Got a used seat.

I received a damaged box with the seal already cut off. I went to open the box and it looks like the saddles are already installed so yes I have a used item. Not happy about that

Pros
  • Seats and saddles
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Love it and my crotch too

This is my first experience with this short nosed saddle and it fits me perfectly. This solved all the numbness and pain issues I had drop riding with my last saddle. I'm sure this saddle isn't for everyone, but I really like it.

Pros
  • parts & components
Cons
  • boring packaging

On "drops " you get this place.

Started using Zwift in the last few weeks. Used my Stock Specialized seat with a small "male" channel in the middle. I was starting to get numb down there and I seem to be uncomfortable during the drops. I bought it after reading the reviews. BIG difference, I rode 25 miles on different terrain once retuned. No more numbness and that was good, will probably feel better after breaking in. It's a goalkeeper!

Pros
  • Sport
Cons
  • Hard to say

It tweaks the insides of my legs.

My sit bones are 113mm and my saddle is 140mm. I'm also a skinny guy and weigh 154 pounds. After several rides (600+ miles) I'm giving up. I've tried a pair of shorts, lots and lots of padding, cream suede, but there's something that just doesn't work for me. Part of my skin is rubbing heavily and I've already had three blisters. I wish there was a way to try the saddles and if they don't work swap them out.

Pros
  • Saddle
Cons
  • Weight

The 90-day convenience guarantee does not apply to online purchases.

Attention! Fizik saddles are perfect for every rider. The Argo Vento doesn't quite fit me, I still have to give in on the side saddle. It is unfortunate that the Fizik USA Comfort Guarantee does not apply to online purchases given the current shopping environment. Most local shops are not even open for shopping. I am very disappointed in the company for not following the program they heavily promote in their marketing.

Pros
  • Cycling
Cons
  • Without automatic

Nice neckline but steep descent

From the moment I climbed into this saddle I knew it wasn't for me. The neckline is great, quite large. The padding is also fairly supportive yet firm. The only but important problem with this saddle is that it starts to fall off at the edges. I am currently running a 138mm saddle with a smooth side curve. Despite the narrow width, it doesn't cause me any pain. However, this saddle flattens out in the middle and then drops at a more acute angle, creating a crease right where the sit bones meet…

Pros
  • Sports and outdoor activities
Cons
  • Negative impression
