Thanks, it's really better than I could imagine. It feels kinda like my SLR, but I can feel where he made some tweaks to work with his design to make it ride even better. It basically only has support in the middle of the saddle. So there is little to no flex there. The sides however flex nicely, and it makes for a really great ride. However I did hit one big bump while seated, and I could feel it a bit more than I would of liked to. I wish I would of seen that one coming for sure. It wasn't much harsher than a regular saddle, but it was a bit worse. The flex of the rails kinda help there I think. As long as you can make sure you get up out of the saddle for those, it's awesome. It literally feels like the shape was molded just for me. I like the shape better than my SLR, but the flex in the middle helps with those big bumps.
