Concor vs Concor light

Posted on
  • Got a Concor on my current road bike and i love it but i'm not sure it'll look right on the Genesis Aether I've just ordered on ride to work scheme. Is the Concor light pretty much the same shape to sit on or is it massively different? I know saddles are a difficult one to rate as everyone is different in what they feel comfortable on but any thoughts would be appreciated.

  • I love the regular Concor (it's my saddle of choice), but a Concor Light, meh. The Light seems to be narrower and a bit harder.

  • Yeah, I thought it might be a bit narrower maybe like an old Flite? I have one of them and it's pretty comfy too.

  • I love the regular Concor (it's my saddle of choice), but a Concor Light, meh.

    i'm the opposite

  • I"ve only ridden a concor a few times but my concor light is a little bit narrower and flatter. Padding seemed about the same.

  • To me the feeling of a Concor Light is indeed comparable to a Flite. Might not be the case for everyone though. If you like the Flite why not just get one of those? They are better looking than Concor Lights.

  • Yeah, the flight is better looking but I'm after a white saddle and I can only find the old style one in black.

    Also find the Concor a bit more comfortable and I was hoping the Concor Light would be the same.

  • Yeah white Flites are pretty rare and go for top dolla when they come up. Just go with a Concor, it wouldn't even look rediculous (if this is indeed the bike you've got on order):

  • I'm actually getting the grey one but even looking at it on that I'm thinkin it could work. Much better than the attempt I made on paint at work today. :)

  • Also got some Panaraser pasela TGs on the way and some black chromoplastics so I guess they'll kinda complement it. Maybe

  • If you're really going to use it as a commuter, a white saddle may not be the wisest choice as you'll probably be doing a lot of riding in jeans. Black doesn't look half bad either:

  • Whaaa, that looks rad. Wasn't 100% sure I'd made the right choice with the tyres but that looks awesome. Realy like the black saddle and bar tape too. Don't think I'll be riding it in jeans much but I'll be riding it in some pretty miserable conditions so I reckon the black's a winner for that too. Cheers for the photoshoppin, it's got me well inspired now. Too bad I have to wait a month to get the bike now.
