Fizik Saddles: Kurve vs 00
Posted: Wed Oct 31, 2012 7:53 pm
Well, I somehow just snapped my old Antares K:IUM saddle, right through the shell. Time to get a new one.
I've been riding on Antares because that's just what came with my bike, but i've been thinking i should be an arione (snake). My bike has a decent saddle to bar drop. While looking for a new fizik saddle, i've come upon two "higher-end" types, the new kurve models and the 00. My question is, which of these is the better model? Prices run about the same, but the kurves seem to be rather heavy at 220g, while the 00s are like 135g. I do a lot of racing and i'm looking for an aggressive saddle. I'm not worried about comfort as much, and i didn't have any problems with the old antares until now. Theres even some CX model i see, is that for cross?
What do you guys recommend? I'm gonna stick with fizik, and i know, i know, but test riding them isn't really an option. I've only test ridden the standard antares and ariones.
