Very comfy saddle before you break it. Berk saddles are not designed to last long because the trail and shell are only glued together. No extra carbon like many other lightweight carbon saddles. Have bought 3 saddles, 3 broken after 2-3 year of use. Warranty is excellent but now selling every warranty cover saddles away and buying something else. This is know issue by Berk but still no upgrade, maybe manufacturing is really cheap with little hand work
We had that happen to one of our saddles 4-5 years ago since than we didn't had any problems...saying that we are aware of that. When you find a better light saddle let us know. What we heard about all of other lightweight saddles are really hard...
Hi, yes it is less comfortable. It is hard to tell how much but you do feel the difference. I guess I got used to it and even when we test the padded versions we prefer the carbon finish...
The original Lupina 150 padded is the most comfortable saddle I've ever ridden, and I have it on all my bikes. Sadly I've broken about three of them over time but customer service is, as already mentioned, on point! Is the shape of the sitting part actually any different form the original long version or is it really just the OG with cut nose?
It is different since structure. It is shorter and different rails. They managed to keep the comfort and shorten the saddle - not as easy as it seems. I Love it!
I have seven of these, absolutely brilliant saddles (short or long), customer service is incredible too

Hi thanks for the reveiw... Looking at this saddle. in your opinion is the Carbon (which I prefer) any less comfortable than padded?

I have the same saddle. How did you find the tilt angle? Your setup looks 2-3 degree nose up to me.
Hi, you should set it up the tip of the saddle an mid of the saddle should be 90 degrees. Mine is a bit more tilted to the upside.
