fi'zi:k Arione Donna -- any experience?

My DH is the same way. The Selle San Marco Ponza torture devices that came on a lot of Fuji bikes a couple of years ago are his absolute favorite, and he hoards them whenever he finds someone switching one out. We must have 5 of these things sitting around

I wish they would show a top view of the saddle so that we could get an idea of the shape. Seeing it from a side view like they show, really doesn't tell me much. And yes, I agree regarding stock saddles! That thing (Prologo Kappa Dea) that came on my Synapse was simply BAD. I'm sure they just throw on the cheapest, crappiest saddles they can think of, knowing that 99% of us will remove it immediately and replace it with something else.

Click on the arrow on the photo...it shows the top view. That's what has me intrigued.

Ahhh-haaaa! Thanks! Now I am intrigued too. Although, my 155 Ruby seems to be serving me well right now (if it ain't broke...). But it IS a nice-looking saddle.

If we can't tweak the position/angle of my Jett to work for me on my new bike (assuming my "issues" are not entirely related to the shorts/tights combo), then I really want to give this saddle a try (perhaps after trying the Bontrager Inform RL WSD). Our LBS carries Fizik and I know they have test saddles...at least for the men's models. I will have to ask about a women's test saddle. Looks like retail is around $160...more than I want to spend unless I can try it or they have a liberal return policy/guarantee.

$126.00

$118.00

That's definitely better than $160. I wish I could find info. re: a fizik return policy/guarantee...their website isn't real helpful.

Nice saddle. Let us know what you think. It looks to have a lower channel in the middle.

I have the Fizik Vesta on my bike- http://www.fizik.it/product.aspx?c=VESTA

While I've been happy with it, it may not be the shape you're looking for. And the Vesta does have a lower channel down the middle.

Ha, I already told my hubby that he really needs to watch eBay and snatch up more of the same saddle that came on my bike. Odds are most people who buy the SuperSix will swap the stock saddle out with whatever they prefer (like I did). He could probably amass quite a back stock.
