Anyone try New Terry Saddle Falcon X?

[Robbin_G]

I'm anxiously awaiting a road review of this saddle. I can't seem to find it locally so I don't want to waste a mail order run.

I currently have a Selle San Marco Atena but I'm interested in trying one of these split saddles.

I'm curious about this one too. My issue is that the butterfly was too wide thru the nose, and the fly was much better, but the cut out on the men's wasn't lined up right with my bits.

I finally go to ride outside on my Falcon, love it!!!! The cut out is just right not as much cushion as my Velo but I didn't find it uncomfortable. ONly thing I did seem to have happen is that the nose kept grabbing my shorts when I got on the saddle which is weird b/c it is just a little shorter than my Velo which I don't remember it doing that.

I rode 33.5 miles Sat. and had minimal discomfort, mainly my butt just isn't used to that long of a ride yet

I think tho I may have to change to my velo for centuries! to keep the cheeks happy

Great news! Give it a few rides. After one ride with my Selle SMP I was sure my hiney was going to be very unhappy even though the girly bits were great. But after a couple more rides, everything was good. I still have some tushie soreness, but only on long rides, which I'm not doing every week, so I know I just need to keep toughening up that part.

Yes, that's it, but mine is the cheaper, TRK Lady model, which they don't seem to have on their site. I got mine off ebay at masherz.com's store, and Bikemania.biz carries it, as well. Boulderbliss got hers from a UK seller for a great price, but I'm not sure who.

I did the Tri-county Hill Hopper with this saddle. The cut out really does it's job. I had no pain in the soft bits. The back does have a bit less padding for the sit bones than I'd like but that wasn't the problem for me.

However, the saddle nearly made me cry near the end of the 30 mile ride. Instead of having pressure on the soft bits in the center, I had more pressure on the outer area where the cutout hole ends and the sides of the cutout begin. It musta been pushing up on my nerves in that area. I don't know if I was "falling into" the cutout or what that put so much pressure on the insides of my pelvis. Hard to explain! After that ride I was so sore I took a few days off which turned into a few weeks

I haven't had time to play with it much since then. I've put my old butterfly back on for the long rides, eventhough it gives me some discomfort in the center I don't get the raw pain I had with the Falcon.

I Haven't given up on trying to dial it in. The first 15 miles were glorious, just hasn't worked for me so far.

And yes.... saddles are totally my compulsion. Nothing is too good for my bum!
