Has anybody tried this saddle? I have been using Turbomatic 3 Gel for years but they are worn out. I have a new Turbomatic 4 Gel but now I am constantly getting saddle sores. Considering the Terry Fly also, but worried that the padding is too much.

I used one on my Nobilette for about 2 years and really liked it but yer butt will determine if it's right for you. I use a SSM Rolls now...since it's n a Merckx, couldn't use a Terry on that.

I have found inner peace with the Terry Fly saddle. All my bikes have them. Yes, they seem too soft, but the fart-slot makes up for that, and the padding does not go to places that would hurt. That allows the saddle to be softer than would otherwise work.
It's also a nice and narrow saddle -- which means it happens to fit my pelvis. Whether it fits yours or not would require testing it out.

I've been riding a Fly for a little over a year now, after my old Flite finally succumbed to the damage that I inflicted while using it on my MTB and I tossed its Flite Gel replacement (it was creating more problems than it was solving - all those seams! and the Gel seemed to harden). I absolutely love it, with one tiny caveat. If you're used to riding a saddle with a kick up in the tail (see generally, flite), you may be a bit disappointed with the flat profile of the Fly. It's generally super comfy, but there's not much to brace against when climbing.
