Which is the one that people rave about? RT? RL? SL?
RL on my Heckler and I sought the latest one out after foolishly selling the one that was on my last bike when I sold the bike! Sooooooo comfortable!
RL mate that's the one
I'm using ibeam SL's and find them comfy - presume your talking about bel airs? I've tried a ifly and it's pretty harsh, not an all day saddle imo!
Ifly carbon Ibeam here and i love it
The RT is the cheap steel railed version of the Bel Air
The SL is the i-Beam specific version
The RL is the proper cromo/ti railed (depending on what you want to spend) aftermarket version for "normal" seatposts.
Have a couple of ti railed Bel Air RL's here myself, find them to be the most comfortable saddle I've tried, and I've tried hundreds! Biggest issue is they're not easy to hang off the back off when going down steep terrain compared to most saddles, perhaps cos the back of the saddle is very pronounced.
my sdg RL ti is awesome - but it creaks like a mofo...

+1 mboy 🙂
RL for me too. I have one on each bike.
I found them a bit of a faff to get them set up corretly because of the profile of the saddle but once there they are very comfy. Best saddle i've owned.
whichever is the Ti railed one. old shape and still going strong. In cow hide too 🙂
Another vote for the Bel Air RL - just got a Ti railed one from CRC as they had / have 25% off. Replaced the Gobi XM that my bony ass just couldn't cope with - now both MTBs have the same saddle 🙂
Ti railed Bel Air RL too ...... too a while to soften up for me - but lovely and comfy now...... NO creaking here !
Ti RL & a Gobi for me on my two bikes.
RL Ti in moo cow on both bikes
