Strengths:
This is for the Fi'zi:k Nisene also. I liked the narrow feel of the saddle. It came on my bike so I gave it a try.
Weaknesses:
The type of fabric/leather on this saddle constantly gripped my shorts (wear lycras, not baggies). It constantly pulled my chamois and made the ride very uncomfortable

Went back to my Terry Liberator
Bike Setup:
Cannondale F600
Bottom Line:
I liked the narrow saddle. I did not like the long nose and consant pulling on my shorts. Maybe if you wear baggies this would be a good saddle but I wouldn't recommend it.

Bottom Line:
I'm actually reviewing the NIcene saddle which is not listed here. Kudos to Fizik for making such a well crafted saddle. After using a couple of these for a couple of years (one on my 24" bmx cruiser) I biffed on a small bridge (doh) and one of my rails popped out. tried everything to get it back in and didn't want to mangle the titanium with pliers etc so I sent back to Fizik and within 2 weeks had a NEW version thats even better than my old one. Fisher bikes could learn a lesson in customer service from these guys. 2 and a half months later I'm still waiting for a warranty replacement frame. Suck city. If I pick up a new bike (Santa Cruz?) you can bet this saddle will be on it. Viva Italia!
