I'm considering the following two saddles and wondering if anyone has experience with either.
The 265x143 looks very similar to the Specialized Phenom/Toupe which I have used before and really like. Given the similarity in shape to what I know works, I'm leaning towards this option.
The 240x140 (bjorn style) looks really nice and is almost 100g lighter.
Also, I live in Canada and Ryet doesn't ship either of these models to Canada, however it looks like another ali seller "LEXON Official Store" does. Should I be concerned ordering from that seller vs direct from Ryet?

I have the phenom copy. Shape is nice but NGL the 3d printing is pretty stiff. Would be nice if they'd start producing softer paddings like the one original specialized or fizik adaptive

Lexon is the company that makes Ryet products. They also own a few other brands such as SROAD. Lexon official store on AliE is fine.
I don't have either of those 2 saddles but I have the Ryet one that is the S-works Romin clone, I like it quite a lot although I don't have the real S-Works one to compare to.

How long have you had it? Wondering if there is a break-in period or if its just a much stiffer material.

It doesn't break in. My stealth clone with the firmer padding hasn't changed. The earlier ones with the softer padding are still going strong.
-
The Padding is basicly no padding at all. Only the nose is soft. Some friends of mine have a selle italia 3d printed saddle and Difference is unbelievable.
During my rides the saddle is still ok. I'd say better than my old selle italia superflow slr (?) saddle but the bib i'm wearing still makes the Difference.
Overall, I'd buy them again but not for over 50€

Go for it. I have the other ryet version and still working fine.

Do you have a link to your stealth clone?
I was looking for one, but couldn't find it
