Fizik

These are, by far, the most comfortable cycling shoes I have ever worn. The liner is one piece, doesn't bunch, and conforms to the foot. The adjustments are precise and easy and the shoe gives me a very solid connection with the pedals. There is decent ventilation as well. This is high praise from me, as I am very finicky about shoes and have a number of minor foot issues that make fit difficult. There is one big drawback, however: I cannot put on or take off the shoes without sitting and using a shoehorn. Perhaps the liner will loosen up, as I have only put about 50 miles on these, but for now these are inconvenient to put on and remove. For me, it is worth the comfort.

Fizik always knocks it out of the park with their products. My bike feels like it has a brand new life with how gorgeous this tape looks. It feels great too. They also include extra sections to hide the exposed part of where there would be a gap in the wrap just under the shifter/brake hoods. I found there was plenty of tape to generously wrap. The only thing that wasn't super compatible with my bike was the endcaps. However, this tape easily worked with my old end caps, so it wasn't an issue, and they're definitely reusable.

I put many thousands of miles on one of these on my gravel bike. Lots of chunky gravel and lots of climbing and descending. This may be the most comfortable saddle to date for that kind of riding. I did days up to 12 hours on this saddle too. Rides up to 14000 feet of climbing in 100 miles too. The reason I go rid of it was that I dropped the bike and split the side of the saddle, couldn't have that and I had another off a mountain bike that would do, so used it as a replacement. It is an Ergon and not as comfortable. Have also had the X1 version, too hard for my liking. Would make a good road saddle, just too hard for gravel or Mtb in my opinion.

I only rode this saddle one time. It is light weight, low in padding (mostly stiff with little padding), and narrow at 140 cm. This saddle may be great for a smaller frame, but it just did not fit me. Also of note is the rather squarish nose, which seemed to rub my inner thigh. I am 6 ft, and 189 lb, so I am not exactly a small guy. I ride for the joy and fitness, not racing. I gave the saddle a 4 star, because I did not hate it, it just did not fit.
