Anyone try the 2010 Fizik Arione Gamma Versus K:ium Saddle yet?

I have been riding the regular Arione K:ium saddle for years and like it, but interested with this new one. Any reviews out there?

And is that "spine concept" that fizik has in their ads just marketing bs? Because it says I should not be on this saddle and suggested the antares. Opinions?

Thanks in advance,

Ray

For me arione disapperars, despite the specialized ass-o-meter saying I need a 143. I even prefer the firmer CX version. I did NOT like the antares...I always felt it, in the tail especially. what animal are you? I am the animal that borrowed/bought/sold a few saddles until I found one that disappears and now I have 8 of them

i have the new versus saddle. love it.

that said, all of my road bikes have a toupe on them, they are my ideal saddle for riding with bibs or bike shorts.

i have the arione versus on my commuter SS bike which i generally ride in street clothes. it is definitely a little less firm with more padding than anything else i ride, which is nice for the no chamois rocking.

i will say i tried a regular arione a few years back and it caused some numbness, but this versus model with the love channel does not have the numbing effect.
