Hi all,
I have been using the Prologo Dimension range of saddles and have been very comfortable, however for my weight weenies project, i want look for something lighter (my Dimension NDR NACK is 162g). May be not super aggressive like sub-65g, but perhaps closer to sub-100g. I searched for a while and noticed there arent that many short nose saddle that dips below 100g. I quite like Berk's but i think their saddles are quiet large/long. Any suggestions?
i also have Prologo m5 scratch which my bottom doesnt like. I also have Bontrager Ajna(from wife's bike) that works quite well, so i think i fit a flatter profile more than a round profile saddle. i also tried my wife's Power mimic saddle (same profile as Power Arc), i can just about get on with it, but longer ride i will prefer flatter saddles.
thanks.

Some say pour 10ml water out of your bottle to save that last bit of the weight. Sorry, i go one step further, i tend to the rider off my bikes.

the Heritage version looks like it hits the spot !
my friend has one, i did find the nose a tiny bit too wide for my legs.
i saw them when i was doing some research on saddle. lovely looking saddles, but i wonder which one has similar shape to Dimension.

This. JUST got one. C-59 is awesome but I prefer Alpitude. It's only 10 grams heavier than the C59 which is stupid light.

i had a pro stealth with titanium rails prior to prologo dimension. i found the nose tad too wide for me. plus, at145g, even the carbon rail version is abit heavier than what i am aiming for.
