Really? I appreciate the heads up.
One reviewer said the Mirror is too squishy - like unstable squishy. Doesn’t sound like you agree.
Is it a massive difference?
I would say the Adaptive is too hard still and the shape isn't as ergonomic as the Mirror. The position is trickier on the Argo as well since it needs to be just slightly nose up at the tip. I don't think the Mirror is too squishy at all, it's still supportive when going hard and sitting farther up on the nose whereas the Adaptive put too much pressure with the slight nose up and not enough give.

I can see where that comes from but that squishiness only applies when you first feel the saddle in the hand or that initial ride. It doesn’t feel like that once I started riding.
This spring I’ve been going back and forth between the Mirror and a traditional saddle on different bikes. They are both comfortable and I don’t feel like the Mirror is softer or less supportive while riding. The 3D mirror cups the sit bones but offers the same support between those points of contact. If it were slightly less expensive I’d get another one for both bikes.
