I am looking to upgrade my stock saddle to a titanium railed lighter weight model, but can't find many options for females. I like some male versions but fear they may be too narrow and painful. Any suggestions

The best way to find a saddle that works for you is to actually ride it. At the very least you'll want to sit on it to determine if it's supporting your bone structure properly. If you're looking for ti-rail women's specific saddles then you might want to check out Terry for starters.

Whichever model you decide upon, make sure it has a cut-out section.... That's the only type I'll EVER buy from now on. If I was a girl, I'd definitely buy a wider seat, just because of the bone structure (unless you're built like a guy)....

I'm a woman and cutouts are pure torture for me. The best way is to try them. WTB makes a woman's saddle in ti.
