I use the SLR XP. Had to get used to it at first, but now I find it very comfortable!!!

Other peoples' saddle recommendations mean very little unless their azz bones are similar shape to yours.

 

I know people who have hated the Arione, regardless of how many people rave about it. 

 

One of the most comfortable saddles I ever rode was the local, cheapy 'Top Gear' saddle that came with my Raleigh RC6000.  Zero bragging rights but a very happy bottom until the saddle stitching gave up.

Like helmet a saddle is a personal issue.... a verrrry personal issue.... you are just lucky if you find a saddle that works for you.... if you find THAT Holy Grail ..... stick with it!!!!!!!

[SarelM]

Why not ask your bike shop for a test saddle. I'm currently testing a F'zik Arione.

[slowpoke]

and SarelM has said it best

 

the best saddle for you is the one that your butt raves about the most, not the one that most butts rave about (mine included)

[bikemonster]

Ahem! 

 

Slowpoke, I think that you will find that it was I who said it best and not SarelM.

 

Just setting the record straight for straight-talking butts everywhere!
