The Chromag Lynx is cushy and narrower than the Trailmaster. I've got a few thousand miles behind me on a Lynx that's on my gravel bike. For the mtb's I have been liking the firmer saddles from Chromag - the Mood and that new one I put on my geared hardtail, the Lift.

Been pretty happy with the brooks cambium on any of the bikes that I sit for any period of time.

Syncros Tofino is my current favorite.

What's your opinion of the Belcarra V? I had my eye on one of those as they are light and short and have a nice profile.

Still loving the SQLabs 611.

I really like the Ergon SM Enduro. Relatively flat profile, narrow nose without a hook that gets caught on shorts/pants. Big channel in the middle. Medium firm.

The one thing I'd add to fitting is if you've tried measuring before and still not been comfortable, try sizing down. I'm 5'8", size medium in like everything, but all the measuring guides were putting me in M/L (~14+ cm saddles), and I could never get comfortable on long rides. I probably spent $500+ on fucking saddles over several years. Then I tried sizing down with the Ergon and it was like the heavens parted, rainbows, unicorns, etc.

I'd put the SQLabs as firmer than a Silverado. I've tried a couple of them (13 & 14cm) and they were just too firm. The WTB Koda is like a shorter, cushier Silverado.

So, the Trailmaster is very comfortable to sit on, but the nose is slightly wider than I'd like. I might let Westy measure my ass after all and keep shopping.

Is there a saddle like a Trailmaster but with a more narrow front/nose?

send me your address (again) and I'll mail you a box of saddles to try

dead serious

I assume the catch is that he has to return them unwashed

obviously that would be a perk

the catch is he has to relieve my garage of them, maybe hand them off for a stinkbike build.

I have saddles I got for testing, rode like 10 times and then never touched again....some of them ridden once. At the very least it can help narrow down options

It's a trick, it's really just a box full of Fizik Gobis in different colours.

Woo's saddles are all just size/color variations of the same thing

Got any 90s era SDG kevlar saddles in there?

I have received several saddles from teh Woo to try out.
ALL are stunning in white, and will compliment my Pit Vipers nicely.

Had a recommendation for a WBP pure-V for endurance stuff. I can say that I don't hate it nearly as much as I have hated other seats recently, which is generally a good thing.
