What XC MTB saddle?

[jayz]

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.

Selle Italia are lighter rand for rand. I rode the xc for a year and it was gr8t.Also is less than 1k at crc. The FIZZ and Spez sadles are also nice but tend to be heavier if you racing an aggresive H/T and wanting to save grams then SELLE is the ONE.

Rolls all the way!

 

Works well on the hardtail, (on the road it's now a SLR XP)

I been on the same shape as the rolls for about for-ever

Specialized Phenom sl 143 saddle

 

I tried to different xm Gobi's and both made my under carriage numb

Mmm, saddles, not an easy one.

I have tried SDG Bel Air, Gobi, Selle Italia Flite Genuine gel (new version) and did not like em.

WTB came close to making me happy ( Rocket V and Silverado )

Got a Spesh Toupe on my road bike and I like it, so I bought a Spesh Phenom 143 for XC duties.

 

Will report back late Thursday- putting it on my road bike to test it on a 100km ride.

Saddles are a personal issue. I use Selle Italia...... Same saddle on our MTB Tandem.... Both road Tandems as well as my spinning bicycle. Saddles are not discipline specific. Get the best one for your own @ss.

 

I must also say that when we did a lot of spinning in a studio and my bottom became cycling hard ....I could sit my hour session on any saddle.

I still cant decide, and am stuck on my 6/7 year old Specialized saddle still

Ek is rerig bly om te sien, eks nie alleen wat n probleem het met n saal nie, ek moet my selle 135g vervang maar die nuwes is glo nie gemaak vir my gewig nie, anders het ek nie n probleem gehad nie. Die nuwe saal het carbon rails. Die gobi is glad nie vir my nie het probeer, net die loep gery in Jonkershoek toe is ek op. Ek moet sê Flandria het darem n paar saals wat jy kan toets rit, so eks besig maar nog niks gekry wat my ass hou van nie.
