I can't believe this thing ever made it off a white-board but here it is and probikekit in England is hawking them. I mean... who is this going to appeal to? It's stunning....ly unpleasant looking.

I give to you... (drum roll) the ultimate ass-hatchet, the Essax Shark!

It's sure to leave a racing stripe on the whitey-tighties.

That's awesome. I'd suggest you and @jsigone purchase them and then use them for 30 days and give us a full review.

I guess all those years of "anatomical cutouts" are just a bunch of bologna!

I think I will stick to my normal saddles. They don't seem to cause me any problems

I may need a saddle soon I like my Kurve that will 90% explode within the first yr anyways. Fizik has replaced the carbon shell w/ a fancyt Kevlar woven shell due to all the RMA of carbon explosion. It won't be replaced with the ass shark version above though.

I'm liking that saddle. When my current Arione is finally done I may look into that. Right now you'd have to pry the Arione out of my dead hands to get it.
