I prefer the look of the WTB!
Also i know that WTB make very comfortable saddles.
Anyone else?

Have SDG Bel air and its comfy,WTB have a good reputation.Spec BG saddles have been reviewed in MBR as hard and uncomfortable,I have one and its in the cupboard!Nuff said?But if you want an honest opinion its SHIT!

I find Scec BG saddle with titanium rails extremely comfy.
Saddles are a personal thing, depends on riding position and the shape of your bum.

And whether it can tolerate hard things round the ring piece.

I have SDG Bel Air & am very pleased with it - comfy in a basic, well built no frills, grooves, holes or whatever well, & not so big as to not be able to move around easily on. Very well made too.
Previously had a Spec BG sporty one, which was just too thin, so if you look at those go for one of the more padded ones.

I have had several recent saddles like Fizik nisene, WTB something and at the mo using SDG B.Air.

From quality side i would say

1 - Fizik
2 - WTB
3 - SDG

from comfort

1 - SDG
2 - WTB
3 - Fizik

So i suppose as an average maybe the WTB is better for comfort/quality but SDG Bel air is more comfy.

I've got the SDG Bel Air cow saddle on both my bikes (yes - I am a sucker, but there's a long history of all things cow-related in the family! Moo!).

The saddle is very nice and about on a par with my previous favourite - the Fizik cow saddle (made from real cow!). In fact, the SDG is better because it's a print and the cow-ness doesn't wear off.

Forgot to say, I had a WTB Rocket as OEM on one of the bikes. I hated it.
I would have to say the saddle to get is the one that fits your arse.
Sorry to be blunt about it, but thats basically it.
When you are next in a public place take a look around you - watch all the backsides wandering by. Not too closely though, we don't want you to be arrested!
You will notice there are many different shapes and sizes, and that even some slim fit people have large posteriors, others small ones.
This means that the right saddle for me isn't always the right one for you. And choosing a saddle on its pimpyness is a surefire way to a sore bum.......
