            I have had several of the SDG Fly saddles on various bikes in the past. They all came as stock saddles and I fee like they do a good job. In my experience the Cro-mo rails are sturdy weather on my DH bike or my trail bike. This is the same as the Ti version just with Cro-mo rails. The light weight nylon base has a bit of give to help with comfort. The Peri-Canal runs all the way from front to the rear of the saddle to help with comfort in any pedal position. One of my favorite features of the saddle is the Kevlar side. You are going to crash at some point, or even will lay your bike down in the parking lot while getting ready for a ride. The Kevlar is very durable and I have a harder time wearing this material out the saddles with leather (or leather-like) sides. It also gives a little bit of grip to the saddle to help control the bike.

              In my experience the saddle has good comfort, some out there are more comfy to me, but I have no desire to take this saddle off of my new bike until it wears out. I have not bent a rail on any of the 3 versions of this saddle I have had so I expect it to last a long time. They do have several colors to choose from and may bike companies use these as OEM equipment as well. To sum up: They are not expensive, have good comfort, durable design, and have I like the aesthetics. It is a win - win for me. It definitely is one that would be on my short list for an aftermarket option.
