I've got one, and like it. But, I have had a problem with durability (the sadlle material coming
apart where it wraps around the bottom about 4cm behind the nose).

I have had several of these saddles, and have liked every single one of them. I agree with the
durability problem. The material is light, and thin, so it tends to wear out pretty quick. Once your
taint is worn into this saddle though, it's all good.

Yes, two different models. The Flites have been around a few years. The SLR's are about a year old?
I've had a SLR for about a year, I ride and race up to 100km. It is fine. I think it has similar
comfort as my previous Flite. I still use a Flite on the tandem for 100-200 mile rides. My wife
rides on the SLR carbon. To the touch, everyone thinks it will be too hard. She likes it, does 100
km rides on it. Bob Parker

Is the SLR carbon the same as the regular SLR but with the padding removed? I'm just thinking
that people who mention the padding wearing off are getting a SLR carbon, or are they two
different saddles?

Thanks for all comments and sorry about the naming conflicts. It was the SLR I meant -. not the
Flite. I guess I'll give it a try. Hjalmar

I stop using mine. The edges of the saddle don't curve downwards enough and end up carving the
inside of my thighs. Changed to a Flite saddle and problem solved. Another in my club removed his
SLR for the same reason.

i tried out the SLR and it ripped the buttocks off me. i have to agree with the other posts in that
it doesnt curve down enough to prevent serious gouging into your inner thighs. but then again, its
prob all the way you sit on the saddle. people that sit more on their sitbones will work better with
that saddle. rather than people like I that sit on every bike like a time trial machine. ron
