VERSUS saddles incorporate a pressure relief area into the most popular Spine Concept shapes. Fi'zi:k believe comfort is achieved by optimising the seating surface area & that full cutout designs decrease seating surface & support. VERSUS saddles have the same surface area as the corresponding solid surface saddles. VERSUS saddles use the same base as the current road saddles to maintain structural integrity. Saddles with cutouts have a weaker base structure, & begin to flex & sag immediately in use. VERSUS saddles use the optimum ergonomic channel shape to ensure pressure relief & support without involving the sharp edges common in cut-out saddles. Worldwide bestseller with VERSUS pressure relief channel. ...

Versus X took the pressure relief chancel concept of fi’zi:k’s successful Versus saddles & expanded it further with a channel design that has a smoother, more ergonomically-shaped profile that improves comfort & relieves the sensation of pressure. Versus X feature a channel width up to 30mm & depth up to 20mm for optimum pressure relief.NEW for 2016 – the foam compound is softer & the edges of the channel are more rounded. Arione VS X is for The Snake: Flexible Spine. If you are very spinally flexible (far less than 90 degrees between your straight legs & your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Snake. You achieve the performance position using your spinal flexibility alone, not rotating your pelvis at all. You will like the flat, narrow & long shape of the Arione. Provided this saddle’s width isn’t too narrow for them, some women may find this model comfortable due to the presence of the relief channel.

The Bull – Rigid Spine Those with less flexibility are not able to easily accomplish the high performance cycling position. To reach this position the pelvis rotates forward dramatically forcing the hips back. In this position, the rider's weight is directed to the genital area. KURVE A SADDLE THAT ADAPTS TO YOUR EVERY TWIST & TURN Saddle comfort is usually given by the shape & foam on top of the base. With Kurve the comfort is given by the base & the surrounding elements. Kurve is formed from four elements; 1. Re: Flex 2. Wing Flex 3. Mobius Rail 4. Tuner Re: Flex constructed base of all Kurve saddles, are sensory receptors, responding the body's every twist & turn. The Re: Flex construction is made around thermoplastic composite materials which are layered to provide superior support & comfort. The benefits of Re: Flex are the saddle follows very movement of our sitting contact points & so optimizes the interaction you have with your Kurve saddle. The Wing Flex shell flexes downward in the critical area where the inner thighs contact the saddle. Whether the rider has big or small thighs, or a wide or narrow pelvis, the saddle adapts perfectly to the rider. MOBIUS RAILThe design of the Kurve saddle employs a new type of aluminum supporting rail, The Mobius Rail. Mobius is a circular rail construction that has no beginning & no end. Made from cold forged 2014-T6 alloy aluminum it provides the rail & shell with greater flexibility & support. Unlike a traditional saddle rail, the potential pressure points caused by the rail insertion areas are eliminated. Tuner is an interchangeable tension system, which allows the rider to customize their level of Re: Flex. There are 2 tuner tension levels: slack & rigid (or soft & hard). The rider can personalize the saddle tension by simply changing the nose mounted clip-on insert. ...
