I've never seen this particular saddle, but I've seen nose-less saddles discussed in other forums. The general opinion is that they might be fine for very simple cruising but that not having a nose makes it difficult to do any more technical or aggressive riding. You use the nose when you shift your weight around fast turns or when going downhill. Without it you lose that level of control.

I tried one similar, and it was an absolute disaster.
I had no control over the bike, and nearly crashed several times.
(a long nose is crucial to my riding style, it's how I steer the bike!)
