Thanks! I came from an S-Works Power Mirror Saddle and it's surprisingly more comfortable.

What's your opinion on SL7 vs SL8 since you've ridden the SL7 for a longer period time.
I know the frame weight was around 50g lighter but probably can't feel that.

I'm not doing a triathlon, but we have stage races which include short time trials. I just want to share a little project. I already sold my S-Works Shiv TT Disc. Now, I’m left with a Yonex climbing bike and an all rounder SL8. Hands down the SL8 is faster on the flats, but It’s impossible to fit clip-on aerobars on a Roval Rapide Cockpit. I gambled and bought a Syncros Creston/Controltech full carbon stem mount clip-ons. As expected the stock clamps are too narrow for the wide Rapide stem. I had to fabricate a custom clamp by CNC. I’m very happy with the outcome. The whole system only weighs 294g.
That's a winning product right there

I'm on that exact saddle at the moment, what are the specific benefits for you with this Bjorn compared to the Power Mirror?

I have also just moved all my saddles from either Sworks power or power mirror to Bjorn.
I found the Powers just too wide and I got saddle sores. I just find the Bjorns work for me. I know a lot of people who like them too
