I bought this saddle after my arione's leather near the nose began to come undone (currently being warranteed). I thought the arione was great for up to three hours of riding for me, but on the trainer or beyond that, my buddy went numb.

With the toupe saddle (horrible name), no numbness! I chose the wider width for my birthing hips (actually wider sit bones). The cutout is in an obvious place, but what I like is the thigh clearance similar to the arione; this just makes a ride more pleasant. Some notes of caution: this seat may seem at first hardly padded at all. Give it a few rides and you will prob. become accustomed to a new seat. The lack of padding actually is nice after you get used to it and provided you are wearing good bike shorts. It does flex a bit under body weight a little more than other saddles, so that takes some getting used to.

Pros: perenial bliss, thigh clearance.

Cons: takes some getting used to, prob. only available at a specialized dealer

Obviously saddles are very person specific, but if you want to ever please your lover again, i recommend you buy this ;)
