I rode a PN3.0 with a +8 degree tilt with success for two years, but ultimately decided to go make my own saddle. One of my first prototypes had a V-shaped cut into it when you looked at it from the side, so that upper tilt was built into it. And when looking down at the saddle from the top, it had a duck bill shape so that it tapered back from the nose before getting wide at the rear. This is actually where the name V8 comes from: the V and the figure 8 shape. Ultimately, we decided to make the foam progressively deeper as it reached the nose of the saddle, and when the pubis bones sink into the foam, it creates that V shape out of foam, and not from the carbon itself. We have a couple of female world champions testing that saddle right now.
