Sqlab is my saddle of choice as well. I have had a 60x, 60x infinergy, and 2 611s. After measuring my sit bones (11cm) at the revocation of sqlab I tried a 14mm 60x which proved to be too wide. I got a 13mm 60x infinergy, and I loved the padding but it was still too wide and chafed my inner thighs. Sqlabs said the 60x seats are 1cm wider than the 611 of the same measurement. So I got a 13mm 611 which is pretty perfect, although I would love the extra padding of a 60x. I have tried them all with no elastomers, but I find that the seat starts to make cracking noises, and I don’t really feel any type of movement of the saddle anyway when pedaling. I think you are right that at narrower widths the saddles just don’t flex as much. I figured maybe it was because I don’t weigh enough.I think I might try the bike yoke you recommended.
