Skierchickie,

I have both saddles here and compared them to answer your question. When I view them front-to-back, I would have to say that their upward slope at the rear is about the same. However, if I look at where I actually sit, the Vitesse slopes downward from the middle of the saddle to the outer edges, making the saddle more rounded. The Glamour is much flatter at the point of the saddle where I sit, with much less sloping to the outer edges.

I hope I've explained that so you can picture it. It makes it clear to me, upon comparison, why things felt kind of smashed with the Vitesse, because of that rounding in the middle. The Glamour is much more supportive and the weight distribution is more spread out because the "perch" is flatter.

I don't feel like I've explained that very well but it's the best I can do!
