******* okes are high or something

Well, that is ugly and overpriced. But then again, almost everything with that stupid "s" on it is.

[Kalahari Vegmot]

Well consider what some of their bikes cost...https://www.specialized.com/za/en/shop/bikes/turbo-e-bikes/e-mountain-bikes/turbo-levo/c/eturbolevo?q=%3Aprice-desc%3Aarchived%3Afalse%3AproductFamily%3ATurbo+Levo+SL

 

All of a sudden 9.5K for a saddle ain't that bad...

Specialized bros will be sad at what type of mirror comes in the box.

S-Works Power With Mirror ?????

 

I don't need this.

 

I have twice in the last year seen my @rse sommer without a mirror

somebody copied their grannies crochet work

[RocknRolla]

I cant see myself spending that on a saddle.

[IceCreamMan]

Pity it does not come in white, i would have one for each of my bikes.

[Wayne pudding Mol]

I wouldn't spend that because I have found the perfect saddle and couldn't afford that price

 

But 18 months ago I probably would have spent that in an effort to get comfortable and I would have paid R59 a ride for comfort (156 rides last year)

 

In the current financial climate I'd rather just have a sore @rse

Is the mirror included to see how small your member is??[emoji85][emoji3]

Saddles are such a weirdly thought of contact point.

 

Guys will comfortably spend thousands on shoes, pedals, grips, special damping handlebars, Assos bib shorts etc but feel ripped off when asked to spend money on a saddle.

 

Now while I get R9500 is a heck of a lot, but it is one of the most important contact points if you spend hours upon hours on the bike.

 

I would rather have the most comfortable saddle I can afford and SLX components than XTR and a sore butt.

 

The poor old saddle. Underappreciated by so many...

Funny this sort of thing much like a bed you sleep on for 10 years every single night, you'd just want the best you could afford but people don't like to cough up

You sound like you've never had a proper bike setup.

[gummibear]

A saddle and wheels cost more than majority spend on bikes[emoji85]
