From the other two reviews this sounds like a great seat but not in my experience. It might be because I am a skinny rider and need a slightly wider seat then this one, but after 25 mi. I'm usually trying to shift around every once in a while to regain feeling.

Saddles, as they say, are purely personal, what works for one does not work for others, and sadly, it's about a trial and error process. I tried so many saddles, Fizik, Specialized, Selle SMP before the Tri Stryke. This is the best I've found. It's comfortable and gives you a lot of options of places to ride up and down the nose. The gel is just about right, and the vents allow cooling airflow without being too gimicky. I had a lot of numbness issues before this saddle, even on the SMP (which was great for road biking but not in the tri position). This solved it for me, even over a 70.3 distance.

My wife bought the Cro-Moly Version, and I bought the Ti Version. My wife (155#) and I (220#) both compete in the Clydesdale/Athena Classes, and we both agree that this seat is the most comfortable seat when in the Aero position. When sitting up, just sliding back a little puts the sitz bones right on the wing cushion. I wouldn't want to ride 50 miles on the back of the seat, but after a 50 miler using the Aerobars, I didn't have any of the 'tender tissue' problems I've had with other seats.

Since we are both 'larger' riders, this seat may not be as comfortable for smaller riders, but for us, this seat has made the longer training rides much more enjoyable.
