  3. I really meant for support, if the rails are strong enough, if other people
    have had problems, if they thought is was comfortable.......things like
    that!

    The rails are virtually the same for both the Toupe and Alias (same
    material, same diameter, slightly different shape). If you haven't had
    "strength" issues with one you shouldn't have issues with the other.

    Comfort is a personal thing. I actually like both saddles, but I
    prefer the Toupe. That said, I would not consider the Toupe for day
    to day riding on a mountain bike. The Toupe has no edge protection and
    a very thin cover. I use mine for my roads bikes and for endurance
    events. For day to day beating around ... I ride an Alias.

    years ago?
