Anyone tried this saddle? It looks interesting to me, and I've seen reviews mentioning that it's nice off road too. Only problem is, it's quite expensive...

I just got it a few months ago. I really like it. I tried the low end one first but found the density rather soft so I got the carbon one with a harder density.

I went ahead and bought it (S-Works version). It's on my cross bike at the moment. So far I really like it :)

Started out on the 168 mm Expert model, but found it to be just a little too wide. Switched to a 155 mm and it's a better match for my backside. The short-nose design is extremely comfortable if you have a lot of bar/saddle drop.

Big ups to the Power saddle, I ran one for 6 months until I had a big crash and broke my collarbone and the saddle ! I ran the 143mm Sworks saddle, best seat I have owned. Have returned to S-Works Romin but it's nowhere near as comfortable as the power.

I tried a Romin, and it was one of the most uncomfortable saddles that I've ever ridden. Tried all kinds of adjustments, but ultimately went back to the Power.

I raced the saddle yesterday (CX). I'm liking it more and more. I'm going to try it on the mountain bike as well at some point.
