As many of you know from another thread, I am awaiting a Titus Racer X, purchased used on ebay (I can't wait!!!) It comes with whatever womens' saddle the previous owner had (I didn't even ask because I figured it wouldn't suit me, everyone being so different). Being a newbie to mountain biking, what type of saddle do y'all recommend for XC riding (gravel roads, paved trails, and eventually single track)? Is there a particular shape/size that works best for this type of riding?

I have a Performance Contour Womens on my starter mtb that is very comfy (narrow, with a cutout, but some padding for the sitbones), but I might want something a little lighter on my Racer-X. I have used Terry Butterflies in the past on road bikes and found them very comfy, but they're a bit wide for me so give me some chafing problems in back.

I am intrigued by the new Terry Falcon X, but according to the Terry site, it's the same width as the Butterfly. I'm wondering about the men's version - the Falcon Y, since the narrower width works better for me, but it's a little longer - would that not be desirable on a mtb?

Any suggestions or info?

Thanks!
Emily
