While it's a heavy seat, I'm sure it does make the ride like butter. My friend had to order one 7 days into his cross country bike trip and said it was the best investment he made on or before that trip.

It's important to remember that weight isn't always the enemy, there's a reason I haven't seen anybody discussing why their 13 lb 4oz road bike is the best commuter ever.

Weight = Cheap OR Weight = Durability.

Finally a quote from one of my friends:

"Weight makes you stronger, quit *****ing. You're only getting stronger"
