Narrow saddles
« on: August 22, 2024, 03:51:19 AM »
Can anyone recommend a good narrow width (130-135mm) saddle from AliExpress?

I'm currently running a Selle Italia SLR Boost (size S1), but am looking for something with a bit more padding. Weight and material are not important, only shape and comfort :)

Bumping this thread, I'm also looking for narrow saddles.

Anyone can help ?
Same request from me, it seems 143mm is the minimum width in Aliexpress.
Thanks!

This one looks good and I have it on order. There are some ultralight ones at 130mm out there, but they don't inspire confidence, so I got the lexon/ryet one. About 40€ for the 135mm, eva version

I was also looking for a 135 mm saddle but settled for this 140 mm Mixed 7d which has been great https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EyOPbSp

Bar some unpadded ones and the 135mm Ryet mentioned by KaiDeus above, there's also a bunch of variants of a San Marco Aspide 130mm clone out there, some labelled as such, some with generic/own brand names like this one:

The padding is fairly minimal though - it's fine for the trainer, but I probably wouldn't want to ride it for much more than 2 hours. Build quality feels decent though, not concerned about anything breaking/delaminating as of now.

Apart from that, there's also a 132mm (alternate listings exist with 140mm variants, so watch out) "Toseek TS50", but I don't have any experience with that ATM:

Got mine today, says 140mm on the package, measures 135mm.

Quality looks very good. the body is made from compressed fibers while the rails seem to be seperate, but molded into the body. So they should be stronger than just compressed fibers.
The cover material sits very well over the foam with no exposed edges. Should hold up well.

I have not ridden it yet though, but the quality seems to be right.

Hi,
Do you have an update to share? I have it in my shop basket and then found this thread. Few if any narrow saddles on AliX. Did you get the 3D printed version or the classic with a bit of padding?

Cheers

I have this on my gravel bike. I have a lot of miles/time on it and it is excellent. Highly recommended.

Which model do you have? 3D printed or classic? Nice to hear you rate it!

Jumping in on that one since I'm still not sure about the saddles for my kids...

currently using:
Selle SMP - 124mm width... works fine on the road bikes but is way to spendy...
SDG Fly Jr - 122mm for the CX bikes... not as pricey... is kinda okay...

lightweight chinese alternatives would be welcome...

I have this saddle in 135mm with EVA pad. It is very good if you prefer narrow near flat saddles (the pelvic support here is quite small). Very similar perfomance to my PRO Falcon, only wish it to be not short nosed.

Interesting comparison, I actually have the Pro Falcon on one bike and the Spec Mirror on another. Both might be slightly wide is my thinking, I have my fit dialled in on a specialized bike but am getting some saddle sores. Never had those issues before so was curious to try this one out.
