So lets jump into it!
EC90 Power Saddle. This is a knock off saddle of the Specialized Power Saddle that was introduced some time ago. Some RU-vidrs have uploaded general info about them, but I thought I'd share my experience with these (note: I've never owned a Specialized Power Saddle, but heard good things, but realistically speaking, that money amount isn't in the books, so I can't own it at the moment, so I gotta settle for what I can get).
The Specialized version is a whopping $300 (on their site).
However! I wasn't completely incorrect on the pricing of $150-160 (turns out there is a cheaper version of the saddle on the site ($130), but still, that's a lot of money for ONE saddle).
The construction is a bit different from the original as well. The cut outs has slight variations in them, but overall they function as they should.
Pricing originally was cheaper, but now it seems that it has gone up roughly about $10-15 (depends on where you get it, I have some links that you can use to check them out).

(and this one as well for $130)

The weight of them is fairly accurate: 225-230 grams (143mm), 245-250grams (this might differ to something higher after production).
Most good knock offs will have close to original measurements, but at times can vary, so I'd definitely check it before riding it.
Overall, some research needs to be done to see what will work for you in terms of saddles. This saddle isn't for everyone. The short nose might be a problem for some or even the cut out position. However, the upside is that if you don't like it, you can send it back and try something else! And it's cheap!
I apologize for some corrections being made here in the description, some things weren't too obvious (it was super late when I made this, lol).
Hopefully this vid helps some of you folks out, if you got any questions, drop them in the comments. Remember to Like/Subscribe and stay tuned for more!
