Any opinions from owners? I want a minimal carbon saddle that has a cutout. This saddle looks like one of the better options. They have some interesting marketing speak about flexing to allow a greater range of motion and making the contact areas softer. One thing I like about the carbon saddle that I have now is that it is not flexy.

I just noticed the link points to the generic products page. Here is one on eBay.
Does anyone have experience with this saddle, or have a recommendation for something similar? I'm looking for minimal padding with cutout, carbon shell, rails need not be carbon and I actually kinda prefer metal so I don't have to worry about crushing them.

Both of my saddles have some spring to them, ideally that's part of comfort... you'd want that for a sort of suspension effect I imagine... That 's effectively your cushioning system.
Since a little flex isn't your style, I'm thinking that carbon saddle isn't for you, try one of these:
