Strengths: - Comfortable
- Light
- Long rails
- Looks greatWeaknesses: - NoneBottom Line: Great saddle. Like all saddles, will differ from individual to individual as far as comfort goes. But for me this was as comfortable as it gets. Was initially on my Roadie but ended up getting another as it was that good. Despite being such a long saddle, it doesn't get in the way.

Strengths: Wingflex can really be noticed when pedalingWeaknesses: Very high pressure on your private parts - highest ever experienced on a saddle.Bottom Line:
After reading the various positive revieuws here I thought I'd give the Arione a try on my racing bicycle. Although it looks comfy, after 10 miles your private parts start to feel numb due to the very high pressure caused by the saddle's front end. In short : the Arione feels like sitting on a wooden beam.
Note that the saddle was perfectly horizontal aligned.
Favorite Trail: Aarschot, Diest, St-Truiden

Strengths: Lite, extremely comfortable, and long (good for get on the nose and over the BB when climbing)Weaknesses: Product whats?Bottom Line: This saddle is the most amazing piece of padding I've ever sat on. Also, anyone can ride it. I know heavy brutes who ride Ariones, and I know skinny little teenagers who ride it. It's durable, dependable, versatile and nothing can beat it. For the price, their isn't a better looking, cooler saddle on the market.
Duration Product Used: 6 months

Strengths: Comfortable, Narrow & reasonable weightWeaknesses: None yetBottom Line: Supposedly a road saddle but this seems to do the trick on my mountain bike just as well, extremely comfortable for a lightweight saddle (unlike the san marco aspide which is the most uncomfortable saddle I've ever used!) and easy to move off the back of when decending technical terrain.
Favorite Trail: Wood Hill, Auckland NZ
