leather free saddle choices.
 

so i've done some minor searching because my saddle in trash and a half and it seems a lot of saddles have leather on them, some in very small amounts. so far i think the specialized alias might be ok but not sure about leather free. i'm just looking for something that i do not have to wear padded shorts all the time with but still have a little bit of a race design.


basically if anyone has any recommendations, it would be greatly appreciated.


and please don't tell me to just shut up and get a brooks.

second on the fizik arione. my butt thanks me every day.

i like the fizik nisene

Arione is badass, but the black/black model does have leather in the center stripe. Not sure about the other colors.

yup the black stripe is suede
all the other stripe colors are microtex.

The alias is a pretty good saddle and it is leather free. I like the avatar better (and it's cheaper) although there is a part of it that looks like suede (although I'm pretty sure it's synthetic).

I like the look of the old Serfas kevlar saddles.

There's that new magnesium monstrosity or the Tioga Spyder.

or a unicantor. i hope your butt is tough.

bare flite ti here

tune speedneedle alcantara (alcantara = ultra suede).

Speedneedle should have the same level of comfort as a classic flite, I'm about to install a wider marathon version on my bike so I should have some personal input on this pretty soon. One problem might be the availabilty of Tune in the US.

You could also try a stripped Selle Italia SLR TT. Try to find one that has a damaged cover, then rip it all off. Same level of comfort.

Not sure about the stripped flite though, the shell looks a little less flexible then the SLR shell, but i could be wrong.

arent a bunch of the selle san marcos Lorica?

i don't understand why someone would strip the leather off a saddle (unless it was already far gone). you would already be buying it used (hopefully, since you are looking for a leather free saddle in the first place).

this is not a troll response, i'm vegan, this idea just seems wasteful so you look "more vegan" or something

stripping a saddle and then calling it vegen is straight up weird

Mine's made out of synthetic baby people skin. Goes well with chic peas. I refuse to tell you where I got it.

fizik "aliante sport" cheaper OEM version of their top of the line saddle... you can get 'em cheap on e-bay and its a great saddle padded shorts or not.
