Long-time Selle Italia 1990 Flite user here. Unfortunately, the one I’m riding now is on its last legs & needs replacement soon. Apparently they have discontinued this model once again & instead of dead stock being discounted, their price keeps going up.

Maybe it is time for me to change...

I move around alot on my saddle so like it to be smooth, or even slick; but unfortunately been getting caught in the rain too often lately. Maybe that’s why my other Ti Flites didn't hold up very long, & I think is good reason to worry about my using a typical Turbo.

I just ran across a synthetic Turbo at a local shop & can’t help thinking that it could be the ideal solution for my particular saddle need?

Guess the tl;dr version of my question is…

Anybody have any real world experience with a “vegan” Turbo saddle that they care to describe here?
