Anyone use a - Specialized TOUPE TEAM SADDLE

[Nicensleazy]

Anyone own one of these saddles? If so, whats your thoughts on it. Comfort, performance etc. Cheers

I'm assuming it's the same as the regular non-gel Toupe just in team colours. If so get one. It's most comfortable saddle I've ever used. If I could afford it I'd have one on all my bikes.

PS: Make sure you get your bum measured first and get the right width.

+1 to the above. Best I've tried.

Posted this on another thread the other day:

I have just got a Specialized Toupe.

To be honest the looks of it kind of had me wondering, it is sort of minimalist.
So far have done about 80 miles on it. Too soon to be sure but the second 40 included about 20 miles of a not to smooth cycle path at relatively slow speeds.

My under-carriage has no complaints so far. So I am hoping it's the right choice.

Not been out since though.

Yeah I ahve one, pretty comfortable and light. I have found that my backside gets a bit uncomfortable after a while, but I think thats mainly due to the fact Ive been off the bike for a month and a half.

+ probably one of the lightest saddles on the market, apart from an all carbon undercarriage crusher

like sitting on a sofa.

Excellent saddle. Best I have ever had.

Very good apparently - you should try a Flite Titanium.....

 

[BentMikey]

I have one, love it. I love how non-cyclist friends suck their teeth and wince when they see the saddle though. If only they knew how comfy it was!

 

[Nicensleazy]

Just ordered it, can't wait.......just a shame my Fizik didn't work for me as its a lovely saddle!

Be prepared to play around with the angle (it's amazing the difference a degree or two can make). It can be a bit uncomfortable if you get it wrong, but once you find the sweet spot you'll never want for anything more comfortable.

Ah, the sweet spot, I like that!
