Ok. I have really hard choosing saddle for my DH.
Is this something to recommend,




If not, what is your opinion. Also thankful for pictures on suggestions.

Saddles are all personal pref. because everyone has a different ass. I never liked those long dildo-shaped Tioga ones personally. Titec are the best fit for me. The Ithys Amore is my favorite. Or the Berzerkr.

I had a Tioga XL, pretty good seat. I opted to run a WTB seat later though, I just didn't need that much seat.

For me, Selle Italia is the best. I hate WTB, they hurt my "danger zone" really bad. Go to a lbs and sit on a few.

The Azonic Hot Seat worked well for me, never bending or tearing. The only drawback to that is the weight. The size was perfect. I switched it out though because it got old, and the padding mostly died. I now ride an SDG Bel Air, and it is great, except for the flimsy rails. I bent it on my third ride slightly, but was able to bend it back. If I can just avoid crashing, I think that Bel Air is perfect. The Ti railed saddles I've used (Selle San Marco and WTB) both bent quickly and BADLY. I would not use a Ti railed saddle again.

Definitly try some out for yourself if at all possible... I love my WTB, but I know at least a dozen people who hate WTB saddles. My buddy's Titec Berserker makes me go numb.

Just try a few, and find out what fits you - a better question than "what saddle should I buy?" would be, "WTB & Selle Italia saddles fit me (or whatever ones do).. What brand/model should I go with?"

i really like the new sdg I-beam set ups. the seat and the seatpost together weigh the same as a regular saddle. they have all different kinds too, xc, fr, dh, bmx, road etc etc... so whatever fits your bum.

Believe it or not, the most comfortable sadle I've used was a SDG Gordo that came on a Stinky I bought a couple of years ago. I've found the Titec Berzerkyr to not be comfortable after riding 30 minutes or so. I also have a WTB saddle which is ok too. Betther than the Titec but not as good as the SDG.
