Has anyone used the Flite Carbo saddle 150grams

I was wondering if anyone has used this saddle? I am over 200pds so I am not sure if I will break it? Just wondering..

hi
i used the saddle for about 5 months, and really liked it! but i cannot answer your question if it will break when used with 200lbs. i didn't see any weight recommendation whatsoever.

I've got a Specialize toupe at 143mm width, 150g. You can't break it.

its called the toupe, like the mans hair piece?

I use a flite titanium "gel" for training and use a flite titanium carbon shell
"evo" for raicing and the evo feels as comfortable with the addition of
allowing you to slide along the seat easily nice seat

I am over 200lbs and used this saddle for six months without issue. It then broke after my bike fell over in my house (kids ) replaced it with a tune speedneedle and found it much more comfortable.

The flyte carbon is a little harder than the original flyte saddles and not as comfortable, I returned mine to use an original flyte with Ti rails. frankly I found the SLR more comoratable than the Flyte carbon, and I too am over 200lbs.

The Carbo is basically a carbon railed version of the Flite TT. I tried one and it was no way close to the comfort of a standard flite or the SLR - the shell had no give (Flite uses a nylon shell) and the padding (what little there was) didn't seem to be of any help. About a year later I was almost tempted to try one again - then I read a post where someone called it a "torture device" - well stated and a timely reiminder that kept me from trying one again. But after all that I've got to end with the standard line that every behind is different so what works for me (or doesn't) may not be the same for others.....
