I have one and I really like it. I got it right when it came out last year. I have climbed in it quite a bit I don't really have any complaints. I don't see how it could be as high performing as a Treemotion or some of those other high tech fancy pants saddles but I am not a high performance climber so I don't really care. The saddle is very comfortable and very solid. I have only had Buckingham saddles in the past and I feel that New Tribe blows them out of the water on every level. I have also climbed in a couple of Don Blair saddles, Butterfly, and a Treeflex. While they are all good saddles, they were just not for me. The Nikosi is my second NT saddle and I doubt I will buy from anyone else in the future.
