But, there's really not a lot to this saddle. It's just a thick plastic body with some smooth plastic fabric stretched over it. Not much cushion. It reminds me of a Brooks saddle. Just hard, smooth, continuous surface with some flex in the body.

Ventura makes another ASA seat. It's the same length but wider. I bought one but haven't used it yet.

I bought one of these Bell Dart saddles and went through the 2-week process of deadening my bum. It has seams and is starting to wear out. I bought the ASA MTB saddle for another bike. It feels similar to the Dart (not as long). I think it will last longer because it has no seams. I'm sure it would be uncomfortable if I hadn't already desensitized myself to the Dart.
