I'm considering moving from treed to treeless saddle and currently looking at my options before committinh to trialling a few.
Has anyone used a treeless saddle before? Do they feel totally different to ride in ... I've literally no experience of them before. But Pete's changing shape a lot and is at the age where I think he'll continue too so flexible fitting options are useful - especially in an epidemic where getting a saddle fitter out can be hit and miss!
I think I'm going to need to need a saddle with a narrower twist as Pete is wide and my hip flexors probably wouldn't cope So I think I'm considering Ghost, Torsion, Trekka as top options. I've seen a brand Eddix but think they might be new-ish as not seen a lot of reviews. I love the look of Barefoot saddles but I don't think they'll have enough of a twist in the seat to suit our set up.
Any thoughts on any of the above?
Possibly considering HM flexible tree saddles but I'm not so keen, I don't think.
I know the pad used can have a big impact too, so lots to consider.
