A good value for the moneyFeb 14, 2010
By Glengary
Anyone who is current with trends in cycling equipment knows that Fizik is one of the popular makers of road bike saddles. Saddle purchase is as personal as your own sit bones and for many cyclists, seeking the right saddle is a quest over time - and if you find the right saddle for your needs you stick with it - until upon seat wear replacement you find your seat has been discontinued - and then the quest resumes. I ride 3 times a week about 15 miles and 25 miles on the weekend and the personal goal is eventually to do a century. I cycle for exercise and endurance and not for speed (I'm in my 50's)and ride a Specialized Roubaix. My reason for sharing this is to put more context into what kind of person bought and uses the saddle. When first getting on the bike after installing the seat, my first thought was whether the seat was too hard. However, upon riding with it I find that it is very comfortable and I really like it. I will update my review after I do a 50 miler and then a metric century as what is comfortable over 25 miles mat vary over 50 miles, 64 miles, and 100 miles. So far it does not disapoint!
UPDATE JANUARY 2012: This seat certainly satisfies the 50 mile and 62 mile distances. I like this seat so much that I just bought another over the holiday when I saw it on sale on Amazon. For reasons expressed above, I fiogured it would be prudent to by a spare.

Heavenly SaddleAug 01, 2010
By Jmags
I searched high and low for a saddle that worked for me and I have to say that I found it with the Fizik Aliante. I've been put on 3000 miles on the one I have and am going to buy 6 more of these saddles so I never have to worry about looking for a saddle again.
