Can anyone shed some light on the Fizik Ares saddle? I've come across two different versions on the internet. One is at a claimed 163g, and the other is at 199g. On competitive cyclist, the two go for different prices, but have the same description. Also, the red/black one has these "bumps" on the top, whereas the white/black one does not. Is it just a newer model? I'm looking to buy one very soon.

Edit: Even on the fizik website, the red vs the white one are different. The price is still the same, though.

I don't know what the deal is, if its new or just another model, but the red one has firmer padding (which I prefer) and as you mentioned the bumps.

I did some more research. I was told that the white one is the TT model, and the red one was the Tri model. Weird, I know, but if you look at the cardboard plates that they come on, that's exactly what they say. One says Fizik Ares Tri 199g, and the other Ares TT 163g.

Anyways, I bought the white one. It weighs less, and cost me $50 less than the red one on CC.
