I don't think it's about the riders weight, but the shape of the butt.
Personally, weighing about 135 lbs, I've tried Flite, Flite TT and SLR
XP. Of those three I could never get very comfortable on the SLR XP.
The problem wasn't the padding (or lack of it) but the wide shape of the
saddle, which for me caused chafing. I know of several significantly
bigger guys who seem to like the SLR a lot.
