I have this one in full carbon. It has been great. I never think about it, which in my opinion is the test of a great saddle. It also looks cool. The weight isn't great compared to some others, but it weighs a lot less than my S-works mirror saddle. For the money I think these set the standard.

anyone bought the gelu replicas from odin-zeus? 60g and they look seggsy

@aeroskiii, did you buy any of those?

I am looking for a weight weenie (narrow) full carbon saddle. Three candidates below.

It looks like the last two are replicas of the Gelu K1, while the first one is slightly longer:

TLO 65 saddle (120 x 260 mm, 75.7g, 76 EUR):

Ryet K1 (122 x 242 mm, 58g, 87 EUR):

OdinZeus K1 (122 x 242 mm, 57.5g, 109 EUR):

Anyone have tried any of these?

Curious about the weight difference of the first one, while the Ryet and OdinZeus looks to be exactly the same thing except for an additional mark up on the latter.

Reviews of the Ryet are not that encouraging, as there are several cases with cracks after the first rides (see pictures). On the other hand, Ryet offers a 1 year warranty replacement which I do not know if any of you have ever used. No idea about the warranty of OdinZeus, as I have never bought from them either.

Cheers!
