The Fizik Nisene HP represents almost all that we love about one of our favorite saddles, the Fizik Gobi, save a few extra grams. It's got the same Wing Flex design that allows the saddle to flex in key areas yielding a virtual custom fit without foregoing the critical shell... read more

Only the narrow-minded believe that performance is about speed. As any glossy celebrity-fixated magazine will attest, performance is about style. What was Gunn-Rita Dahle riding under that leather? Did it look good or like something the sponsor foisted on her? Bet you notice what saddles are... read more

Selle Italia seems to be pursuing a unique marketing strategy -- give new saddles distinctive (some would write "weird") names. Yutaak is pronounced "you-talk." Your bum shouldn't be talking after riding this body-holder. The shape looks funky from the side, but feels pretty traditional from... read more

The Selle Italia Yutaak GelFlow Saddle follows SI's tradition of having both a standard and cush version of the same basic shape. It wouldn't be totally unexpected if they released a carbon shell version of the Yutaak in the near future. The GelFlow model shares the same base, shape,... read more

Please don't ask us to explain how Fizik names their products. Gobi XM: we think "Gobi Desert." So we looked it up on Wikipedia.

Sitting on the thin side of a two by four has never been confidence-inspiring, and sinking into a La-Z-Boy has led to saddle sores. The curve of the saddle is... read more

On the road, the Arione garnered not only great reviews, but popular acclaim. Pretty impressive, considering the ticket price. The passion Arione tifosi have for their saddle borders on unhealthy. The Fizik Gobi saddle takes the same "wing flex" technology and puts it in a mountain bike... read more

Freek is the perfect word to describe this unique saddle. It's white, rubbery plastic shell has no padding, yet has enough movement flex built in to make it comfortable. And it's a strong platform, thanks to 8mm saddle rails (6mm is standard). For those who appreciate bike parts, it is equally... read more

Is the Aliante an indulgence, or a necessity? It seems like a whole lot of both to us. It's been our best selling saddle for time immemorial, and it continues to win over cyclists in droves. The Aliante has the perfect combination of lightness and comfort. It uses Fizik's patented Twin Flex... read more
