I recently bought the 611 active carbon model when it was on sale. I did all my sitbone measuring, and to my surprise, I had narrower sitbones than I thought I would. 11cm to be precise. I opted for the 13cm saddle based on this measurement. So far I have been happy with the SQlab saddle. Its shape takes a bit of getting used to, but once you find the 'pocket' where everything feels right, it is more comfortable than previous saddles I have tried. I am on the medium elastomer right now, but might give the soft one a try. The literature I was given with the saddle warned NOT to ride it without an elastomer as it will cause too much flex in the wings and could lead to failure. If you were informed otherwise by SQlab that would be interesting to know. Thinking of getting one for my wife to replace her Terry saddle, but I am not sure just how 'unisex' these saddles will actually fit.
