Anyone recommend anything?

Selle Italia SLR looks light, but not sure if it'll cope with me crashing - anybody using something good?

SLR's are pretty strong. Just glue the leather back on after you crash.

Do they make a distinction between their Road & MTB saddles?

Depends on your idea of light, but I've spent the last year riding on an [url= http://www.summittosea.co.uk/sdg-duster-cromo-rail-mtb-saddle.ir?cName=cycling-cycle-components-accessories-tools-spare-replacement-parts-seatposts-saddles-saddles ]SDG CroMo railed Duster[/url] at 230g

I've used SLR 135 and 165's and both have coped with crashes that have ripped the leather off. As I say, just glue it back on.

SDG Ti-Fly with Titanium rails, mine's 185g. Firm but a great shape.

Had one of those years back, ripped the leather, it ended up with a sharp edge that destroyed my thigh. That said, before I tore it, I think I remember it was decent.
