Womens saddle? Diva Gel flow?
Hi All,
I'm thinking about buying a Diva Gel Flow for both mtb riding/racing and for training and TT's on my road bike. Are they comfortable for racing? They look quite bulky but I've seen lots of good reviews for them, although it's hard to know if the reviewers are racers or occasional leisure riders which makes a difference in what you consider comfortable. Also I wonder for mtb racing if it easy to get off the back of for steep descents?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am surprised no-one has replied to this.
I have Diva Gel Flow saddles on my road bike and my Mountain bike. I find it great on the MTB but I just can't get comfy on the road bike. The nose seems a bit too long and thick.
I prefer the Selle Italia SLK gel flow which is thinner, lighter - not as much padding but easier on the lady bits.
However, I am definitely not a racer on either bike!

A woman can never have too many bikes!
thought I'd add to this thread rather than start another one - I need a new saddle for my fsr. Would rather not lay out the £'s for a Diva gel flow....are there any other good ones that I should look at?
thank you kindly

You'd have thought my bum wouldn't be a problem - similarly horse riding related (12 years) However all it actually meant is that my 'comfortable' bum shifted around and now I have no nice squishy bum to protect my seat bones! Can't sit on a hard seat for any length of time!
Current bike saddle is too wide I think though as it's a cheapy from Halfords that I got with my first bike...
AVB, happy riding!
