Nice saddle but too hard for me.
I was looking for a saddle to allow longer pain-free cycling in the sensitive areas but this saddle again gave more problems with my rather sharp sit bones....
Pros & Cons

Well-designed shape, but lacks comfort
Good saddle for hard riding, but very uncomfortable for touring.

Fine cutout but sensitive for seat bones
With the decision aid a number of saddles remained and since this saddle has the most reviews I chose this saddle. Because of the recess I immediately had no more dead feeling. Only the sit bones did hurt a lot after the first lap. After cycling a total of 400km I still couldn't get used to it and with Mantel's convenient 30-day trial, the saddle could be returned.

Seems comfortable, but hard edges throw a spanner in the works
I'm sure the saddle will be fine, but not for me. My sit bones are 124mm apart. These became sore after 20km. So despite the large recess and lots of padding, I found the saddle uncomfortable. Mantel's 30-day service is therefore really great. I can now try another saddle.

Comfortable but smooth saddle.
Great saddle for long rides. However the saddle is very slippery which makes you slide back and forth (too) easily.

Good, unfortunately not so well suited for my ergonomics.
Actually nice saddle, a little heavy. For my ergonomics unfortunately not so good fit.

Good, but not for me
A fine saddle, especially with the large cutout, which I really like. The saddle is short and slopes slightly, which makes it suitable for sitting in the stirrups. However, I also found it quite hard and wide sloping and it gave me trouble with my sit bones. Not quite for me.
