This thing just puts your weight where it SHOULD BE - on those bony bits, not the sweet meats.
I know that saddles are a very personal thing but...I don't know how anyone can ride on the Specialized stuff! I've had 2 of them, the latest one one of their minimally padded models that comes on the Stumpjumper FSR Expert and both of them numbed the old Wallys within half an hour of riding. They just directed the saddle material up into the veins that they are supposed to protect and worked as effectively as a tourniquet.
