I'm concerned about the side strength and possible sagging. I weigh about 300lb.
Hey Bob,
I think I saw the max rider weight listed at 220 lbs on this saddle.
heavier but much more comfortable
i'm 5'9 and weigh 165-lbs, and i rarely have issues with seat comfort, yet i found this saddle to be a noticeable improvement over my prior SI's. i bought this saddle for a new build due to extremely attractive pricing (found on sale) and i am incredibly happy with it.
pros - comfort is amazing, gel padding really works. thickness takes a little getting used to, but streamlined shape helps avoid a bulky feel.
cons - the only thing i can think of is that it adds 50-100g in weight vs. most other selle italias, but that's more than offset by the increased riding comfort in my opinion, especially if you can find it for just over $100.
Great value in an incredibly comfortable saddle when you can find it on sale.
i've ridden it several times, but not enough to be able to comment on wear/tear, so will update later if needed.
I haven't tried the SLR max flow, so can't compare/contrast. sorry.
Hello there Rickshaw.
¿Have you tried the SLR Max Flow? and if you have, ¿which do you prefer and why? Thanks a lot
