The Troupe Sport saddle came with my 2016 Specialized Allez Sport bike, and was the first economic saddle that never gave me any saddle sore (I rode 120+ miles/week then, so saddle sore was a nemesis). It's a pretty minimalistic saddle; quite firm, so if you are new to riding, it takes a while getting used to not having much 'cushion' to sit on. This is a good thing, though, as cushy saddles tend to feel too hot after a while, and you tend to sink into it, causing pressure spots that get really uncomfortable. The central cut out relief a lot of pressure. It looks good on the bike, but not too expensive looking (like a Selle or a Brooks would), so I generally don't have to take it off when leaving the bike locked outside for extended time. (I live in a city with a healthy population of bike thieves, unfortunately). All in all, a really good saddle for a very good price.
