Gobi Xm vs Phenom vs Silverado

[Lukep]

As you can see I have a saddle delema here, which one to choose ? Or is there another saddle I should be looking at?

Intended use is XC riding with the average ride distance being 50km but occasional longer ride of 100km plus.

 

Thanks

Cant offer decent advice, but I can say that I have the Phenom, and I'm very happy with it. Done many marathons and Sabie Experience, no problems.

I have used all of those and the best one i have ever used and that is still on my bike is the WTB Rocket V. I have 4 other mtb buddies that also swear by this saddle. Its very comfortable on long distances, and the top model is reasonably light too. go to http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=25683   for info

saddles are like lube. tyres and religion, everyone on the hub has there own idea of what works. 

 

Me, I like a minimalist saddle like the selle italia slr xc gel, ive done 5 hours on in with cape storm nitro bibs and no issues.  But if you dont ride allot your but will never get used to such a thin saddle, so maybe something thicker. 

 

People swear by the gobi, got one with the bike, sold it a few days later, hated the shape.
