Another strange one:

Someone I know swears by those - he does huge amounts of riding on Zwift (also one of the two crazy people who did that 365x ADZ a few years back). Apparently comfortable but I'm not so sure.
At the moment I'm using the ISM Adamo TT saddle on my Kickr Bike. It is comfortable enough for 2 hour rides on Zwift.

Some saddles have become obscenely expensive, some SMPs with carbon rails are well over $500 and the Infinity ones are also in (or above) that orbit. I have to admit to an "interest" in the 3D printed saddles like the Specialized Mirror ones eg Power models ($500 & $650 !!!), lots of enthused reviews but oh the price, has been stuck at that level for a few years since release so they must be able to still sell them for that price? Anyone with personal or direct knowledge of these? If I win the lottery, not likely otherwise.

I only know that a friend of mine swears by the Infinity saddle but I have no personal experience with them. With saddles it's really down to each person.
What works for me may not work for someone else. If you are interested in the Infinity one, reach out to them - maybe they can work something out for you.

Lesa Ashford used an Infinity saddle on her round australia record last year, and I think Allan Jefferson used one when he won Race across America.
I agree with LateStarter, a lot of saddle prices are totally unjustifiable.

Maybe not strange for these days, but looks interesting and I wouldn't mind trying one of these:

One of the Specialized places I know would probably let me borrow one - they've previously helped me a lot with saddles. I'm thinking of trying one to see if it helps.
