Fizik Aliante or Fizik Arione?

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

If I'm looking to purchase a comfort saddle do you think I should go for the Aliante or wait it out until the Fizik Arione pops up in October?

The Airone is a sort of a mistery, but the Aliante is very confortable.
Maybe too confortable, the problem with this saddle is that they made it very light weight, without a lot of padding (thats good) but with a very elastic structure that flex a lot under you (this can be good or bad depending on what you need from a saddle)
I still prefer a Selle Italia SLR the XP version with vanox rails and a little padding more than the standard SLR (160 grams VS 135 grams)
The problem also with the Aliante is that the "carbon rails" version tend to be very fragile....
try a Pave, less money great saddle. (more weight i know!!!)
