They are described as cheap, high-quality, 3D printed TPU saddles available on AliExpress. The reviewer uses them in their clinic and states they are as good as, or better than, top-of-the-range specialized saddles.

They note its 3D printed upper with honeycomb construction, full carbon fiber base, and carbon rails, which contribute to its lightweight and smart appearance.

Regarding longevity, I have a Ryet Ultimate with 3D printed padding in use since end of 2024. It has about 8000 km of mileage. It's holding up well so far, it also survived a minor crash. I have the EVA padded Ultimate on another bike since last year with 2000 km or so of mileage. It's holding up well, too. So personally I can't complain!
I've had the RYET Air Code with the carbon base for 8 months now, for me it's the most comfortable saddle I've ever had. I love it. after 8 months it is a bit dusty inside the holes, I need to give it a spray or something.
I have the Ryet Aircode 3D printed saddle, full carbone one, and I kind of like it. I would like to try some 155 mm wide 3D printed saddle. Any advices?
