So I really like the Fizik Arione. I have the standard black model. I am looking to buy another for a 2nd bike, and just wonder if the other arione models are significantly different(or are they just different colors…(white w/ Rainbow stripes??), or if folks have found any other saddles that are more comfortable than this gem. This is for road bike use.
Thanks,
HC
Best saddle I’ve ever owned but realize that saddles are very personal. The color won’t change anything.
I love that seat. We have bonded.
If it’s just for a road bike, I’d try to find a deal on an Aliante. I borrowed a bike one day and did a four hour ride on an Aliante and never once thought about discomfort. I find that the Arione takes some getting used to (flat and hard), but the Aliante was immediately comfortable.
well, you could get an Arione Carbon but considering the price I’d just get the coolest color standard Arione you can find. I love mine but it’s a boring black as well.
boring black? like shorts, it hides the dirt better, besides, when your ass is on it, what difference does it make? I tried to get a colored one, but the price was higher than the black one.
To paraphrase from “The Apprentice” - your ass doesn’t know the difference between a black one and a colored one!
