can find something that doesn't leave me too raw after 40+ miles. The quest continues!

Haven't tried it, but it looks to be worth a try!! Let us know what you think!

Haven't tried it either, but it's nice to see Terry is making a saddle with a bigger cutout. Should help a lot.

I put it on the trainer tonight. Roughly the same width and overall look off the butterfly, little bit slimmer overall and the cutout is a bit further back and wider.

On the trainer the soft areas don't feel much pressure at all! My sit bones feel more though. Could be that there seems to be a bit less padding in the back. I'll see tomorrow if my bones accept it on the road or not. I might have to dial it in a bit, but it seems promising!

The neat/weird/scary thing is the rails!! They are a combo carbon/steel alloy thing and they look like they will break easily. The whole saddle flexes under the weight (the rails bend under hand pressure). I'm hoping that this will give a smoother ride and won't leave me biking home standing up!!

Sounds promising! Definitely keep us posted - I am always looking for a new saddle to try. Even though the one I have now is comfortable (Specialized Avatar 155), I keep thinking there's one out there that might be even more comfortable!

I laughed when I read this. My current saddle is pretty comfy too but Im always thinking the same as you, there could be one out there even better - much to the horror of my husband.
