Grease_Monkey Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Also got the power saddle on loan today, immediately felt the difference coming from a Fizik AlianteI rode a power comp for two test rides and loved it - coming from a Spez Henge. I decided to buy a pro because it has slightly less padding which I have generally found more comfortable. But since I got my saddle it's been raining cats and dogs so haven't been able to teest it out yet! Can't wait!! The one thing I did see from my test rides on the comp is that I will be using the dropper post alot more - I find the wideness of the saddle means that it is harder to get my weight over the back of the bike with the seatpost in the up position.

Have only been riding a handful of times at places where a dropper would have been a necessity and nice to have. Edited January 8, 2017 by BSG

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) pretty much SLX ito quality, but it's their bottom of the range 11 speed stuff. Heirarchy is XX1/X01/X1/GX/NX Where XX1 is above XTR, and X01 is equal to XTR. But it's a bit fuzzy, cos there's hardly any difference in quality. Just the weight.
