The last one in the listing "Color: New Saddle 3" looks like a rebadged Ryet https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807350692873.html for $20 more.

I have the Ryet version on 2 MTBs and a 3D printed version of the same saddle on my road bike. after almost 2 years riding multiple rides per week on the road bike, the 3D printing seems to be breaking down a little. Maybe not enough for me to replace it yet, but maybe next season I will (with the EVA version).

The reviews looks good as well as the build quality

Anyone using these Bjorn copies from Ryet? I like more narrow saddle this is 140mm but it gets narrow quite quickly maybe it could work. It also has very long rails so you can move it more forward.
How is the softness on Ryet saddles 3d print vs foam? I prefer to have some padding.

I'm currently riding Ryett Aircode, but I would like to switch the saddle to something with underside screw mounts to be able to fit bottles behind the saddle. Can anyone recommend something that will help me in triathlon but will be comfy in normal position for everyday riding as well?

If you're looking for something comfortable for triathlon, this might be right for you and it's also lightweight https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005010369191391.html

It's also really expensive... I want something that will work both for triathlon and everyday riding.

I understand that it costs a bit (but nothing comparable to the big brands), but with the Ryet one you'll definitely have more comfort even when it comes to TT. I've seen other cheaper alternatives on AliExpress, try taking a look at https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005010660655629.html

I've been riding that Ryet 3D printed saddle on my road bike.  I like the more flat across profile. It seems nicely built with full carbon shell and one piece looped rail. The shell makes it a firm feeling saddle when hitting bumps (compared to an SLR superflow boost with carbon/nylon shell which flexed more but was uncomfortable to me otherwise). The Ryet 3D cushion is more firm than foam of SLR but I find the Ryet saddle comfortable.  I haven't tried the Ryet foam version.

I've read back to Christmas in this thread, and it seems Ryet is doing a good job, certainly against the "name" brands at 3x pricing. It's amazing how fast these companies are iterating compared to western brands. I'm thinking I might try the Ultimate with full carbon, EVA, at over a hundred yanqui. It to garner a lot of praise here? Full carbon has to be the way to go? It may break, but it won't creak?

The failures seem to come with the composite nylon bases, while the full carbon layups seem to be reliable for a couple of years? YMMV.

How much damage does the 3D printed surface do to bib shorts? Is it a cheese grater? This is why I'm thinking to get the EVA surface. I am curious about the way the Ryet Ultimate has a dual pattern, with less cheese grater for most of the surface, and wonder if it's a good compromise between full grater and EVA? The one shown in my attached image seems to be a fairly new model, so there's not much scuttlebutt yet?

The Elitaone Selle clone also looks great, and is almost cheap enough for me to take a flyer on it. That Selle is often invoked as a favourite. It's a full carbon base, but cheese grater surfaced.

Sigh.,..

Is https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810334963440.html a knockoff of a Western design? Looks pretty distinctive but I can't readily identify it.

In my experience, little or none. I didn't put huge miles on mine (preferred SQLabs), but I didn't notice any untoward wear from the time I did spend on them.

I received my Ryet Ultimate Carbon EVA yesterday - and I'm actually pretty shocked - while the build is nice - the saddle is an absolute disaster for me - as my seated position vs my old Fizik with both saddles slammed forward to the max is around 4cm further back. And on my Fizik old style - due to it being a long nose - I can sit like 6-7cm forward vs the Ryet on climbs.

What the heck is a short nose saddle supposed to be if you cannot move it properly forwards.
Those saddles are only usable for those that like to sit far far far back.

I wonder why this isn't really mentioned at all. Also on Aliexpress in the reviews I only found a single other person complaining about it.

Are there any chinese saddles that are similar to a Fizik Antares and allow slamming the saddle forward a lot? And yeah best without a channel. I get one much better on saddles without channel like an oldschool Antares.
