Weighing in at a very light 160 grams is the Selle Italia SLR saddle, which is a favourite among professional cyclists.

Boasting a carbon shell and titanium railing, the SLR is a nonexpensive way to spruce up your road bike and make sure you chalk up the miles in comfort.

The only criticism that could be leveled at this saddle is that the graphics tend to wear fairly quickly. However, if you are looking for a comfortable and light ride and are not too worried about the looks, this should not be a problem.

As far as blade saddles go the Selle Italia SLR is an excellent option.
