wow, new B68 with cutout Imperial

[OakLeaf]

That's just what I wonder about those, too. It looks like on me it would cut or dig in. Ow.

no pinching issues. remember the saddle itself is pretty stiff. there's no way anything could get pinched it really just gives you a tiny bit more space there.

I guess if you weren't wearing anything from the waist down it might pinch, but being surrounded by tight clothing & or chamois, there's no way this can pinch.

Good point

Have you experienced any numbness along the sides? With the SI Diva Gel Flow my girly bits were very happy for the most part, bit the presence of the cutout put all of the pressure on the "sides" which caused some pretty strong numbness after the ride. I am going to try the SI Lady Gel Flow which is said to be different from the Diva Gel Flow.... but your picture got me to thinking about one of the Brooks Imperials.

I have a motorcycle saddle that has rather square corners and it definitely cuts into me (in this case, in the upper rear of my thighs, but it's the concept, not the particular location, I'm going for). Really hard and painfully after more than a couple of hours - gotta replace that thing.

Between me and the saddle, I wear compression shorts under motorcycling pants.

no numbness. Like my other brooks, it disappears beneath me but when there are bumps it is less punishing and it is still not broken in yet (no sit bone dents yet)

i got a b68 imperial from http://www.wallbike.com/ and am trying it out. the cutout test on a hard surface always indicates i need one but i'm not sure if i do need one with a brooks.
