Fi:zik saddles have become a favorite among cyclists thanks to their performance, comfort and quality, but their Women-specific lineup has been fairly limited. The Vesta offers another option for Women cyclists looking for a high performance saddle that is also very comfortable.
Its most striking feature is the central depression for pressure relief on soft tissues. It also has a wide nose for added stability and comfort. Twin Flex technology uses lines of elastomers in the thigh contact area which flex with the body while pedaling allowing the rider to sit back further on the saddle for greater support without the saddle getting in the way. Nylon shell reinforced with carbon keeps the saddle light and supportive and helps dampen road vibrations.
This version of the Vesta features K:ium rails which are 8% lighter than titanium, simultaneously stronger, and more shock absorbent. Microtex cover.
The Fi:zik Vesta K:ium Saddle is available in various colors. 270mm long x 150mm Wide. 269 grams.

So far so good
I've been riding on the test saddle from the store here and I must say that the new Vesta from Fizik feels better than any other women's saddle I've ridden. I tried the Vitesse and it just wasn't right. The Vesta has the relief channel that really works and isn't a gimmick. I had no soft tissue soreness like with other women's saddles (Terry, etc.). The Vesta isn't too wide either so I never felt like my thighs were rubbing a hole in my shorts.
I'm not saying that this is THE saddle to get. Saddles are so subjective and you must try them out for yourself. But, if you're looking for a new saddle, give this one a try. You may be surprised.

Buy it if you're frustrated by chaffing issues.
This saddle came stock with my Cannondale Synapse Hi Mod. Completed a metric century recently. Happy to report no issues with chaffing...anywhere. This is a very comfortable saddle due to the cut out channel. My other Cannondale came with the Vitesse. I have had some chaffing issues with the Vitesse even on short rides. I'll be swapping that for a Vesta soon. I really believe in the value of cut out channels now.
