Anyone have any info on the new ISM Adamo Saddle, the Time Trial?
I had heard rumors about it, but now it is officially posted on their website for a February 2011 release.
I don’t see any information on what makes this saddle unique from the other one. It looks about the same.
It would be useful to have a comparison with the Race model to see what’s different. It’s appears thinner but purely a guess. I am about to do some saddle exploration with the ISM so the timing is good hopefully. I currently have a Selle San Marco Tri Aspide for TTing.
I wish ISM would clearly show the differences of the different saddles on their website… A comparison chart would be nice… They have 7 saddles that look EXACTLY the same, just with different names… I don’t get it.

According to the description, it appears that the “prongs” have a bit more of a downward curvature towards the front as compared to a “Road” or “Race” model.
Yep narrower with titanium rails . . . like the podium really but with the length of the road/race

…looks to be the same width at the “prongs” as the Road/Race to me…
Interesting:

I think the nose of it looks narrower than the road version, which is what I use.

I think that’s an optical illusion in that pic caused by the front edge being more curved…
“Uses light weight foam and gel pads with titanium alloy rails. 245mm long and 130mm wide.”
That’s from the site. So, basically same size as racing, but with more of a slope like the podium?
Will we be seeing these at TriSports anytime soon?
It costs more!
The opening up the diapham line looks straight from Cobb’s marketing.
a more expensive, less impressive version of the vflow max
.
tried ISM road, race, podium the v-flow, plus, and max along with some other cutouts and sided on the max but I am willing to try a new saddle.
It has the same back and padding as the original Racing saddle but with the nose of the Podium. So the saddle will suit those who want a multiple riding position TT saddle and the narrower nose will reduce shafing (for those who’ve had issues with that)
are you sure the nose is more narrow than the podium and race?
the nose is identical to the podium, therefore smaller (less wide) than the racing.

Do you know whether and where it can be ordered now in europe?

Hi Nic, it is scheduled for release in Europe in April. You can find German retailers here: http://www.t1bicycles.com/t1bicycles/Handlerverzeichnis.html
