Fizik Luce R5

Wanted to love it
I had high hopes for this saddle as I bought it to replace my Fizik Arione Donna (now discontinued). On a positive note, the cutout did work better than the relief channel on my Arione Donna, and although it felt firm to begin with on the sit bones, the back of it did become more comfortable after being on the bike for a few minutes. I also liked the width of the nose. I tried both the regular and large sizes but just could not get on with the sharp angle behind the leg. Of the two sizes I preferred the regular (I have 124mm sit bones), and it was alright for shorter rides but I did a longer ride and was really sore/chafed from where the edge of the saddle cut into me. I also found myself constantly trying to change my position in order to find the best way to sit on it. My search continues :)

Most comfortable saddle I have ever ridden on
I have been looking for the perfect saddle for years, this one ticks all the boxes. Looks good, comfortable from the first ride, and just the right amount of padding. Lightweight and not stupidly expensive either. My bum is happy!
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Comfortable and good looking.
The saddle on first inspection feels rather firm, but when riding, it does not feel hard. The hole does not cause me any problems and although I it took a couple of rides for me to find my ideal position, the saddle is long and not slippy. The saddle as you expects gives just a touch on further riding. It has caused my no problems and I would buy another for my other bikes.

Good and affordable saddle
I think it is definitely worth the money. An ok saddle, at a good price.
