I loved the kurves and used the Bull, which was closer to the arione. I have three in really good shape that can use home. One of them has carbon rails.

I still love the classic Aliante saddle but (as others have mentioned) have found the Fabric Scoop Radius to be very similar and super affordable. Pretty much the only two saddles I use anymore.

Another long time Aliante user here. Like others here, I pretty much just ride Aliante and Fabric Scoop saddles.

I recently switched to the S-Works Power Mirror 143mm saddle.

The classic shape Aliante is/was on all my bikes. I decided to try the Power saddle because everyone says it's awesome. I like it despite my initial skepticism. It is also odd-looking and wildly expensive. The shapes are not similar, but the Power saddle is the only one I've tried and like better than the Aliante. I just ordered another one to replace another dying Aliante.

Seconding the rec of the Fabric saddle if you're looking for something with a similar ride and easy on the bank account. That said, even though my body works well with an Aliante, a very different saddle has been doing it for me lately: the Selle Flite (90s type model).

Actually just checked and the Aliante is 145mm while the Flite is 146mm, so pretty close actually. Just another option if that aesthetic works for your bike.

Over the past two seasons or so I've tried an aliante, arione, old skool flite, and modern slr. And I've ended up back on a fabric scoop that Ive used for a few years before that. Can't really beat the value with Ti rails for the price. Just make sure to epoxy between the rails and the saddle base so it doesn't creak.

100% Fabric is the best value proposition for road saddles.
