hibiscus Posted January 29, 2019 Share Hi, can anyone give feedback on these saddles....The smallest size is 148mm...I normally ride 143mm...will this be a problem. Is it similar to the Power saddle...which I hated... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmarc Posted January 29, 2019 Share I had the same question - I also ride 143. I have also just put on a power saddle from spez ridden it once and it seems to be okay What didn't you like about the power saddle ? because the Farr seems to be the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypot Posted January 29, 2019 Share The Farr saddle is a similar shape to the Power saddle, but it's not the same thing. It's more padded and I find it more comfortable. The seating position is different to a regular saddle so will feel a bit different at first, but I got used to it very quickly. I had it on my MTB and got another one for my road bike as well. I've done some very long rides with it and not had any problems. One of my buddies liked the look of it as well and he's been riding it for many many kilometers now and even used it for the Munga. It's a great saddle. Farrnus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hibiscus Posted January 29, 2019 Share The power saddle cut into my thighs...it gets too wide to quick because of the short nose...if you know what I mean. I'm using a Phenom which is much better but need to change soon due to wear and tear. Links MTB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmptyB Posted September 22, 2019 Share I have only heard great things about these saddles. Service is also apparently next levelCheers, does seem that way. Keen to try one for the longer rides....saw a couple of guys using them at 36One and they were happy with them. Not unhappy with the Spez power saddle but was quite badly damaged in a wipeout (it didn't explode).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had an issue a while back with the rails creaking, one email and 48hours later I had a brand spanking new saddle EmptyB and Farrnus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrnus Posted October 10, 2019 Share new range is NOW IN STOCK. now in a choice of CARBON RAIL or CRN-Ti ALLOY Rail versions. the last pic shows the WIDE ( 155mm ) version the LEFT and the STANDARD ( 148mm ) version on the RIGHT - same short-nose 243mm length but width differs. the CARBON RAIL versions also have a CARBON INJECTION base to further reduce weight. CRN-Ti Alloy start at R 1250 and CARBON RAIL are R 2450. WouWou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramrod Posted June 16, 2020 Share some BLACK, some OTHER COLORS too. Free Delivery Offer for whilst we have LOCKDOWN. do you guys have a test saddle system going? I currently ride the Spez Phenom and although the saddle is perfect, I am trying to move away from Spez due to personal reasons. Also don't want to buy a saddle only to find it does suit my fat ass. Been there done that as well and paid the school fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
