I have the Selle Strike Pro on my racing bike. It is very much a racing saddle. If you ride hard and like your bars low, you'll like it. If you have your bars approximately level with your seat or a bit lower, and do long, slower rides, odds are that you'll hate it. I can just tolerate it for 12-hour ultra events. It's still better than any other racing saddle I tried - no numbness issues - but it's hard on the sit bones. For touring, I'll take my Brooks Team Professional.
