Fizik Versus X saddles?

[Lewis Moon]

Has anyone tried the new Versus X saddles? The prostatitis has been acting up. Please don't suggest the SMP. Can't handle the ugly.

Oh, common, you should give'm a try!

$100 shipped to your door [edit:: this saddle has been sold]

Had saddle sore, tried various Fizik, no soap...SMP Dynamic..nobody can see it when you are sitting on it. Put a red one on the Moots, why not?

You might want to take a look at the Pro Turnix AF saddles. I was having fits with my Fizik Aliante and I switched to the 142mm wide version of the Turnix that features a large cut out and it's made a world of difference. It's the best saddle I've ever ridden.

I hate to say it, but the ugly is OK. I had prostate surgery earlier this year. The SMP works well. It's on a carbon bike (Time), so the shape is less objectionable. I can also recommend a Dash saddle (I have one on my Serotta), however, it's more ugly than the SMP, if that's possible. It is extremely light (120g), though, so there's that.

At this point, I am past the aesthetics of saddles. I just want to be "functional" with some modicum of comfort. As was said earlier, nobody will see it when you are on the bike.

PS: I realize that I did not address your question directly. To the point, the Fizik saddle looks to have a channel and not a true cut out. I suspect that this would be helpful, but it may not create a large enough hole for symptom relief. As always, degree of pelvic rotation, pubic rami width and bike position all affect saddle fit.

Try taking a Zinc supplement ....eat pumpkin seeds too.
Zinc is cheap.

Worked for me .... antibiotics did not work.
