How comfy/shaped do you find the turbos in comparison to the flites. And do u know what year the turbos ended ?

v tempted.

My bum prefers the Turbo, I don't get on with the Flite... Not sure if that helps any!

Circa 1996, but don't quote me on that.

So kind of period correct on anything pre 96ish

Flite and Turbo are two completely different kinds of saddles. Flite is a narrow saddle, Turbo is wider and more like the "old" saddles from the eighties (Rolls,...). If you're a taller (and heavier) person, Turbo is probably a nicer and more comfortable feel. For smaller people, Turbo can feel too wide.

For my overweight self, a Turbo saddle won't cut it.
