do the slr saddles fit like the flite ones?

After riding flite saddles for years I fancy something a little more race style.
I've been looking at the SLRs, any one know if they fit the same?

    No they're not going to because the SLR is a minimal saddle with not a lot of padding. The Flite is seen more as a comfort saddle imo.

    If you have a saddle that is comfortable and is suited to YOUR ass, I would stick with it imo. Cos the SLR might not suit you at all. I sold mine after buying a couple years ago.

    It works for me - use Flites for Commuting and DH, SLRs on all the other bikes. The basic shape is the same, but the SLR has less padding and more hull flex.

    I don't think they are the same. I could not for the life of me, get on with a Flite. However the SLR is absolutely fine.

    There is no right answer for saddles unfortunately, you just have to find what works for you
