When considering sit bone width and saddle width, you have to bear in mind that the width of the sit bones varies depending on the height of the handlebar relative to saddle. If you lower the handlebar, your pelvis tilts forward and a narrower part of the sit bones comes into contact with the saddle. That's why saddles for upright riding are wide, and saddles for aggressive riding are narrow.
