C17 Carved is my preferred saddle. The have quite a bit more flex than the
regular C17.
If you don’t mind the generic look, old Advocet Touring saddles are pretty
comfy.

About all I can say about bike saddles is that they are just fitting
clothes. That said, I ride Selle Royal Lookin Men's Moderate saddles. Most
of their saddles are quite flat in that not only is there no center dip,
the rear of the saddle is also flat

I've become really into SMP saddles - I have the Well (slightly padded) and
a Dynamic (little padding) and they are both great. The 'dip' in the middle
is really comfortable.

Saddles are a very personal choice. What fits one may not fit another thus I
tread lightly into this topic.
Personally, been riding Fizik Alicantes for years. By far the most comfortable
saddle on my road bikes. Do have a Prologo nago on my MTB which is quite nice
as well.
Caveat: But what
I agree with Ben -- most saddles are arc-shaped and I like flat saddles. I
really liked my Velo Orange wide touring saddle. It's firm but not too firm
and has a rubbery texture. Bag loops are a plus. I find this saddle to be
not breathable enough for me (I don't wear bike shorts). My current
The new Specialized saddles are quite comfortable— I use one with a 168mm
width; it is about the same width as my Brooks saddles. They are also
impressively light.

I am with Robert, the WTB Pure V has similarities to the B17 (and my
favorite saddle, the Berthoud Aspin/Aravis). The Pure V has a dip fore-aft,
and a flat back.

B-17’s work really well for me but I do use non-leather saddles on most bikes these days. The WTB Pure V is my favorite and I have a few stashed for future use. The Fabric Scoop Flat and Specialized Romin also work for me.Robert TilleySan Diego, CASent from my iPhoneOn Sep 22, 2022, at 11:39 AM,
I was totally in love with my SQ Labs 611 “active” saddle on my Jones 29 with
somewhat upright position. They offer instructions for measuring sit bones then
using a formula to calculate the correct width. Most comfortable saddle I’d
ever owned - on any bike. When I got my Clem it just was not
The bike shop I worked at would let you try out a saddle for a couple of
days or a week as long as it's returned in sellable shape. Discus your
experience with leather saddles and the sales person could help you select
one that works for you. A good time to establish a relationship with the
shop
I agree with Joe, the Fizik Aliente is pretty good as non-leather saddles
go, if that's the same one I'm thinking of. Mine is much older and is
battered beyond recognition at this point. I love the Selle Italia Flite
for race bikes, but I can't imagine it working well in as upright a
position as
Hello Zack,
I find the Selle Italia flite comfortable in all positions. I rode an original
Selle San Marcos Regale for years and found that comfortable, too.
I couldn’t get comfortable on a turbo or rolls and hated the Brooks Cambiums. I
tried 3.
Best,

I have tried and failed for years to love and get comfortable on leather
saddles. I've really put in the miles so I'm fairly certain that this isn't
a "break in period" issue. I've been through a couple Brooks and Stelle
Anatomica.
I'd like to get some non-leather saddles a try but there are
