E3 Form vs. E3 Form Gel

Anybody used the E3 Form or E3 Form Gel saddle?

Is one much different or better than the other?

I used the form for a couple of days. But it was weird. The cut on the saddle is abrupt. When I am using my hips to pedal...way back in the saddle my inner thighs started hitting the cut in the saddle. My opinion, a saddle should have a smooth shape.

I've been using the Gel model for about 5-6 months. Pretty happy with it, certainly an improvement over the Specialized Alias my bike came with. The gel is maybe a little soft, so I might go with the non-gel model. I am taking the Specialized Toupe for a test ride tomorrow though...mostly for the bling factor, although it is supposed to be very comfortable as well. But I have been pretty happy with the E3.

Took my first ride with one yesterday (E3 Form Gel). It was 2.5 hours. Oddly, my butt kept sliding off the front of the seat. I think my [censored] bones favored that, but then of course all the weight shifted to "where we don't want pressure 😉 ". Maybe my [censored] is too big for it, because I had to hunt a while to feel all the pressure squarely on the 'sit' bones and then like I said, I would slowly but surely slide forward (probably to aleviate the pressure of 100kg's on two bony spots). Today the bones aren't sore and I didn't go numb so.... 😕
