The saddle that works best for me is the Selle SMP Lite 209. A proper fit is extremely important to bike comfort. Well worth the price. My fit was done in a Specialized shop, even though I did not get fitted on a Specialied bike. Since going to SMP saddles, I've never experienced numbness "down there". In my younger days, I've had good experience with those old Brooks saddles. I have a new one in a box, but think I would like one of theirs with the cutout.
