Specialized toupe

Just wondering has anyone ridden a specialized toupe on a tri bike? I know there are some tri specific saddles, but wondering if this seat will be comfortable while riding with aero bars? thanks

i'd think you'd want something with a bit more padding on the nose. The toupe is a great road saddle, but if you are fit correctly on the tri bike, your weight will be much further forward on the saddle. Specialized and most other seat mfg'ers will make tri-specific saddles that should be much more comfy.
