Strengths:    Simply the best saddle outthere I even use the Arione Wing Flex for my MTB bike and always feels great on short and long rides. It's very strong, light, comfortable, cool looking, elegant, just the BEST!

Weaknesses:    None

Bottom Line:   
Best ever saddles I have ever had. Very comfy, soft, ligth, cool looking, well made. I ride long distances and my butt always feels good, never get tired because of the critical zones Fizik knows how to handle. Through out the years I have had Selle Italias, San Marcos, Specialized among others and no one compares to Fizik, period!!

Strengths:    Looks nice... It came with my Bianchi 928 T-Cube, so I didn't have to *really* pay for it, I guess--just trade it in.

Nice & light


Weaknesses:    Not as "flexy" as advertised (?)


Bottom Line:   
One word: Ouch.

I had more problems with sores on this saddle. The padding of it was ok, so it wasn't really an *ss hatchet. However, it never really "broke in" as it was supposed to do. Maybe 3 months and 1500 miles was not enough, but I was not going to use Brave Soldier Ointment & only wear the 1 or 2 pair of my bike shorts that worked with this saddle for another year to see if it did.

Strengths:    light a few more options for positioning due to length. yeah the wings flex so I guess you get a more comfortable fit and still not hindered.

Weaknesses:    did I mention they crack in half, width-wise. I've had 2 crack after a year each. friend is on his first crack.

Bottom Line:   
it's light...and they crack in half eventually.

Strengths:    It's flat, which gives options for different seat positions.

Weaknesses:    Not much padding, expensive.

Bottom Line:   
Rode with this saddle during the summer of '06 and never quite got comfortable on it. It offers very little padding and a very long nose, which may suit people differently (a love/hate thing). I can see how others would like it because the shape offers many different positions. In the end it just wasn't right for me though. It's been in a box in the garage for months now.
