Hi guys! after reading a lot of good things here about Berk saddles Ive decided to get one. I just cant make up my mind on wether to get the padded one or not? I was hoping to hear what most of you got. I currently use Fizik Arionne 00 and find it comfortable. This being WW I just wanted something lighter. Thanks and Happy Holidays to everyone :)

I've got two Berk carbon saddles 132mm, both different weights, 68g and 75g. So very WW still, they are the most comfortable saddles I've owned, I'm still debating if to get a padded version just to see the difference. Maybe for longer rides. Obviously we are all different shapes and sizes so for someone else they might not be right. If you don't get on with it you can always sell it.!!

I have a padded one and think it's great! I have owned numerous saddles (a few Selle Italia and Ax lightness) but this one is the most beautiful and comfortable.

I'm using the non-padded 132mm version. Because the wings flex quite a bit on these saddles, they're very comfortable (for me) even without the padding.

the non-padded works fine for me, still never give a try on padded one

Padded 132 mm for me is the best solution.

I have no experience with the padded version , but after three months I'm very happy with the 132 non-padded version ( previous saddle was a speedneedle; great saddle as well)
