Manufacturer: Fi’zi:k

Cover: Microtex

Rails: Manganese

Weight: 255g

Product Description

The Fi’zi:k Gobi XM Muzzle saddle is an updated product that has been added some protection to the rear of the seat. This protection comes in the form of a rubber guard that attaches around the back of the saddle to avoid it from getting torn or frayed through repeated use or during bike falls. At this stage it looks as though those who already own a Gobi XM won’t be able to simply buy a scuff guard to add to their own saddle because they are not sold separately.

The saddle is designed with thigh glides to keep the cadence smooth and manganese rails ensure minimal weight. The mid section of the saddle is flexible to provide less restricted pedalling. This is the Fi’zi:k Wing Flex at work and is one of the reasons that this is a solid long distance performer. The Wing Flex allows the shell to flex downward when the inner thigh makes contact with the saddle.

Saddle specs: cover – black microtex, shell – carbon reinforced nylon, rails – manganese, weight – 255g, scuff guard – yes.

Fizik Versus Saddles

Posted by Damo on October 11th, 2010 | No Comments »

Fizik’s three most popular saddles are Aliante, Antares and Arione and the company has produced a spin-off range that is known as the Versus range. These saddles have been created with the same dimensions but there is the addition of a “negative space” AKA channel. What this mens is that the Versus saddles make use of thick foam to provide extra padding while still maintaining the shape of the standard Fizik saddles.

Below are the three Fizik Versus Saddles for sale at great prices.

Fizik Arione Versus Saddle

Fizik Versus Saddles For Sale - Pressure Relief Saddles at great prices!

The Fizik saddles are not constructed with any holes or cut outs because the company believes holes in the saddle would reduce the integrity of the shell. You would experience flex and sag due to the cut out area of the saddle while the pressure relief area of the Versus design provides you with the best ergonomic design possible. The channel added in the Versus saddles not only provides pressure relief down the length of the saddle but it also improves the airflow.

Fizik Arione Versus Saddle

So that there is room for the channel to be added to the saddle there is a build up of foam but this doesn’t add terribly much more weight to the saddle. The dimensions of the Arione is 300mm long and 132mm at its widest.

Fizik Antares Versus Saddle

The Fizik Antares saddle is flat like the Arione but is wider, which makes it similar to the Aliante in that respect. In other words the Antares fits in the middle of the Arione and the Aliante in dimensions. The dimensions of the Antares is 274mm long and 142mm at it’s widest.

Fizik Aliante Versus Saddle

The Fizik Aliante is the widest of the three Versus saddles and also features the same negative space channel of the other saddles. The K:ium rails that feature on the Versus saddles means that there is a weight reduction in the saddle to the standard Aliante and it also provides better vibration absorption. The dimensions of the Aliante is 265mm long and 142mm at its widest.

The creation of these saddles is in response to the need to appeal to a wider range of cyclists. There have been calls for a pressure relief zone with these popular Spine Concept saddles and this is the result.

Brooks B17 Standard Saddle For Sale

Posted by Damo on October 10th, 2010 | No Comments »

There is still a lot to be said for the quality of a traditionally popular bicycle saddle such as the Brooks B17. This is a saddle that is worth every cent because it is simply one of the most comfortable long distance saddles possible.

Take this opportunity to buy a Brooks B17 saddle for your bike.

Buy A Brooks B17 Standard Saddle

The Brooks B17 Standard Saddle has been the perfect riding saddle for a long time now and it is still being produced in the same way to provide a maximum of comfort and durability. The saddle has a full-grain leather cover and will mold to your body shape or riding style as you continue to use it. This breaking in period can seem to take a very long time but it will be worth it when the saddle becomes one of the most comfortable bicycle seats you could possibly imagine.

The simple fact that the Brooks B17 saddle has been around for so long is testament to the comfort and performance that it delivers. It may seem to be too hard on the behind when it is first added to the bike but this will soften with use and the fact that it will adjust its shape to conform to the contours of your body turns the seat into a more personal one.

As far as what the construction of the Brooks B17 saddle consists of you will find that the leather is stretched over a steel framework. There have been different versions of the B17 manufactured over the years with a thin nosed version and a light version available. But the standard original B17 is still the one that most people prefer.

There are many reasons for wanting to buy a Brooks B17 saddle and most of them centre around the question of comfort. The younger riders who are used to a more modern design will shy away from the Brooks B17 because it is a saddle that looks to large and too heavy. It also doesn’t provide the rider with the sleek design that they might consider right for them.

Try a Brooks B17 bicycle saddle to ensure that your all-day treks are completed in the greatest comfort possible.

Product Features

  • Material: Leather
  • Rails: Steel
  • Weight: 580g (18.6oz)
