There is no mention of weight or much of anything.

I have tried copying and pasting link but cant find anyone else who sells this.

Thanks

PS if you own one, any good?

    I thought it might be that one, heard it was ok, its like 50 everywere and I need a saddle mine is like rocks.

    Its the SDG TI FLY right, as cant see anything on the RL side of things.

    As long as its below 200gr, if not will get the charge spoon.

    Thanks
  • I have the SDG TI FLY (Yeti version) and it's very comfortable :)

    Hey

    Thanks guys just dont want to buy, and then take back because its too heavy, as bought a carbon seatpost and no point of a heavy saddle.

    Thanks again

    The Bel Air RL Ti is way heavier than quoted, I think it's about 260g quoted, 289g actually. I knew that was the case before buying it though, love Bel Air railed saddles :)

    I'd assume the Fly is a bit heavier than claimed.

    If you wanted as light as possible and really didn't care about comfort you could have got an IBeam setup. My Bel Air RL Ti on a Thomson Elite seatpost was about 100g heavier than an IBeam Bel Air SL and post.

    So it is the bel air?

    It does not state this on merlin, called them and they said its about 200gr.

    Uhmm if its more then will go with the spoon as everyone has said its great.

    I cant find a seat that is light and comfy see. I think its one of those delemas. :cry:

    Well I can but it costs hundreds almost, and aint paying that for the amount of time my a@@ is on the seat. :lol:

    No sorry, it's nothing to do with the Bel Air, I was just highlighting I've got 3x different SDG saddles and all have been about 10% over budget. I do really rate them though, hence having 3 :)

    I'd also imagine the IFly Ibeam setup would be lighter than normal Ti Fly + Carbon seatpost.

    I ordered it and phoned them back at shop.

    They are so nice, they said its the ti-fly, rl should not be in there as there is not rl ti-fly.

    Its like 180gr they said.

    I have heard good thing as well from the sdg.

    Thanks guys for the advise.

    The RL part just stands for "rail" on SDG saddles, I wouldn't worry whether it's there or not ;)
