chinese carbon saddles

[timtomtam3]

Has anyone tried this Elita One SLR replica saddle? Does the 3D padding have differentiated densities or is it uniform across the entire saddle?

or the RT04 made by Ryet?

I'm curious on this one (in particular for Superflow Boost in 130 mm) as well, as it is getting a lot of praise from fitters online.

I'm currently running a Kocevlo saddle I find the saddle itself comfortable, did not experience any issues even on longer (6h+) rides, apart from the saddle taking a smaller toll on my bibs. The main issue I have with this particular saddle is a recent creaking noise.

 You are in good company then. I have a genuine Superflow SLR saddles and it creaks. Drives me batty plus they are not that comfortable for me. My 15 year old Prologo scratch pro is still the best I have found.

Why Chinese guys only make those saddle in wide versions? I need some good 130-135mm saddles

Hi all,
Sorry if this has been answered before.  New here and have trawled the threads to find the answer, without success.  And the reviews on AliExpress aren’t clear

Does anyone know the nearest lightweight & reasonably-priced saddles that are similar to the Selle Italia SLR Superflow Boost (130mm) and the Specialized Power (143mm) saddles?  Not looking for counterfeit, just similar shapes / dimensions.

Trying to trim my bike’s weight down and already have those saddles (which work for me, fit-wise).

Thanks

Same here. I am looking for a relatively long flat surface narrow (~130 mm) saddle. I broke 2 out of 3 of my beloved Pro Falcon's and looking for a replacement. SLR Superflow got my attention because of super wide channel which I did not see that often on neutral saddles. All of Alix copies and replicas are 140mm wide which does not suite me.

I just saw it today, but more around 100€ which is hard for me to swallow
When you say discounts, how did you get them ?

There were some sales going on during the two weeks or so I was monitoring their prices, which were fluctuating a bit but the cheapest I logged them were:

• OdinZeus: 73.39 EUR (- 8 EUR discount code) = 65.39 EUR on 2025-03-06
• Ryet K1: 67.69 EUR (- 8 EUR discount code) = 59.69 EUR on 2025-03-20.

Those discount codes are displayed during sales on the front page of AliExpress and were 8 EUR  when your order was > 59 EUR, 12 EUR if total > 79 EUR... or something like that.

I would not pay 100 EUR for them either, but if you are not in a hurry and keep checking their prices, they come down around those numbers during sales

Just had one of these Ryet Aircode T40A saddles arrive today - first impressions seem pretty good - look forward to testing over the next few weeks.

Just got around to my first long ride on it yesterday, big fan of it. One thing to be aware of is that it may require a position change from your existing saddle because it's a little thick (in my case I had to move the seatpost down a bit) but once I got the position right, very happy with it.
