Flite Ti saddle, what's your next favorite
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have a Flite Ti saddle on 5 bikes, the original version or the replica. Like in the photo. It works for my sit bones. At least 1 with the most riding time is getting worn out. I want to try something else that is similar.

If you ride this saddle what is your next favorite or what seems to work for you? I would like to keep it in a similar price range. $100 +/-. BTW I have tried different versions of this saddle, with a cut out etc and did not work for me.

Prologo Scratch and Fabric Scoop Shallow. Both have a similar profile to the flight

I love flites too. I went to the Fizik Arione and like them too but think they are a bit flatter. If I could find some Flites that weren't so expensive I might switch back.

I rode Flites for years on all my bikes and moved on to Fizik Alliantes. Just last week I said to a friend, "I'm curious if I would still like a Flite saddle if I rode one again?"

I have liked the Alliantes (without the cut-out, that felt like two dull knives trying to saw me in half) but I'm looking for a change.

Listening in here. I'm still running Flites on 5 road bikes and haven't found anything else I like as much (at least for rides of up to ~2.5 hours).

I recently purchased a new saddle, Fizik Aliante R3 Saddle. Once I got the Aliante was dialed in, it has been the most comfortable saddle I have used since my old Flite, and just feels right:banana:

I’ve tried so many saddles but nothing beats the original Selle San Marco Regal for me.

Specialized Romin Pro 143.

Went from using flites, to fizik antares, now to fabric scoop flat. I think think the fabric is a sturdier saddle if you weigh a lot,(180+ lbs.) I was guessing my flites were getting a "sway-back" to them after a while, changing their shape.

I used the flite many years ago. Now I use an SMP Stratos.
