Fizik Tritone owners
Quote | Reply
Has anyone had issues with this saddle after long rides ? It feels super comfortable for about hour and half but then starts chafing the “area” and makes any ride over 40 miles discomforting. I use chamois cream and have played with lowering the saddle so I know I’m not rocking hips etc causing issue. Buddy says try zip tying the nose to make it narrower and less boxy ? Thoughts or experiences ?? Santa Rosa 70.3 in two weeks so swapping saddles is not an option at this point.

Yep, same experience here. Super comfy with zero numbness. But I too got some bad chafing at about that same time frame. I can’t really speak to any fixes as I just changed to Adamo (although not as comfy) and haven’t been on the TRI bike in about 2 years......just getting back into now though!

But yes....you are not alone!!! And I was pretty solid on the saddle so it wasn’t caused by bad form.

ass hatchet for me... even after a sprint tri I'm hurting. I tossed it to the extra parts bin long ago.

I use it and do not have any issues. Try using excessive amounts of Chammy cream.

Do you have it set up level or slightly nose down ?

Yes, bought one as soon as they came out. Destroyed the skin all around the saddle contact area. Congratulations to Fizik for making a 100% pure modern torture device. I returned it and never looked at Fizik again. Went to COBB JOFF 55. Best saddle I've ever had in my life. Changed my world, truly.

Amazing how individualized saddles can be... Ism gel saddle is incredibly uncomfortable to me and rubs the inside of my thighs but a fizik tritone is perfect to me...

This is why you need a good shop willing to lend out saddles to try.

All the problems I had with the Tritone were fixed with the Mistica. That said, I wouldn't switch until after your race.
