Sweet looking. Comfortable. Lightweight. And if you can find them, they're really cheap. < $20
If anything, real kevlar sides instead of nylon-like material. Fancy metal rails instead of steel. But if you have all that it won't be less than $20
The saddle is great. I had one as OEM on my GT I-Drive. When it wore out, I found one with the Landing Strip at the LBS for like $10+tax.
What a sweet deal. They are fairly light, and they are very comfortable. And they look like a million bucks. I like the slim look.
I liked it so much, when I saw one on ebay, i bought that one too and put it on BMX bike.
These saddles makes my @ss happy!

Nice shape. Comfy. Kevlar sides.
Logos are a bit overstated. Colors on some are a bit flashy for my taste. Might be a bit plush for hardcore racer types.
Had this on my Voodoo for awhile but have been using this on my DK 4130 BMX cruiser lately where I wanted something more cushy yet still race oriented. On the DK you sit pretty hard on a seat (usually standing while pedaling) and this one has been great! On the DK layback seatpost (this is most likely the seatposts fault) in the furthest back position the nose it's sits in a pretty much level position... wish it could angle up more. I like it much better than most of the lame bmx seats out there.
In the month I had it on the mtb I liked it too. Very comfy ride. Didn't make any body parts fall asleep. Could be lighter (I only have the cro-mo model). Wish they'd tone back on the graphics a bit. Subtle is better imo.

Decent saddle.
Relatively lightweight.
Sewn-in graphics are sweet!
Squeaks a lot.
Numbness in crotch after extended rides.
Plastic nosepiece [cap] isn't very durable.
INTENSE version of Satellite, with Intense sewn into the rear of saddle.
More padding is needed --only a small anount to combat "crotch numbness" after extended rides.
Plastic nosepiece bows outward, on my RaceFace XY seatpost; this causes it to grab onto your short/spandex! This part has also come unfastened from the screws, so I had to tape in together.
The rails squeak like a ho's bed at a cheap hotel!

Price!
Comfortable
Quality design
None so far
Picked up this seat as a closeout from a local shop for about the price of a value meal. Wasn't really looking for a seat but at this price I figured it wasn't a big gamble. Jackpot! I've been looking for a seat to replace my Specialized Manganese since it was basically numbing me babymaker even on beach rides on the strand. I bought numerous gel seats even those that have the ergonomic cut-out that are supposed to prevent numbness with no solutions. Little did I know that a stiffer $6 seat would solve my problems. I figure the softer seats just conform to your nether regions and don't provide a sturdy base for your sitbones. Riding my bike has never been more comfortable.

Lightweight I guess...
This seat totally pounded my groin into a bloody pulp and the rails were bent from one of my first rides. I finally bought a new seat last week and am so much happier.
The only good thing I can say about this seat is that when you are riding in the attack position, standing with weight behind seat, it is easy to grip the seat with your thighs for more control. It is skinny so there is little friction on legs when peddling seated.
Only a racer totally unconcerned for there nut sack safety would use this seat. I am shocked I used it for as long as I did. I wouldn't have ridden on it at all except my full suspension takes alot of the shocks. But after a particularly bumpy ride I got fed up and had enough. Also I don't know how this seat got bent, I weigh 175 and do jumps but I dont get that much air???
