Less comfortable than a railed saddle; more fragile; look utter garbage.
B*llocks; B*llocks; a matter of personal preference.
I’ve been using them for a few years now, and have always got on well with them.
The newer generations have flex built into the beam (some saddles use some kind of honeycomb design in the plastic, which supposedly offers a bit more give)
I have bent rails on a fair few saddles, but have NEVER broken an I Beam saddle or post.
I quite like the way they look- have had a few different I beam saddles. Always really liked the Duster- found it felt very similar to the old FX Saddles, which I really got on with, but is a lot lower profile.
Currently got a really old Bel Air I beam in brown on my hardtail, which I think looks the nuts 🙂
