I received Bucklos R-LEIS S8000 3D printed saddle today. First impression? Quite good. I don't know what I was expecting when they said 3D printed but the top layer is softer than I had anticipated. No complaint, just an observation. Went on a ride of about 30 miles and feels rather good. This too against what I was expecting so a nice surprise overall. The rails, base, top everything looks like one cohesive unit without joints. Nice.

The mesh pattern remains a concern as far as cleaning goes. And once rain starts I can imagine only way to clean this would be to pull it off the bike and give it a proper wash. Weighs in at 184 grams which isn't weight weeny spec but I am intentionally chose it over the lighter model and okay with it.

I guess the only thing I am not happy with is the price : $130 + tax on Amazon. I guess this is why we go to Aliexpress. However I checked on Aliex, and this exact models isn't available there.

Are you still happy with the saddle ?

Is there anywhere or has anyone identified which saddles are copies of which?

I'm after a sharply tapering flat saddle with a relatively broad nose, like a Flite or a Nago Evo R4. Most of these seem to be obvious power or pro stealth copies, which just don't taper correctly to be able to get your hips rotated forward.

I have 2 Ryet saddles, my 'pro stealth' one will be 2yrs in next March and it's still holding up, as comfortable as ever. One of the best items I bought on Aliexpress, for sure

regarding different designs, not sure if there's any 'equivalence sheet' ready, but I highly suggest checking Ryet's store, I believe they have the bigger lineup in 3D saddles so maybe you can find the shape you're looking for there.
this one looks similar to the Nago, but not quitly the same https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005006994952096.html

now, of course comfort and position are always dependent on each one's body-saddle combination, but I find the 'Pro Stealth' shape works really well for a more aero position, hips rotated forward
the wider nose kinda provides 2 support points for you to rotate forward and put weight in the nose, and for me it's reasonably comfortable
