The firm padding and stiff shell create a responsive platform for power transfer. What sets this apart is the narrow profile combined with a split tail design for flexibility where needed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"><strong>Condition<\/strong> The saddle is structurally sound with typical wear to the vegan leather cover. Logos show some fading, and there&#8217;s a small dark mark on the rear corner from a previous repair. Rails and base remain in excellent condition. Hi, I&#8217;m Paul &#8211; need any specific photos of the repair or wear points?
