Not for SCOTT foil 2018 road bike.
Awesome look, 3k carbon finish on top and I was happy to see UD (unidirectional) carbon on the bottom, that makes it very strong even "if speedy construction" as I see on this one. I work with Carbon fiber for hobby since 2014, I build skydiving helmet, and many other things and parts. The problem I encounter with this particular product is: the two parallel carbon pipes under the sit ARE NOT rounded, they are more oval-shaped like, and very poor construed, they can still be strong but I will suggest, if they are using prepeg carbon, is time to change your mold or upgrade it. Why? Because it really makes it impossible for SCOTT foil sit post bracket to fit properly, it actually doesn't fit at all, at least on this new one. I would try to install it on my TT Felt ia16 instead and will upload pictures of both as soon as I can.

Excellent Value, Light-Weight
Excellent value for the very modest price. Carbon-fiber saddles (or carbon-fiber *anything* for that matter) tend to be ridiculously expensive. This one not looks good but also feels just right. Since it is perfectly smooth, it causes virtually zero friction-- something to consider if you like to change your position on the saddle frequently as I do. Besides, the padding on your cycling shorts/tights is all the shock-absorption you will ever really need. Changing from the factory saddle my bike came with to the RXL SL, I instantly realized some 350+ grams weight-savings!

4 stars for delivery, but had to return
This saddle looks great, but rails will not seat properly on any of the 3 seat posts I tried it on. The rails are wider than standard, and road high on the sides of the seat post locating grooves where they must fit without stress. If I had not paid any attention, I am certain, cracks would have started in the rails from the stress of bolting them on. I returned the product.

Saved 220 grams from my stock seat
if you're racing this is a great seat to have. I did a metric with this seat and some decent shorts and only started feeling it after around 50 miles. Highly recommended for racing but not for daily use, you definitely feel it the next day if you use the same seat.

comfortable, light, not durable
The saddle is very comfortable but not durable at all! I only road it a couple times and when I was washing my bike I noticed the rail had cracked! Saddle was installed with a torque wrench and carbon paste so I know it was not an installation error. Other than it breaking I was very happy with the saddle. Very Light!

Light & comfortable
You wouldn't think by the looks of it, but this saddle is very comfortable. The shape is the key and it allows the chamois in the cycling shorts to do it's job. So often you see saddles with too much padding interfere with the chamois, causing it to bunch up or fold. Give this a try, you won't believe how light it is either, feels like nothing in your hand. Very nice finish, just remember not to clamp the rails too tight.

Smooth saddle
I use this saddle on my Trek Domane SLR. I really like it! I know most wouldn't think a seat without padding could be comfortable. But, once you are fitted properly to your bike, it makes a big difference when using any saddle, including this one.

My first experience with a carbon fiber saddle is a good one
I love the price and the delivery. This saddle looks great and is durable. I wondered if I could adapt to a hard carbon fiber saddle but that was surprisingly quick. You do need a good pair of riding shorts. It has helped improve my peddling power because of the upturn of the seat back. All good. Thank you!
