Lighter (less?) padding, it looks like.

Also 3 (old) chevrons vs. 2 (new).

Is it the same shape in the back area? I know on their website, the top view makes the back area look wide.

yeah, i’m pretty sure the differences are minimal.
only the very small weight difference and the aesthetic portion you pointed out.
essentially, it’s the same saddle.

I think the “hook” on the saddle for hanging the bike in transition is on the FRONT of the Adamo Race and it’s on the BACK of the Adamo Race 2.

All i gotta say is that these Adamo cushioned saddles are amazing, first and probably only brand i’ll use. I have no clue how some of you use the normal rock solid ones.

I don’t know about the Race 2, but the ‘hook’ is on the back of the original Race as well as the original Road. I have one of each.

Interesting, even in the picture on OP looks like the hook is on the front?

I also have one of each, there is no noticeable difference when riding and one has about 200 miles and the other well a lot.

the insert picture shows the saddle with the nose facing left. the longer section is the tail, with the hook.

I’m guessing the gel inserts is one of the major changes. Wonder how different it feels.

the price???

Ah, thanks I thought it looked the the other way around.

If it has gel inserts and, if they don’t compress over time, I’m in. The right prong on my Race is compressing and I’m thinking of opening the stitching and putting in a bit of gel, which I happen to have. My Road is Red and my P3 is papaya color, so that would look like hell, but I guess a papaya colored P3 is already not a fashion statement.

hey soss.

the saddle, on a side view, looks like it slopes down. is this true? im assuming it’s adjustable to from down slope to a level position.
