Can anyone else provide some insight/reviews into the Mistica? Perhaps the bigger size compared to the smaller size? Can you compare it to ISMs?
I've been on a Mistica the past season. I'm pretty happy overall.
I've ridden an Arione on my road bike for years, so am very used to the Fizik shape. The pad grip on the Mistica is excellent. It holds me in place, but I can still move around if I want to.
I'm on the 55mm wide version, which I love because I can slide up right on the nose, but also slide back without any chaffing to sit-up or corner.
I tried the Tritons before and really could not get comfortable with the very blunt nose. The Mistica did take some adjustments to tilt, but a slight nose down has been very comfy.
It's firmer than a ISM Attack/PN1.1, but I like that. Less padding that can compress and possibly fold into sensitive human bits.
