Is this for real spine flex and saddle choice.Seems I have a medium spine flex and a antares saddle should be the saddle I should get.

its also the most expensive,has anyone bought a antares because of there medium spine flex.Did it work for you I have tried a arione and a aliante and I just thought fizik saddles were not for me.

One of the guys I sometimes cycle with uses a aliante on the strength of the fizik web site.He seems very happy with his saddle and suggests I take the antares for a test run.

So on Friday I managed to get a antares for a test run and my first impressions are surprising extremely positive.It felt right comfortable light right,its still a bit early and I have 6 more days to go but I might have found the perfect saddle for me.

May be the spine concept is not bullsh*t.

Discussed before

It recommended the aliante for me. Having used an arione and an aliante I can confirm that it is good information, just a bit too flashed up for my liking.

The fizik Antares saddle came standard on my bike and I raced 1st time on it on Sunday. On that one outting I was very happy as no rear complaints. The forward part is wider and flatter than many other saddles. If I continue to have no problems with it I will buy one for my trainer as I do suffer pains due to saddle sore even on moderate spins.
