Only put 20 miles on it so far, but this saddle is an AMAZING value for the price. I've ridden Specialized Power, Specialized Romin, and Pro Stealth. Tried this Selle Italia when it came stock on a bike, and figured i'd be swapping it for the Pro Stealth and saving 100g+ in the process. The problem is that the Selle Italia is SO comfortable. The sides flex, there's a bit of padding and when I rode it back to back with the Pro, this was just cushier. For the price, it's definitely worth trying out. Will update the review when I have some longer rides completed, but this seems to be an amazing price/performance/comfort option.
Price was great, cutout is in the sweetspot, and Sella Italia knows how to make a great saddle. A little extra padding for my 50 year old butt is nice and the flexibility built into the design allows for efficient pedaling. I sit way back and this is perfect for that.
I have only ridden it a few times and really felt the difference from the stock saddle from my gravel bike. You could tell there's flex in it when you hit a bump and it doesn't hurt your bum. Can't wait to ride longer and enjoy it.
I really like the shape and it's great for shorter rides (1-2 hours). On longer rides the lack of padding is noticeable, so I wouldn't buy it for all-day endurance rides. Overall I like the Specialized Power more, but this is a really great price so I don't regret the purchase at all.
