I switched from a toupe that I broke two times to the new Bontrager paradigm it's similar to the Toupe although for me more comfortable and I hope stronger.
Thanks

Just got the new 2013 Toupe- awesome! Fixed everything that was wrong with the old one.
Now has a full carbon base that doesn't flex, bigger channel, redesigned nose that is both wider and has a channel almost to the tip, they fixed the way the rear flares so it doesn't hit your hamstrings, it has a grippier cover, and finally doesn't have those terrible plastic bits on the rear.
Oh, and weighed in at 5 grams under for the pro version with carbon rails.

Good news on the terrible plastic bits is they were easy to remove, leaving you with a lot lighter saddle.
The new Toupe Pro is listed at 165g in the same size as the saddle pictured above. So in fixing all the other problems they added 30+ grams...

Hey all,
I forgot to mention that I created this thread (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=114962) and your input would really help this project that could help us figure out "if I like Saddle X, will I like Saddle Y?" in the future.
Thanks in advance!

Selle Italia SLR Flow on 2 road bikes. Like it better than the Fizik Antares VS that I was using previously.

Wait the S-Works with the cut out gives you numbness over 40 miles?
Looks like I made a new 90 Proof friend

Don't worry, I interpreted it the same way you did.
