Any opinions from owners? I want a minimal carbon saddle that has a cutout. This saddle looks like one of the better options. They have some interesting marketing speak about flexing to allow a greater range of motion and making the contact areas softer. One thing I like about the carbon saddle that I have now is that it is not flexy.

I just noticed the link points to the generic products page. Here is one on eBay.

Does anyone have experience with this saddle, or have a recommendation for something similar? I'm looking for minimal padding with cutout, carbon shell, rails need not be carbon and I actually kinda prefer metal so I don't have to worry about crushing them.

Looks cool, interesting, but personally wouldn't work for me. I'd be concerned with chaffing, my Toupe and San Marco are both 130mm saddles, that one is listed as wider at 140mm.

Both of my saddles have some spring to them, ideally that's part of comfort... you'd want that for a sort of suspension effect I imagine... That 's effectively your cushioning system.

Since a little flex isn't your style, I'm thinking that carbon saddle isn't for you, try one of these:
