I'm in the market for a new perch for the second bike. I currently have a Specialized Henge saddle on the fatbike, which I'm getting on fine with. The obvious thing is to go and buy another one the same.....except I'm not sure if I have the comp or sport (all logos etc seem to have worn away!). On the website they look same but the comp is twice the price. I'm happy with the shape - so if I knew for sure they were identical but made with fancier materials the choice would be easy (not bothered about weight etc). Is there anything else that is worth a try? I seem to have a particularly fussy backside as I've tried just about everything else WTB, SDG, Fizik and the Henge seems to be best by a mile.....
I've got henges on four different bikes at the moment oliwb, have two spares as well, one of which was removed from a fatboy,so that'll be the same as the one you're on,having a clear out soon so give me a shout if you'd like one.On inspection the shell is identical but it does seem a bit more padded than the others. If you know it suits your arse I'd stick with it!
Fizik gobi would be the other one - I get on well with both at least. Can't stand the henge on my fat bike though; I think the increase in q factor changes the position of my sit bones and it becomes massively uncomfortable so I've got an SDG aliso for that
I have a Henge on my bike, but its a bit tatty so was looking to replace it with another.
As far as I can tell, Specialized offer sport, comp and expert models in order of increasing cost and lightness. The sport and comp both have the same padding level but with the comp having hollow cro-mo rails, and the expert is slightly thinner and with titanium rails.
I have Henges on all my bikes but the 2015 Henge is a bit harder than previous versions and i've had to return one as the rails became loose.
I have a newish henge. You can have it for £10 plus postage if you like?
danjthomas - do you know which one yours is (ie. Sport / Comp?). I'd be willing to take a punt for a tenner to work out whether mines a comp or sport! I have a very strong suspicion they are exactly the same apart from the rails, bit heavier and some fancier cover materials.
Ok cool. Email me your address if you want it. Should be in my profile.
