Has anyone tried these? I see the weight is pretty good but do the bottles stay in? Also does it accept standard bottles?
I have a credit for a token seat I returned so I need to find something Token ;) Already have the BB & it seems to run fine.
Thanks for any info

What model are you refering to. I use the TK 947. They are light at 16g but certain bottles fall out uasy on rough roads.

I have been using these without any problems. I use Polar bottles and they stay seated quite snugly.

They work good for me. Work best with specialized bottels. What was the seat you got from him been looking at the token seats as a cheaper alternative.

The saddle I had was this one

It is the Success V1 Kevlar
Nice saddle & not too heavy but was just wrong for me.
Thanks

I am not sure. I think I will have to buy to try a few. Then sell the non keepers. I have a Arione coming. Not the lightest saddle but I have heard so many compliment them I wanted to try it.
I also would like to try a SLR but wonder if they are really for 3-4 hour rides?
Thanks

I wondered the same before buying my SLR XP but I've found it fine for 3-4 hour rides on the roads around here which are not very smooth in places.

(e)Xtra Padding I do believe. I was a bit disappointed that mine weighed 179g but its lighter than my previous saddle 8)
