Anyone using a Selle Italia Flight Gel saddle on their DH rig? I blew up my WTB Speed V last weekend and man was my ass hurting this weekend due to the missing padding. I was thinking about just getting another one, but I found a pretty good deal on a Flight. Whaddya think?

its not so much about padding, it's about the shape of the saddle.

well myself and a few others here use the normal Flite (and some like myself wont use anything else) and love them. cant imagine the gel being anything but good too

yeah, thats why I was asking, the Selle Italia has a much longer and narrower nose than the WTB Speed saddles. Just wondering how that works out a DH rig.

I love mine. I recommend white.

Haha! That's exactly the one I had in mind.

Thought it would look tight on the white fly...

It's like a white hat - the good guy. And white saddles are very fast.

They actually hold up really well too. I put two full seasons on my last one and it had plenty of life left on it when I sold the bike.

'nother thumbs up for the Flite....don't bother with the Gel unless it's on clearance or something. It doesn't add much comfort, just a little weight.

I like Flites, don't get me wrong...but THIS is the best $50 I ever spent on a saddle (for my road bike). I use the $40 version without the anatomic cutout on my DH bike. Light as a Flite but not so spendy, and the $40 has a slightly dropped nose that makes it quite nice. It has held up to quite a few crashes, as well.
