I need to lose about 5mm to be able to fit a 150mm dropper & was thinking a low profile saddle would help.
Any suggestions?

Fizik tundra is about as flat as you are going to get in terms of mtb saddles i reckon.

Not a Fizik; they're some of the tallest saddles going.

Probably a Selle SLR or a Pro Turnix. They're about the lowest saddles I've used (out of loads of saddles)

Specialised Henge is low profile.
I found a Fabric scoop low enough for my needs.

SLR is low profile
RF Atlas similar but more mountain bikey
There's a Nukeproof Race saddle as well which is thin with shallow rails but it's not very comfortable

WTB Volt is ~7mm lower than the Spoon / VL1205 shape and imo a nice upgrade, similar but comfier.

I think my mid nineties Selle Italia flight is probably the lowest saddle ever made! Mega comfy and about 0.5mm from rails to bum.... ๐Ÿ˜‰
