The first review is of the non-Max version of the saddle, but that's good to read. I still suspect it's too wedge/pear-shaped, though. And the 2nd one is described as having super soft padding--no way. It looks similar to the Serfas Rx saddle that I had years ago...that thing was torturous. My MIL loves it, BUT she sits VERY upright. She has a custom Seven that is essentially set up with geometry about comparable to a cruiser. VERY tall head tube and short top tube. Frankenbike, heh.
