Let me start by saying, this saddle is a head-turner. The moment I unboxed the Samassi 3D Printed Saddle, its futuristic honeycomb design had me staring like my 8-year-old nephew at a candy store. The full carbon fiber construction makes it ridiculously light - like holding a feather that somehow costs $200.
The installation was smoother than my post-ride protein shake. Fits standard rails (7x9mm), though you'll need adapter bolts if your bike has 7x7mm rails like mine did. Pro tip: check your clamp before ordering!
Now, the comfort debate. For my medium-distance rides (20-50km), it's surprisingly good - no numb bum syndrome here. The 3D-printed zones provide clever pressure distribution that had me forgetting I was sitting on what looks like alien technology. But fair warning: if you're used to plush sofas-for-buttocks, this might feel like switching from memory foam to a high-tech hammock.
The breathability? Chef's kiss! That leaf-inspired ventilation works better than my expensive cycling shorts at keeping things dry. Did a gravel grind in humid weather and came back with less swamp-ass than usual.
Durability seems solid after two months of abuse - no cracks or warping despite some accidental curb jumps. Though at this price point, I'd expect nothing less from carbon fiber.
Final verdict? If you want a lightweight, conversation-starting saddle that performs well for moderate distances, this is your jam. Just don't expect cloud-like comfort for century rides - sometimes looking 'sick' comes with trade-offs!
