Cute Cheesy Love Sayings

Fizik Antares vs Kium. Prologo Nago - my new road bike saddle

Oh, glorious Christmas. A little more money than usual on the account - road bike parts now! And what I've always been on my Cervélo has disturbed - the Prologo saddle. Not that the would not be good. No, no, well he is. A fine product.

just not authentic. A
Cervélo has to go Fizik.

said - done. Today I screw me my brand new Antares Kium on the seat post. A fine part. Black and white, so it should be.

It is not the carbon version, as there is really only designed for racing, I advise my seller. It seems like the carbon clamps no saddle bags and the like.

So I'm considering the titanium version. And this is with 175 grams of weight only slightly heavier than her brother race. And yet more than 100 grams lighter than the Prologo.

He's probably the Easy version for riders. Actually, just the thing for me. But it is not authentic ...

falls in a direct comparison of the two saddles to me not only the weight but also their severity. During the Prologo one - and now knows exactly ego - has rich upholstery, I can push my thumb close to 5 mm deep into the seat, is under the padding of the Fizik less than 1 mm.

"normal racing hard" you could call it.

but I know when I drive just an hour to sample on the role of the new Fizik are noticeably flexible in the middle section after, where the Prologo stiff as a board has been sitting on the clamp. I

an hour away in the free role and I realize after 40 minutes what the really big difference and that is: The rewards Fizik racing attitude. has

My old saddle me more compelled to "upright driving". Because the new Fizik flexes at the dam so beautiful, he is in the bottom handlebar position much more convenient than the Prologo - and in racing less tiring.

And let's face it: the wheel looks so much more beautiful!

After an hour training course, I still say not so much, but I think if I keep it busy role training operators - at least since October about 1,900 km - my seat is already really good meat have made friends with the new Antares.

But what I can safely say is: The purchase was definitely worth it. My Cervélo R3 now looks even more like Cervelo. Now only the 3T stem and carbon handlebars.

Or, as Harald asked me: "When Cervélo goes to fetch barbed wire, you then also you?" ! Klaro "
, I reply:" The main thing, the stuff is then made of carbon! "


In this sense: A merry Christmas to you all.
