A true bargain considdering how good it is
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: gets tatty quickly
"Just to add my tupence worth to all the excellent reviews this saddle already has. I like this saddle so much I actually have 3 of them in use at the moment, two on my road bikes & one on my MTB. I did have one on my track bike too but I have actually gone back to an Arione now.
The saddle is really simple, no gimmicks. Just a plain plastic base, a bit of padding, and a leather upper. The Ti rails just clip into the base with no fancy springs or anything. What makes it so good is the shape. They just fit, right from the word go.
The Ti one is worth the extra as it is more comfortable. I had a CrMo one and there was a difference riding back to back.
I have two critisicms however. I changed back to an arione on the track bike because the saddle works best with more upright road/ xc mtb position. It starts to get uncomfortable when you rotate to a more horizontal TT/tri/track position. Part of this is the lack of padding, partly the length. The saddle is fine for 100ml road rides however, but I guess it cant do everything.
Secondly is to do with how the cover scuffs with use. The leather finish has been completely scuffed off leaving a grayish nubuck type surface after just one winters use on the mtb. It doesnt really affect function, just its looks. I usually wear Endura singletrack shorts, the material, being that much more abrasive than lycra seems to have done the damage.
Still for £45 you will be very hard pushed to find something that is as light and comfortable as one of these. A true bargain."

Not all saddles are evil
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile
Cons: Limited Color Choices
"Getting a saddle that is better than the one you are using is not easy. There are the magazine reviews of course but are you one of the people that the saddle suits? I spashed out and got the Spoon titanium one and yes it is light, has slightly less padding than I expected and when sat on feels slightly shorter and narrower than my Selle Italia Flite Gel. But for reasons I do not totally understand it felt instantly more comfortable and is still so after a few 50 mile rides. A safe bet and a good all-round saddle for MTB and road."

I have two now
Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight
Cons: noisy
"Originally I bought the synthetic version as I was going to do the London to Cambridge bike ride. I've never cycled 60 miles in my life and was worried I'd get a bit sore. Well I was so impressed at how comfortable I'd been I bought the leather version for my MTB.
Since then I've been on a cycling holiday through India where you were encouraged to take your own saddle to fit to the hire bikes. I took my leather Spoon with me. It was brilliant. We cycled almost every day up to 60 miles for two weeks and I didn't once have a sore bum.
My only gripe, the synthetic one creeks and groans a little when I move my weight while pedalling. No such issues on the leather one though."

best saddle i've bought
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality
"We all know cycling is not without discomfort. Having bought countless saddles over the years, when I read the reviews of the charge spoon I took a chance, and am I glad. After doing about 200 miles I have to say straight out the box it was brilliant. Well worth the price."

Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, Good Fit
"I have only ridden with the saddle once due to time constraints, but it was immediately comfortable. After about 8 miles I had to do a bit of road side adjustment and it was then spot on.
I like the more traditional look of the saddle and for the price it is well made and light enough for my needs.
Overall, I'm pleased I chose this saddle as I was going to pay a lot more for a Fizik Arione, but went with some of the previous reviews."

Comfy sadle
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Good Fit
"I was loking to change my saddle when I caught site of a couple of good reviews on Charge saddles, to be honest not a brand of saddle I was familar with. I went for the Spoon Ti Leather which because as the Charge is in red also looks good on the bike which is carbon with black and white decals. The saddle it's self is super compy, I've comumted, done sportifs on it and raced on it, the longest days ride has been 120 mile. It's not so much that you notice the saddle is comfy, it's the lack of a numb bum at the end of a long ride which makes this great value for money."

Fantastic comfort
Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Comfortable, Durable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Rugged, Versatile, it ticks all the boxes!
"This is amazing value. I've had it for well over 1000 off road miles and it is in great condition. I'm a fan of leather, which has moulded nicely to my shape and offers a pleasant grip compared to plastic saddles.The Ti rails make it slightly springy for comfort. It's every bit as good as a WBT saddle on my other bike costing more than twice as much!"

Comfy and good value
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Great Value
"I bough this to replace the excruciating Specialized saddle that came with my 2008 Stumpjumper - I though I'd get used to it eventually but 2 years later, I gave up!
Saddles are obviously a very personal choice, but this one suits me just fine."

Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Comfortable, Durable, Good Fit, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight
"I bought this saddle based on reviews on the wiggle site. I haven't been disappointed. It's very comfortable, looks good and seems to wear well. The exception being that the red logo is wearing off together with the "titanium" label on the rails.
I'm considering buying another for my newer summer bike."

Very good for the price
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Durable, Great Value, High Quality
"Saddles are a personal choice and everyone has different preferences over makes, shapes, vents etc, but this saddle, for the money, is very good.
I was getting sore on longer rides of 40 plus miles from the saddle I had, and bought this as it looked good and had decent reviews and i wasn't disappointed. I'm sure for 3 times the price I could find something even better, but I won't be looking just yet!"

Highs and lows
Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Comfortable, Good Fit, Great Value, Lightweight
Cons: Poor Quality
"Very comfy, nice use of materials, looks good.
But, slightly shoddy build quality. One of the screws holding it together was loose when it arrived. When I tightened it - either the threads gone on the screw or in the actual hole.
I couldn't be arsed (needed my bike- old saddle had been stolen) to send it back. It may be indicative of general stuctural faults - or not. Time will tell."

"This is the third saddle to go on my scott all mountain bike in two years and last. The other two were not leather and had no give in them they would split or the staples would pull out.
Lets just say me and my bike will have ago at most rides afan/thetford/halden/gawton woods to name some so the whole bike gets put through its paces on a regular basis come rain or shine.
The leather one ive treated after most rides once dry and it still looks like new no signs of wear and the logo is still in place which on the plastic ones i belive comes of quite easy. so to sum up for fifty quid this leather sadle is cheaper than alot of other leather ones, but is comfy on the bum and wears well, it took along time to find it but this is the one for me."
