Very light, just enough pad, priced right!
Update: 1 yearFirst impression, right out of the box, it was 152g. It has a thin pad with a textured surface. The mount rails are 7mm wide and 9mm tall, it works perfectly with my 2 bolt seatpost clamp. It should work with any over and under clamp. I didn't torque it down real tight, afraid I'd crush the carbon rails, but it holds my weight and doesn't creak like metal rails. The shape is flatter than my Charge Spoons, and the relief slot is a welcome change. It seems to support me more at my sit bones and less in my tenders. The saddle I replaced with this is a Prologo. I liked the Prologo, but over a short period of time, it seems to be putting more pressure on the center. I haven't had a chance to ride with it, so watch this box for a ride review when tropical storm Gordon blows over.Today the rain cleared and I got out for a ride on the new saddle. The first thing I noticed, is that it fits really well. No creeping forward as I pedal, no constantly repositioning to relieve pressure, no awkward pulling up for relief or pushing backwards to find a wider, more comfortable position. No leaning forward to the drops and regretting it, and not so much pad that it cuts blood flow at my femural artery, no nerve pinching, no sliding back into an uncomfortable position. It just plain works. My only complaint is the creaking, I'm sure it will work out as I adjust the torque on the mount bolts or add a little dab of fiber grip. One huge surprise for me, was how much easier it was to stand up off of the saddle... When my legs aren't gone to sleep from blood/oxygen deprivation or nerve impingement. This might be the best $40 I've ever spent on a bike mod.Your mileage may vary, bike saddles are absolutely personal preference. This is a very firm saddle, and I might have had a very different experience if I didn't have padded bike shorts. The saddle does deflect slightly and that made a big difference in the road vibration and overall comfort for me. I can imagine this saddle being all wrong for a heavy rider. At my size and 185lb plus 11lb of backpack and kit, I'm probably closer to the upper end of the designed capacity. If it ever comes to failure, I will update. Otherwise I expect this saddle to serve me well.Update: 1 year in, the saddle was still performing great a couple of months ago, but the center became more and more uncomfortable. Seems that the saddle was flexing downward at the outside edges, and the right side rail is cracked. It was an awesome saddle for a year, but now I'm trying to find something else. I could buy one of these every year, the price is right, and I will certainly consider it.So, I tried 3 other saddles, then bought this one again. I don't know if I just like it that much, or if I'm just used to it. Either way, the toseek is a good saddle, and I'll probably buy another one, then another..

Better than my Specialized Phenom at 1/8 of the price.
For the last 20 years i have been riding high end Specialized Saddles for the "Body Geometry" and have always been happy. My last Phenom Pro with titanium rails ($200) was a year and a half old and was creaking like crazy and had play in one of the rails. I took it to the local Specialized Dealer where i bought it from and they wouldnt help but were happy to point me to the now $250 replacement. I was done with Specialized done with that local store and done with spending $200 on a saddle.I had a mountain bike trip to tahoe comming up and needed a saddle. I went on amazon to buy a name brand other than specialized, maybe a Ergon or WTB but they were also expensive.I kept searching and found the Toseek much lighter than the highest end of all the name brand and also much much cheaper.I thought there had to be a downside. Maybe uncomfortable, maybe fragile.I have been riding it at least once a week for the last 8 months, it comfortable, its super light and no creaks or cracks.I am 170 pounds and ride pretty agressive trail on a full suspension bike. Not enduro but close.I would highly recommend .

Not disappointed
If this saddle holds up reasonably well (not expecting forever) I will be very happy. Light, quite comfortable (for me), and not too spendy. I’d buy one every couple of years... Fit note—I would normally take a narrow saddle, sitbones are close together. So if you are a wide saddle fit your experience might be different. You can look up how to measure using cardboard, tinfoil, etc, or go the professional route at the bikeshop. 4 stars only because I can’t vouch for reasonable durability. Everything else 5...

Exceeds expectations
I bought it to replace a high end Specialized saddle that came with a bike I bought used. I did not have high expectations. But this is a great, well made saddle at a really good price. In addition to the lightness and comfort other reviewers mention, I found the cover material to have just the right grip so that I do not slide around.I am near the weight limit, but so far no problems

Cover peeling off
The seat looks great and is comfy for me, knowing seat fit is a very personal choice. It's also a great weight savings on my entry level road bike. However, the PU cover is beginning to peel away from underneath the saddle frame. I'm hoping some superglue will hold it back down since I'm outside the return window.

Great high tech saddle at a very reasonable price
I was looking for primarily a comfortable saddle for my hardtail mtb. The fabric scoop radial elite was a highly rated bike saddle. The carbon rail model was $170. The Toseek model was apparently a nock-off of the expensive model. The entry level fabric scoop with steel rails was similar in price to the Toseek model but more than twice the weight. I decided to risk it and bought the Toseek figuring I could return it with prime and and at least give it a go. I was skeptical upon receiving the seat since it looked too spartan for my liking, I was hoping for a little more padding for my sensitive backside. I put it on the bike and took it for a test spin and was pleasantly surprised for the comfort the seat provided. So I decided to really test on the trail. I’m not an engineer but it appears that the radial design of the seat evenly distributed my weight for a very comfortable ride. After a one hour hard ride I was no worse for wear. The carbon rails look a bit fragile but only time will tell. Worth every bit of the five stars so far.

Cheap cheap cheap and next to no padding anywhere on the seat.
So, here is what you should know. There is next to no padding on this seat. I think it has about 1/4' to 3/8" at the most of padding, which compresses down to nothing in no time and so you're basically sitting on the plastic shell. I've never seen a seat like this with so little padding and so cheaply made. I didn't even put it on my bike and try it because I know there is no reason to, as it will not be comfortable. My poor sit bones will be sore within 5 miles, not to mention for the days that follow. I'll be returning this asap. I will say, it is ultra light weight, but that's because there is nothing to the thing.

Light and sturdy

Road bike =good, mountain bike =not good!
This saddle is very light. It seems well made as well. I tried it for mountain biking. It was not ideal for this. The wings of the saddle are too wide at the back to allow easy motion over them. In addition, the carbon doesn't flex well and can cause the sides of the saddle to dig into your thighs in some situations.This saddle would do well on a road bike though. That is where I will try it next.
