Im looking for a bike saddle for cx and xc rigid riding, but have two main criteria - needs to be around 125-130mm width at the most, and moderately padded. The only thing Ive found in that range is the WTB SL8 but the padding is thin.

Can you suggest anything else? Ive tried the usual stuff, charge spoon, sdg fly, bel air, fizik etc but theyre too wide for my sit bones and cause saddle sores. Ive got a narrow saddle on my road bike which is fine but my butt takes a beating off road.

I think you might struggle with the 125mm end, never seen one that narrow, think they mainly start at 130mm? Have you looked at the Specialized Body Geometry stuff?

thanks, found an older model specialized phenom in 130mm will try that
