That was my experience as well. I wanted to give the new one a run but
delays were frustrating. It’s not uncommon. And SA was great about it.  But
I switched order back to H2 leather and happier for it.

If anyone wants to try the R2 rubber saddle, I have one I would let go of. 
It's a nicely made saddle but the shape didn't work for me.

I was on the pre-order list for the R2, but after they blew a couple of 
delivery deadlines I switched my order to an H2.  SA communicated really 
well during the process.  They essentially switched my order to an H2 
without an upcharge and shipped it 2 day.   I've been very happy with my SA 
saddle. I'm 190lbs and the H2 leather seems to be the right level of 
suppleness. My experience was mainly with VO and Geyes saddles in the 
past.

Thanks for the info, Erl. I think I'll purchase another leather saddle from 
SA instead.

[Drw]

Great info. I’d been on the fence too. I have an x2 that I like a lot but some 
of the quality is a little... concerning...longevity wise. Super comfortable 
For the time being though. Was gonna try this, but not if it stains and isn’t 
as comfortable.

The ride was so-so. I have an SA X1 which I love.  The R2 was not as 
comfortable.  It lacked the give and flex of the X1.  In addition the rails on 
the X1 are longer than the rails on the R2 and X2, so I can get the X1 just 
enough farther back to be in the perfect position.

Wow, that will save me $90.  I am curious, though.  How was the ride?

I saw an rode it for a whole minute at the Philadelphia Bike Expo in 
November.  It seemed fine, but then again, only for a minute.  I'm curious 
too.  They come up in the sale section every week or so and I've seen them 
there in the $80-90 range.  If you do that, it's yours.  If you buy it new, 
they have a money back guarantee.

I have a NSX and I like it better than my B17, and I'd love to try the X2. 

If you try it, please keep us posted.

Roberta
