Mainly looking into the Pro or S-works with the thinner padding.
Has anyone tried and if so what do you think. Ive read a few reviews online but who can trust those anymore? They were all generally positive though. I do have a low position and a Selle Italia Flite carbon from the mid nineties that I love but I am interested in trying the Power to see if it allows all day drops riding. That is the one area my current saddle fails.
Any input at all is appreciated. :thumbup:

I have been riding the Pro version for about six weeks. I love it. It feels just like the Romin did, but without the nose. Great for those of us with larger legs that found the nose on the Romin too wide.

Good point, Ive found a lot of saddles too wide especially the Speci I tried in the past.

one week - and i will keep it. The best saddle when you are in "break away" position - sitting on nose is comfort and stiff sadle gives you good feeling. For easy ride it is little uncomfy

Great saddle for TT bikes too i think ( i have Sitero Pro on TT)

This, Pro (Carbon shell Ti rail) on the everyday bike and the Comp (Cromo rail with composite shell) on the SL4 Kickr/crit bike. Set the front 3 inches level and love it (rails about 1º down)

Is that because the shell has no give? and is the Sitero more comfy? I ask because my carbon shell Flite Evolution is very comfortable and Ive been trying to find a replacement for 5 years now. One thing Ive found with all the brands Ive tried is a lack of give in the shell. I am hoping someone gets it right.
Thanks for the feedback on the saddle. I know I am going to have to try one but it sounds like its a must try in my circumstance. Just waiting for a good deal on a Pro at this point. Anybody have one for sale?

I've not tried the Power but the Sitero is pretty firm with quite a beefy shell! Very comfortable for me, ideal for the trainer as it keeps your weight on the sit bones and lets your chamois do it's job. I might want a more hybrid shape for longer road rides though - hence keen to try the Power.

The trainer is the only time a cutaway saddle is bearable for me. On the road i cant stand them but...I am getting old.
Just gotta track one down.
