What saddle do you ride?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Selle Smp Stratos

The price of this saddle was way too much what I would pay for a saddle. But I got it from a guy who was selling it for 100 bucks off. Love the extended cutout and I have had issues with non-cutout saddles ever since I started riding.

As much as I don't want to admit it, I let my 3 year old Fizik Aliante for a Bontrager Affinity RXL and am very happy with it.

On my first bike, I started with the Fizik Alliante and am still riding it after 8000 km and have ridden it for max of 5 hours.

My second bike came with the Selle Italia XC Flow and I figured that I would ride it for a while and then replace it but am still riding it after 2000 km.

On my latest and newest bike, I decided I wanted to try the Selle SMP so I got the Lite 209.

I love all of them.

I'm currently riding a Terry Liberator Y Gel (for men of course). its not bad, but its far to padded for me and the cutout needs to be a bit wider/deeper, i'll be upgrading sometime this season

Fizik Kurve (Bull)...I went through a Specialized Toupe and Sell Italia Gel Flow before thankfully finding the Kurve. I finally understand what people meant when they would say, "I don't even think about my saddle anymore." I used to constantly shift around on my other saddles and think about adjustments that might make the seat more bearable.

Selle Italia Flite Red Label Classic. All four road bikes have them. Hard to come by these days. But, I have 3 NOS in stock.

I just got a SLR SuperFlow, the regular width one. We'll see how well it goes. Currently riding the regular SLR TT.

I checked Fizik (Antares) and Selle Italia (???) because I do have those saddles on two of my bikes, but my main ride is a Williams Aurora +. Been riding an Aurora non+ for over a year/6000miles and got the + about 500 miles ago. It's slightly wider and I like it even better. CF rails, 150 gm $129.

With Fizik, I highly recommend the Versus versions with the dipped channel down the middle. It made a difference for me anyway.
