    Anyone else got one of these?

    Have a standard Arione on my Roadbike and love it so much I decided to get another for my winter /cx bike.

    When I went shopping I spotted the Versus model with its channel and thought that might be good for longer spins.

    Yesterday I did a century on it and the jury is still out with a split vote.

    One of the things I love about my basic Arione is the smoothness of it for shifting my weight on: The ridges created by the channel on the Versus take that feeling away and yesterday at least seemed less comfortable on my glutes albeit I certainly didn't suffer any post spin numbness.

    Are these just bedding in problems? Does anyone love theirs?

    Have ridden with the arione on all my bikes since 2005....switched to VS 2 years ago but still have std on my turbo bike. For me comfort is slightly better with VS on v long rides but it's 100% better for numbness which makes it worth the switch for me.......but then saddles are different for everyone. VS does take a while to break in imo as the ridges beside the valley take a while to soften so stick with it 😀
