SADDLES
2009 Fizik Gobi XM Braided Carbon Saddle
The Fizik Gobi XM Braided Carbon Saddle is one of our favorite saddles -- it adapts technology from the Fizik Arione road saddle for MTB use. Like the Arione, the Fizik Gobi XM Braided Carbon Saddle features a flat profile with WingFlex technology, which is Aramid cloth wrapped around the ...read more
2009 Fizik Gobi XM Saddle
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. Turns out Gobi is the Chinese version of the Mongolian Govi, meaning "gravel-covered plain." Not an image of something we'd want to sit on for any length of time. ...read more
2009 Fizik Tundra Braided Carbon Saddle
The tip-toppiest of the Fizik cross-country heap is the Fizik Tundra Braided Carbon Saddle. As we stated with the K:ium-railed Tundra, the name doesn't seem right at first. Thankfully, a trip to the dictionary (our parents must be proud) revealed that tundra is actually a pretty good metaphor ...read more
2009 Fizik Tundra k:ium Saddle
We don't know if Tundra is the right name for a saddle. Fizik thinks it is and they dubbed their new cross-country race saddle the Tundra. This is the K:ium-railed version. Tundra is usually preceded by the word "frozen." Interestingly, the definition is that of a mucky topsoil covered by ...read more
2009 Fizik Aliante Gamma XM Saddle
There are people, and we count ourselves among them, who like a saddle that is small and thin, but has enough curve to hold us in place. 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
2009 Fizik Zeak 8mm Saddle
The Fizik Zeak 8mm Saddle shares the same design as the Zeak Saddle with 7mm rails -- the shape, the padding, the A.S.S., the front-end hand grab -- all the same. The main difference is the burly 8mm Manganese rails, though you might notice the elaborate design on the Cordura covers, kind of like ...read more
2009 Fizik Zeak 7mm Saddle
There are two main reasons the Fizik Zeak Saddle is different than other enduro/all-mountain saddles. One is the extremely comfortable forward position; the second is the extremely comfortable rearward position. The Zea:k has been designed for the extremes. Fizik calls it A.S.S., Action Specific ...read more
2009 Fizik Vitesse HP Wingflex Women's Saddle
The Fizik Vitesse HP Wingflex Women's saddle is neither stiff nor soft. It gives in the right places. It's not freakishly light, but it's not heavy either. The top is pretty flat, though some riding will have it mold a bit to your form. The built-in Wingflex is a way for each rider to ...read more
2009 Fizik Vitesse Tri K:ium Saddle
The Fizik Vitesse Tri combines the virtues of Fizik's well-loved Vitesse HP road saddle with their Arione Tri saddle. Gregor Mendel would be proud. Intelligent design has always been a human construct. The Arione Tri was ranked number one among female pro triathletes in Triathlete ...read more
2009 WTB SST Team Saddle
The WTB SST Team saddle owned the saddle market throughout the late nineties, and early into the new millennium. It took a simple shape and sleek lines and provided high-performance comfort to all takers. Its distinctive drop nose design provides riders more freedom of movement -- greatly ...read more
