Are you sitting comfortably? Good. Then I will begin.

At first glance Fizik’s Gobi Ti saddle looks like cruel and unusual punishment but fix that bad boy to your seatpost, jump on and ride - you will feel the reality is very different. Beautifully designed and extremely comfortable; this gents saddle consists of a light plastic/carbon body finished with a leather covering (with no stitching to chaff those sensitive areas) and super light titanium rails.

There is also a removable plastic plug on the bottom on the rear on the underside for a Fizik LED. The wing flex parts are the sides of the saddle which are dropped so when putting the power down your aren’t rubbing the inside of your thighs making up hills anymore unpleasant. I bought this saddle and used it in conjunction with a light carbon seat post.

This saddle will be a fabulous addition to anyone’s bike. Not only does it look and feel great, it has an awesome bling factor that will have your mates cooing over how smart it looks! £80.00 does seem a lot for a saddle, I agree but as the old adage goes - to ride it is to love it.
