Reviews & Ratings

The reviewer discusses a saddle they refer to as the 'San Marco Speed or Espite', which is likely a mispronunciation or misreading of the 'San Marco Aspide'. They analyze it as the second saddle in their comparison of five carbon saddles from AliExpress. They note it has proper branding, which gives them more confidence. The build quality is described as having the seat material glued onto the saddle rim, similar to the first, cheaper saddle, which could be a long-term issue. However, it makes no cracking noises and is described as a lot stiffer in all directions than the first saddle, inspiring more confidence. The comfort is described as pretty similar to the first saddle, being a long-nose design, which the reviewer personally prefers less than short-nose saddles. It has a pressure relief channel. The weight is 118g, and the price was about $25 USD. The reviewer gives it a rating of 2.5 out of 5.
