Reviews & Ratings
The reviewer discusses a saddle from a company called Riot (likely a mispronunciation or typo of RYET) purchased from AliExpress. They compare it to their previous no-name carbon saddle, highlighting improvements in comfort and design. The new saddle features carbon rails, a forged carbon look, slight padding, and a prominent pressure relief channel. They note it's slightly heavier (112g vs 110g) but maintains good weight characteristics. The reviewer has tested it extensively on rough Mexican mountain roads over 1,500km and found it significantly improved comfort on long rides.

I have this saddle in 135mm with EVA pad. It is very good if you prefer narrow near flat saddles (the pelvic support here is quite small). Very similar perfomance to my PRO Falcon, only wish it to be not short nosed.
