Black Widdow Posted November 4, 2010 Share Ok, so I need a new saddle. I fly a carbon hard tail. My bike's got a aggressive setup. Looking for a race saddle, but with the HT I need some comfort too. Where to find the balance? Want to hear from you guys out there; Your current saddle brand/model - happy or not? If you had to buy a new saddle today what would you buy brand / model, why? Looking forward to your advice / replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weight Weenie Posted November 4, 2010 Share Selle Italia SLR XC Gel Flow Not cheap, but light (170g)and enough padding for mtb, also kevlar sides so durable if you go down.Cut-out keeps you in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Widdow Posted November 4, 2010 Share Thanx for the response so far! I like the look of the Selle Italia saddles, but Fizik seems to be the overwhelming choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headshot Posted November 4, 2010 Share This is a terribly subjective thing. Most people ride whatever came on the bike. I have been on the same SDG I Beam saddle for 5 years and about to replace it with the latest version ex CRC for R500. Its starting to come apart slowly but is still comfy. Based on this I rate SDG and I-beam posts very highly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weight Weenie Posted November 4, 2010 Share Caerus - had the gobi on my GT when I bought it, took one ride and sold it, I need a 'flat'saddle.Ive done 5 hour rides on the XC with cape storm short, very comfy.There is padding but not so much that it wedgies you, but ur not sitting on plastic either. Just firm as a good saddle should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had the option to purchase a saddle again I will buy the Xc again! Well worth every sent! I paid R1200 at CWC for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
