    The saddle that came on my Trek was Bontrager Select FIT Basic, a stock saddle.
    The horror, the horror!
    Maybe a higher end model wouldn't have been so bad.

    I don't know what the FIT Basic saddle is like. Could well be shaped differently than the Race X Lite. I know many basic, stock saddles for women do not work for me, either. They tend to be to wide and too soft.

    What did you end up finding, Zen, that you like?

    My bike came with the Race Lite FIT Lux - don't know how that compares to the other, but I too love this saddle - like others have said, long ride, short ride, no complaints from any of the "parts"

    I haven't ever had a Bonty - but my favorite saddle a Jett makes it onto the most hated saddles often too.. It does have a cutout - I get numbness without one, but what it does have in common with yours is the firmness. Its not really padded much if at all and I like that - I think a lot of people prefer a little more squish?

    I have some form of this saddle on my Trek 2100 (not a WSD, just a unisex) and I LOVE it! For whatever reason, it works really well for me.

    What part of IA are you from? I spent four of the best years of my life in a little town called Grinnell.

    I'm interested in trying the Race X Lite Fit. Does anyone know the dimensions of this saddle? I know I need at least 155mm width. Is there a cutout in the shell? I've had problems with cutouts/holes, but not with saddles with just an open area in the shell, covered with foam and the top cover.
