Saving for the next one...
Every time I look at this saddle I hear Eric Cartman on South Park yelling "Ow! My a$$!!!"![]()
- Gray 2010 carbon WSD road bike, Rivet Independence saddle
- Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
- Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle
Gone but not forgotten:
- Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
- Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles
That makes me pinch my cheeks together just looking at it.
Oh, that's gonna bruise...![]()

I don't know...I think it looks interesting. I ended up selling my tri bike because I couldn't find a saddle that would work for me. That rotated forward position was pure hell. While I can't see how that saddle could possibly work on a road bike or on any bike where you might be more upright (with weight on the sit bones), it may have merit in an aero position. When rotated foward in aero, your weight isn't on your sit bones and so much more is taken on the elbows that it may work.
If I still had my tri bike, I would have been willing to try it. I tried everything else! ;-)

I did, but not on the road. I tried two different versions at my fitter (but I don't recall which ones, exactly) but the noses were too wide for me so I didn't ride them but for a few minutes.
My issue was multi-faceted, but I needed a wide channel for the girly bits/soft tissue, but a narrow nose because my hips are narrow while my legs are large. The wider noses of most cut-out saddles rubbed my leg crease or inner thighs raw. The narrow noses either didn't have a cut out (pure, instant pain in aero) or they did, but with use, actually pinched my soft tissue!
At the time, I was much heavier than I am now though, so my legs were significantly larger. I might be able to stand a wider nose now that I'm smaller (too bad I no longer have a tri bike!).
