So ladies, what is your favorite saddle?
So far, my favorite saddles are my Specialized Body Geometry road and mountain bike saddles. Don't recall the name of the mtn saddle. The road saddle is the Jett 155.

:D :D
Right now, Fizik Arione. Have test-ridden (on a bike I was test riding) Selle Italia SLR and liked it too.
I've found that I need a saddle that is absolutely dead flat from tip to tail, but that is convex (turns downward) from center to edge. Additionally I like saddles that are firm and not too wide, and have a nice narrow, longish nose (I bought a cheap Selle San Marco -- SKN -- which basically fit that profile and was pretty comfortable too). I like the length of the Arione, and I like the transition from the nose to the back, it's very gradual and smooth so I don't feel like I'm "running into" a sudden flare in the back (as I sometimes did with the SKN).
Oh -- and I've had bad luck with cutouts. Surprisingly saddles without cutouts that meet the above criteria don't create undue pressure for me.
Favorite saddle for what? Road racing? mtb racing? Triathlons? Time Trials? You're in the racing section, so I assume it isn't general recreational riding.Quote:

I suppose that could make sense given the different position. Right now I have one bike that I will be using for all road riding including time trials. I am planning to get aerobars for it but I am going to go with the profile jammer bars as they don't require making any major adjustments to the bike.
