I thought this thread was about saddles.

Specialized. Snapped an ancient Phenom recently so got a Power Expert. I like the short look, but in all honesty I don’t really notice much difference between seats.

I use triathlon saddles. Either a Cobb Flow Max, or an Adamo (Prologue).  Gravel bike has a Selle Itallia T2 tri saddle.  Without the cut out and wider nose of the tri saddle on the bikes, pedalling is a miserable crushing experience sitting down... Literally.

Fizik, most recent was an Aliante. I've mostly got on fine with them. Had some Fabric saddles that were ride-ending.

specialised power saddles seem to do it for me, the one that came on my new scott spark was rapidly replaced as it was very uncomfortable

Nukeproof  horizon  enduro,  currently reduced to £35 at CRC, think you can add SALE10 code to that as well.

WTB Rocket V. Right size and shape for me, and loads of dusty stock of the base model from online sellers where I am for about £5.50 each

Previously Specialized Alias but they all ended up snapping which it seems is how they all ended for almost everyone.

SDG Belair 2. I'm still running one and seem to be one of only 3 people on the planet who liked the 2.

Newest saddle is the Ergon which I'm really liking.

I do have an original Belair on another bike which is okay, does the job, but actually feels a bit too squishy.

I've pulled the trigger on Bel-Air V3 Lux Alloy for £42 from Merlin

Wanted the orange trim to match my bike 🤣 hope it suits my arse. I've been riding round for 5 years on whatever cheapo Spesh saddle came on the bike

I use the bel air v3 alloy on my commuter, full suspension and ebike as the shape really works for me

And the new v3 max version looks like another improvement in the design

I have a couple of specialized and one old bontrager elite thingy. The bonty is horrid but I never seem to replace it 12 years in.

Charge Spoon or a Madison Flux, which are both the same, seem to suit my big lardy arse

I'm super impressed with the Bridge Comp I've got on my bike. Super comfortable.

Used to be a charge spoon, but more recent bikes have been SQLabs 611 and I am delighted with it BUT (intentionally big but, not that I have a big butt) every arse is different as demonstrated by Mrs P as we go around and around trying to find the right one, I've lost count but feels like 10 ish and still not there I don't think.

Also the shorts you wear play a part to so not a simple, "they say its good so buy one of those", sadly.
