I never even sat on my stock Kilo saddle so I have no idea.
I had a Flite on my Kagero for a spell and after this weekend's 50 mile leisure ride, I decided it's back to my trusty (and very comfortable) Turbo. The rear of the saddle measures just about as wide as the Turbo - yet contoured a bit differently - and the shape just didn't work for me, even with padded liners beneath my shorts. It's too bad because the Flite is a nice saddle and I really wanted to like it.
