I'm looking into getting one. I tried the Crown C but I'm curious about this saddle. The FX3 seems to fit my style of riding more. Does anybody have one? What is their experience with it?

I have one and love it. I have to sell it and get a different width. it doesn't fit my horse. I love the way it sits. It sits you on your hinny. It is very comfortable.

depends on how you ride ... I ride more on my pockets as I was brought up and rode with a cutting trainer before anything else. I like the FX3's ... I got to demo one and liked it :) Now I get to save my pennies for one of my own!!

I notice that the Crown C sits you more centered? If the FX3 sits you more on your rear, wonder which one is better if you have longer legs, I am 5'6"
I'm 5'7" with a solid 36" inseam and I liked the FX3 as I said before ... just to help ya keep it in perspective. But it is how you ride that will determine if you like to ride more on your pelvis or on your pockets ... make sense?

I'm 5'7" and leggy and like the crown c because I ride more upright with my legs underneath me. It is absolutely my favorite saddle. I don't think height determines which one you will like, just riding style.

Not to steal the thread but - Are they discontinuing the Racer for the FX3? Does anyone really know the differences between the two? They sound pretty similar on Martins website. (I'm not talking about the Crown C).
