Bottom Line:
My Flite finally wore out after 8 years. My LBS recommended the Formula FXR. I tried it on a four day trip to Flagstaff. I did rides of 3 to 5 hours during the trip; climbing, swoopy single track, downhill, rocks, roots, etc. The saddle was great from the start. No getting used to it, no sore spots, no breaking in period. Full price is a little high, but is your arse worth it? Mine is.
