Who's Bought One of the Berk/Gelu-Style Full Carbon Saddles?

Hey everyone,



Just wondering if anyone here has picked up one of the full carbon saddles that are basically Berk or Gelu-style copies?

I just ordered a Kocvelo saddle that looks like a clone of the Berk Lupina Monocoque Open. It’s listed at around 90g ±10g, compared to the Berk’s 105g — and the price difference is wild. I paid just £43.45 GBP, while a real Berk is an eye-watering €622!

I’ve actually owned a couple of real Berks in the past and loved the ride feel, but both cracked and had to be warrantied, even though I’m well under the 100kg weight limit. That pushed me to give one of these budget options a shot.

Curious if anyone else here has tried these copies versions and how they compare in comfort, quality, and long-term durability to the originals.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

No one here has bought an AliExpress Carbon Saddle I find that hard to believe!

I find it hard to believe that Berk is now big enough that his saddles are cloned. I remember when he was more or less a kid.

I agree on his failure rate-its unacceptable for the price. The saddles are reasonably comfortable.
