SI Turbomatic, SSM Aspide Glamour, Ruby...T-shaped Saddle Chat HERE!

SI Turbomatic is very domed. 153mm width. I think it seems more narrow due to being very domed. Way too narrow for my 130mm sit bones.

Yeah, I'd say it feels almost narrower than the 143 Jett. I think if someone had 120mm sit bones or narrower that it might be a good fit. I rode it again tonite with my tri shorts...that was especially uncomfortable.

My girlfriend who has sit bones approx. 110mm thinks the SSM Turbomatica is the bomb.

I'd totally believe it! I wish my sit bones were narrower. It really is a nice saddle. I have high hopes for the SSM Glamour Arrowhead, since they are so similar in footprint, but the Glamour isn't domed.

I had a 155 Jett. I'd demoed a 143 and it really did not work for me. The 155 Jett was close - I put almost 4500 miles on it - but the TGF is better.

My old 155 Lithia is on my commuter and does just fine in the more upright position. I'm between 125 and 130 and the TGF is great, but I can tell if it were even a little narrower, it would be a problem.

My DH is on his 3rd day of riding the SI Turbomatic Gel Flow, and he is liking it more and more each ride. I can't even hazard a guess as to how wide his sit bones are...but prior to the Turbo, he was riding a 143 Toupe, and prior to that he was on a cheap Performance 130mm saddle. So apparently, he is one of those odd specimens that can ride ANY width saddle and be totally fine.

Hmmm...that leads me to suspect that his sit bones must be 120 or less. Which makes my theory hold water--I think if I had narrower sit bones that the Turbomatic would have been perfect. I'm jealous of your hubby!

I wish my sitbones were 5-10mm narrower. It would make life so much easier.

I'm on a Jett 143. I could use a little more space for my sitbones, but I'm getting spots on the backs of my thighs that could easily turn into chafing on longer rides (though I was sort-of okay for 44 without having shaved). Width-wise, the 155 Spec saddles may be better, but I don't think my thighs would be happy about that. Hm.
