Need advice on new saddle- Selle Italia x2/x0?
Hey everyone, I'm looking to get on a new saddle and I'm trying to decide between two Selle Italia models,
1) https://store.citygrounds.com/store/p...low-with-hole/
&
2) https://store.citygrounds.com/store/p...low-with-hole/
Just looking to hear some opinions from those who've owned or own these saddles...
I'm 5'9" about 210# and ride about 10-30 miles a few times a week so I really want comfort to be there. Should I look elsewhere, or is selle italia a good choice?
And yes I searched couldn't find any threads with these seats in particular, thanks in advance.

Dude you only waited an hour and a half.
Selle Italia is generally a well regarded saddle manufacturer, but saddle choice is really based on your own butt.

Thanks for the info on the width though dudes, coming from the Bmx world you don't even sit on saddles but I was hoping to see if anybody has had either of these saddles to get a review or two about their comfort and durability.

Your cog is slipping.
I happen to think the X2 "Man Flow" is one of the worst saddles on the planet. There's a reason it's only 30 bucks.

And you know it's bad when they say "Man Flow".
A lot of people like this cheap saddle: https://www.treefortbikes.com/product...ddle-CrMo.html
