IMO, the Fizik VSX edition saddles, with the deep channel rather than a cutout, are just as effective.
I agree. The great thing with this is that it also retains the narrow nose, where the saddles with cutouts (eg JOF, Adamo etc) that I have seen have all been too wide for me.
I just bought a new road bike, and it came with an Antares VS on it. It’s actually a much better saddle than I expected it to be. Not sure I like it as much as the Toupe but I don’t have enough time on either saddle yet to make a definitive decision.
