Magma Mgc Saddle

Has anyone else purchased the new Selle San Marco Magma saddle? If so, I'd love to hear your feedback. I personally like it so far. The design - longer and more narrow than my old saddle - fits well. I was surprised at how comfortable it is being metal with no padding or leather. Well, thanks in advance for your comments.

[font=Franklin Gothic Medium] I have looked into the Magma saddle, but I am considering buying the Rever saddle. Which do you think is more preferable for road riding. I thought the Magma saddle looked a little too funny to be as comfortable as the Rever. You sound like you are pleased with your purchase so maybe you can offer me some insight.[/font]

I find it kind of funny that people ask about others opinions on saddles. Other components I can understand, but saddle fit and compatibility seems to be about the most individual aspect of bike fit. If the Magma works for you, great!! You need no other validation.

Validation? You used that word not me.

The Rever saddle looks pretty nice; looks like it has a lot more padding that the Magma Mgc. If you get the chance to compare the two you'll probably be surprised on how comfortable the metal feels.

The Magma MG has a cover and padding, correct? I'm not sure I'd go with something without padding but I need a replacement for an Era. The SIZE tool suggested the MG. Anyone using one of these??

I had the Magma MGC - which didn't have a cover initially; that one cracked on the nose. I then got the one with white leather and had problems keeping the leather white - normal problem.

I gave up the Magma after all of that - and white saddles.

Have fun.

Thanks for the feedback. They seem a little expensive to be cracking though...

I agree that's why I switched to another saddle maker. I really did like the ride on that one though. Take care.
