Fizik Aliante saddle

denbatt

Just wondering is anyone using one? Really thinking it could be worth a try myself. Would appreciate opinions please. Better yet if anyone in Cork here is using one that i could have a look at.

Have one, very comfortable. If you're in Cork The Edge Sports on the Kinsale Rd roundabout have all the Fizik range and you can try their test saddles out for 2 weeks at a time, that's how I bought mine.

Yeah, heard they do that alright, what variant do you have and do you mind me asking what they charge? Found merlin doing the gamma version for €115, seems a good price but would prefer to try one out first.

I'm on my second one, came down hard on ice a couple weeks back and one of the rails came out of its place on the back of it. Iirc it was a gamma I got from the edge and it was around the 120-130 mark. The one I have now is the Versus model with a shallow groove down the middle. 100 on wiggle and feels the same.

I have an Aliante Gamma here, not quite my favourite saddle but not bad either. I'd describe it as inoffensive, you can scoot up or down on it as needs be.

I tried the aliante gamma for a month, it was ok for me but not perfect. Saddles are highly personal what works for one person could be horrible for another. Ill sell it if your intrested.

I suggest trying few of the demo models first, but fwiw, I have the Aliante Versus version, with the pressure relief profile down the middle, works for me.
