Only ever heard good things about WTB saddles, not the easiest to get hold of locally though.

We stock WTB.

 

I use the Volt Team saddle. superb!

Also a fan of SDG Bellaire.

Fizik Antares 00 on road bike.

Loving it even on century rides.

Had a Selle Italia SLR. Did not enjoy it.

Definitely going to make a mental note of that for my next saddle.

Me too! I always had to check the classifieds and as soon as I saw one I used to jump on it and harass the poor selller. :)

Go to a fi'zi:k dealer, do a spine test, according to your spine flexibility a saddle will be recommended, the dealer should offer you a test saddle that you can use for a couple of rides, try all if you have to, most times the first recommended works, after trying the test saddle you can then invest in the proper fi'zi:k made for you. Don't just go and buy what others like and what looks nice. Nsquared distribution supply fi'zi:k in SA. www.nsquared.co.za

Fizik Tundra 2

I'm happy with my Tundra2 on HT MTB. Never had an issue even over 100km rides its fine. Also not a user of chamois cream, i cant understand why people have these issues.

 

Steel roadie has a selle ITALIA something something also no issue there.

Fizik tundra 2, feels like an ironing board but its an ironing board that is suprisingly comfortable.

Specialised Phenom, absolutly love this.Got one in pollsmore size 155 and it was comfortable from the word go. No break in required.

 

another one I like is the charge scoop, got one from wiggle.co.uk for about R250 on a sale, and it was more comfortable than a lot of more expensive saddles.

Clearly a saddle is a very personal thing but I use Fizik Aliante on all my bicycles. I've never had a problem. I also understand that it's Fizik's best selling saddle.
