Seriously!???
How could anyone think this is a good idea, let alone bring it to market:
Reading the "Chinglish" description is not especially illuminating, other than that the point seems to be to prevent the rider from moving around on the saddle. Hopefully it comes with a big sign for the handlebars that says "DON'T SLIDE BACK!"
Then again, perhaps it's meant to be the ultimate tool for teaching proper cyclocross remount technique? Talk about "negative reinforcement"!!!
For more details or to place your order, go to:

It comes in two widths, three rail materials and three fin heights. I don't even want to know how you're supposed to determine what fin size you need!

I tend to slide to one side after a while - leg length discrepancy. Maybe it would work for me and keep me centered?
I hope everyone knows I'm joking. But I do have a hard time staying centered.

Well, it would definitely work
I wonder if each saddle comes with a tube of Preparation H?

Perhaps try Kundalini meditation?

Sorry I was late for the ride, guys. I had to perform a quick colonic before I could ride my new white saddle or face embarrassing consequences...

perhaps
... The fin adds stability when you're riding out of the saddle?

That must be it!
It's an aerodynamic sprint stabilizer!

We've all heard the term "ass hatchet".
Somebody just got around to actually inventing one !

Why use a saddle at all? Just round off the end of the seat post.

The real selling point
It's an anti-theft device.

Anti Theft?
You get out to your bike and the busted lock and the saddle are laying on the ground and the bike is gone?

I'm not touching it, nor getting close to it....
...if there are skid marks...on the white saddle.

Really?
Can you imagine that saddle on a cyclocross bike?

A friend's comment on seeing a photo of the saddle: "I'm not having a shark anywhere near my goolies!"

So the 'fin' is only on one side? Seems like the middle might be more useful [and stimulating]
They appear to make different degree of fin heights. Be good for sphincter/roidy scratching on the bike I suppose...
