Decent Lightweight but comfy Saddle any suggestions?

MaK-71

Owdo My old Spesh Toupe saddle has died.....a big crack up one side of it underneath Grrrr! been riding a Toupe 143 for around 4-5 years now.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for a decent lightweight saddle I quite fancy a change.
Looking at possibly changing perhaps to a Fizik antares Vs any other suggestions?
Deffo need a channel or cut out to stop the boyz going numb!

(I am pretty hefty 90kg rider got a Charge spoon on the MTB find that ok for upto 2 hrs
Toupe becomes uncomfy around 4hrs)

Any advice welcome

Erm, if it works why change? Get yourself another Toupe (struggled not to snigger typing that) and keep your arse happy.

Mmmm I know ur right I just fancied a change, but it will probably end up a costly round the houses affair! ....... Anyone got a decent Toupe for sale drop me a PM

Get a romin test saddle, see how that compares. I've had three now and the evo with ti rails is my favourite.

I've got a Romin and it's brilliant. I dont think there is much difference between the Toupe and Romin shape, so as said - stick with what works. I recon a saddle is pretty much the last part you should experiment with once you find what works for you.

If you fancy a change - you could always buy a different colour!!

Make sure you have the correct clamp for the Pro as the carbon rails are a different size and shape to traditional rails.

I have a Toupe Pro and S-Works. The S-Works is the comfiest saddle I own.

Ahhh good point! Just in time ..... my credit card was twitching!
Do you know if a Thompson elite seatpost will be suitable for the carbon rails?

Grill

Yup, works just fine.
