I can't fathom how this saddle would be comfortable

[Wahine]

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! ;-)

GLC, out of curiosity, did you happen to try any of the Selle SMP saddles? If you did can you give me some feedback on your experience?

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!).
