That does not look comfortable and practical at all.Never seen one before and can understand why.

I guess it might allow you to get in a TT position a little easier, is there a locking mechanism?

I wouldn't want to trap my bits in the join!

Oh, I've seen those before. They've for cyclists who want the snip but are too busy training.

I wonder what the thinking is behind it, there obviously is some but I can't think what.

 

[Drago]

The thinking was to inflict sudden, unbearable pain in male cyclists.

Anti theft device to stop someone riding away on your bike.Its a mantrap in disguise.

Very unusual saddle I have not seen one like that before. I await your road test report with interest!

@User13710 may lack the physical attributes to provide a meaningful test report.

My reading of the thread is that @Drago really really really wants to give it a go.

but only on the next naked bike ride.
