Looks like extralight just released a new saddle. Hefty price tag at $465

That's a Gelu K-3, isn't it?

What I really like, though, is that they post the picture with all the saddle measures (widths at different lengths etc), every saddle manufacturer should do that.
Minimum bike categories required in the stable:
Aero bike | GC bike | GC rim bike | Climbing bike | Climbing rim bike | Classics bike | Gravel bike | TT bike | Indoors bike

They do look to be the same with the Gelu having more holes in it.

Agree with the measurements, should become standard practice with manufactures.

It is, they even mention collab with Anghel from Gelu. I might be out on deep water here but I want to recall that Gelu sometime mentioned they were making a saddle for another brand. Could be wrong.
Most likely Extralite only put their stamp of approval on this one

Normal (oval clamps) ones. Oval rails are supposed to be 9mm but probably have a few +- tenths off.
8.4 will work just fine with a good post (plate + yoke)
