    I went with the Falcon X over the Zero for the larger cut out. So far so good.

    The day I bought it my shop guy asked me if I wanted the placement the same as the old saddle. I told him if he put it on upside down it was bound to feel better than that Bontrager (it does)

    I agree I appreciated the larger cut out, but my sit bones were not pleased at ALL with the larger seat. I wonder if there's one out there the same width as the Damselfly, but with a larger cut out like the Falcon X. In pink, of course!!!

    I would suggest going to the Terry site and looking at some of the men's saddles.... I think that the Falcon Y will have the larger cut out, but will be narrower in the back more like the Danselfly.

    I found that I loved the large cut out on the Liborator X, but it was too wide in the back... got a Butterfly, and while better in back, not the cut out is too small. I think the next one to try is going to be the Liberator Race...it looks to have the bigger cut out and is just a tiny bit smaller in the back than the butterfly.

    And the best thing is that you get 30 days to try out the saddle and if you don't like it send it back to Terry. (if the saddle you are interested is here on TE, they have an even better return policy on the Terry saddles with 90 days!)

    I ride the men's Fly, which is narrower than the Butterfly. I was torn between the Fly and the Falcon Y which was awesome for shorter rides. Anything over about 50 miles, and the Falcon Y started to hurt in the sit bones more than it should. BUT, that may not be the case for everyone. It's definitely narrower than the Falcon X and I believe it has the same cut-out. It might be worth a try!

    Oh, and if anyone likes the Butterfly but finds it too wide, try the Fly.

    I'm currently using the Falcon X and am happy with it, but am thinking about switching for a slightly narrower saddle because on longer rides the Falcon does chafe a bit. I was looking at the damselfly and might have to try it-I have a black Allez with pink bar tape and pink water bottles so it might complete the pink look. I never thought of pink bottle cages though, I'll have to check out the Terry site.
