Honestly, it's too early to tell for a ride of any real distance. I actually have a PD Tri Stryke in the box waiting on standby. For the short distances I've ridden it so far, the stock saddle (a Selle San Marco Island Trilon, try saying that 10 times quickly!) has been fine. I feel like it will be good to go for a Sprint. I tend to be pretty tough as far as saddles go, and even prefer the Bontrager Race lite lux for my roadie, which many consider uncomfortable. My last tri saddle was the Forte T1, which I can currently recommend. I will race on this Trilon in two weeks and give you an update after that. Let's just say I would love for it to work out, but I'm not returning the Tri Stryke just yet.
