What a bargain! Got this saddle for near 14€. 114gr on my scale, and with the shape of the Romin Evo, it's a no brainer for me! Really comfortable and light!
I just found this on AliExpress:
46,30€ | ELITAONE Bicycle Saddle Carbon MTB/Road Bike 270x143mm Super Saddles Light Leather 115g

The reviewer discusses the ELITAONE saddle as the fourth item in their comparison. They note it has a short-nose geometry with a pressure relief channel, which they found comfortable. However, they heavily criticize its construction quality, citing sharp burrs on the channel, a lack of markings on the rails, and significant flex in both the top plate and rails. They express doubt that the bottom plate is genuine carbon fiber, suspecting it is molded plastic. They conclude it is a disappointment, especially given its price is similar to a much better saddle (the 'mixed' model).
