Aero Hunter Merlin

Im definitely looking at this. I need a bigger saddle and like the loops for suspenders.
the flex, merlin, or a cruzr are definitely where im looking.
im do. My current saddle is s 2007 trophyline lol
 
I got a merlin and New flex in the mail today. I'm gonna be honest. I've liked Aero hunter in the past. Incredible quality, good people. These new designs are not good. The bridge loops are not flat where they tie into the saddle, this leads to them digging into your legs. If you're built like a stick I'm sure you'll be fine. If you squat or deadlift and actually have a build. Don't even consider it. I'm a 33/34 waist, the merlin is actually even worse than the new flex. I have the old flex and will be using that until my method comes in. If I don't like that I'm sticking with my old flex for this season.

Man, I don’t agree with this at all. I’m 190 34/36 in waist and own the old flex and Merlin. I’m no stick figure guy, I’m short and pushing into a size 2 but wear a 1. I found the Merlin to be extremely comfortable with no pressure points at all. There is a ton of adjustments in that saddle. I keep the leg straps loose and a longer bridge, this has been excellent for me. I don’t have any issue with the bridge loops being flat and digging in my legs. Compared to the old flex, I prefer the Merlin all day.
 
Got 2 more weeks and I should have the Merlin in my hands. Can’t wait to give it a try.

Mine fits me great too. Very similar waste and went with size 1 too. Couldn’t be happier with it.
