I bought this saddle about a year ago to replace the stock Bontrager saddle on my Pilot. I've found this saddle to be comfortable on long rides (in combination with a good pair of shorts). I used it to complete my first double century, the STP. I love the flat platform that it provides both in front and in back. The nose is a little wider than in other saddles, but I think it makes it more versatile for shifting positions, fore and aft, to relieve pressure when you're in the saddle for a long time.
