    Summary:
    This review is actually for the gel - flow Flite 08.
    I have been pleasantly surprised with this saddle. It is firm but flexes significantly to give a very supple ride. I don't like flat edged saddles which dig into your inner thighs, & this saddle fits the bill nicely. Much less pressure on the perineum than with my old Arione. Looking 'round at the races the other day, it would appear this saddle has become a bit of a favourite in Australia.

    Strengths:
    Light, great shape, firm but flexes so is supple.

    Weaknesses:
    Rails are oval in shape. This means it will NOT fit any of the side clamp posts eg specialized & Bontrager. Selle Italia actually claim that these seatposts cause premature rail breakage.
