Since these are popular here do they have one that's close to the flite? Or could anyone recommend a model?

I now have their prologo clone and I'm moving too much.

Also looking for some alternatives, unfortunately haven't seen anything so far

This one is similar, just longer. Just got it recently as a replacement for flite as it was uncomfortable for me on the nose side. The new one from ryet feels better

Nice find but a bit on the heavy and expensive side. I'm trying all the models around 40-60€ now. So far no luck, the aircode was good for two days third day in a row it was horrible always doing rides above 3hrs.

That's the exact reason - you get what u paid for. Don't expect decent saddle for 40$

The Ryet Saddle I purchased for £36 looks pretty good although I have yet to use it

The Ryet saddle I purchased for $40 or so looks pretty good, and feels pretty good, and I've ridden over 1000mi on it since last October. I've worn shoes that have lasted for less time and cost more. And I'm still riding it.

Hmmmm. Maybe no that the tariffs have made the prices jump up. But the saddles I got for under $40 last August have been more than decent. Thinking about getting a couple more for some other bikes I have, but I don't really want to pay almost double.

But when I think about it, even at $80, it's a bargain compared to some of boutique western branded saddles that are double that.

I just got a bike fit and the bike fitter threw a Selle Italia Flite on and it felt perfect. Did y'all land on anything? I ordered the Ryet Nago to try but contemplating just sucking it up and buying the Flite.
