Ithys Gove Sadddle Review Reviewed By:Tim Cameron Reviewed On: March 19, 2004 Product Page:Titec Price: $92.00
In-depth Look
The Ithys Gove appears to be constructed well with the leather and Aramid Fiber(trademark) cover being screwed and glued into place on the underside. Titec uses aerospace grade titanium for the rails which should outlast your bike. The installation was basic as are most bike saddles so we bolted it on for a quick 12 mile ride. The trail we were on today is very aggressive with lots of roots, rocks, and other obstructions. I rode the first part of the trail without my padded cycling shorts to see how it felt. It was relatively comfortable at first but when I got to a more difficult part of the trail I decided to put on my padded shorts. The Ithys Gove gave a lot of support and was flexible enough for me and another reviewer rode it and said it was as comfortable as any he had ever ridden. As a matter of fact, he said it would be hard for me to pry it from him.
