I brought a SLR XP off ebay. Its an old one but in good condition and seems to suit me. I was going to uy a new on for the best bike, but it seems they have changed. The old one has a drop nose and kick up at the tail, the new one is flatter... See pics...

New

Question is... Considering I dont sit on the nose or tail, mainly the centre third...Do the saddles feel the same or drastically different?

    I also have an old one that I love dearly but is starting to look a little tatty, the new style looks totally different to me. The original SLR-XP looks more similar in profile to some of the high end Prologo saddles.

    I have an older SLR Fibra with the dipped nose and one of the new flat SLR Kit Carbino's - they are both equally comfy and feel the same
