What modern saddle would work for a Regal rider?
It is time for a saddle with some type of relief, whether a groove or depression. I've been happy with the Selle San Marco Regal for a long time, but I am hitting more potholes and don't want to risk damage. With so many saddles out there, and fit such a personal matter, I wonder if there are any suggestions from others who have switched from the Regal, or who may have an insight. Thanks!

I rode the Regal for a long time back in the day. I'm currently loving the Specialized Romin Evo in 155mm width. Amazing saddle for me.

I liked the Romin 145 (155 was too wide) Fizik Aliante is also pretty similar. I use a Prologo Kappa2 on my road bike and Regal Ti on my CX

Specialized and Prologo. I've begun to research them. I appreciate the suggestions!

Get your weight off your saddle going over bumps....it will save your seat tube as well as your body.

Just had a pressure mapping session today with mine and had 0 pressure on my soft tissues. Literally 0, even in the drops.
