I had no idea just how important finding the right saddle is. I have had numerous saddles and, by far, the Fizik Aliante Gamma Saddle is the best. It's comfortable. I am not sore or stiff after long rides. My first use of the saddle was in the NYC five-boro tour and I was amazed at how comfortable the seat was even 30 miles in. I was not cramping. I was not sore or stiff after the ride. Even with multiple stops I experienced very little if any fatigue. I have now had the saddle for 3 months and I am still amazed at home comfortable the saddle is because I was very skeptical. I previously was riding on a Giant Saddle and visually the seats looked similar which made me skeptical but that is where the similarities end. The price, in hindsight, is worth it. Actually, it was probably a steal. I highly Recommend Fizik saddles. They're Amazin!
Have this on my gravel bike. A great saddle is one you don't notice, and I don't notice this one on 20 to 50 mile rides on gravel, dirt, and single track, with total elevations of 4000 ft. on a ride. Should have gotten this for my road bike, too.
this is on of 4 fizik saddles i own (2 each of alliate and arione).
i bought this for the bike i have relegated to trainer use because it's the only one that can keep me comfy for > an hour without shifting or standing like i do on the road.
Excellent saddle. Sure, saddles are sometimes a riders personal choice but this one ticks all the right boxes. No annoying seams, or cutouts, just a nice smooth surface and rounded fit. Also pretty low in weight, so you won't be giving up anything for a really good fit. My advice, try this Fizik and once you do buy several more. Then you will have a spare or extras for other bikes in your quiver

This is more comfortable than my Brooks. I have less than 300 miles on it so the verdict is still out. At 67 I am searching for comfort.
I bought this because I've ridden these for years and find them to be the best. My current (identical) saddle is still in great shape, but I bought this on sale for use on my next bike or as a spare for my existing road or 'cross bike.
I have used different Fizik saddle's over the years and have always had good luck with them. I recently had a fellow rider suggest this saddle. Wow!!! I wish I would known about this model earlier, I just ordered my second one for another bike. It is not the lightest saddle Fizik makes but the comfort level is the best.
Good looking saddle with bump absorbing wing flex design and very comfy on century rides.
Riding 120 mi. a week and close to 2,000 ridden on this saddle. I find it very comfortable and looks killer on my bike. Wouldn't hesitate for a second to buy another.
I really like this saddle. I took advantage of the opportunity to test the saddle with a $10 rental and was very happy with how comfortable and natural the saddle felt on the road. I have used it for around a month, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a saddle that allows you to feel connected to the bike.
Instant comfort. 5,000 miles later? Still riding with no issues. Its a no-brainer really.
I have 2 of these saddles, 1 on my road Bike and 1 on my gravel bike, and a Very comfortable saddle for me. I am 6'3 240 lbs and tried different types of saddles but The Fizik Aliante Gamma saddle is the way to go!!!!
perfect saddle for a 500 mile ride from the Niagara River to the Hudson River
Excellent saddle!!!!
Excellent fit & comfort for me - 6'2 250 - road bike rides 3-5x per week
This is the third saddle I have purchased of the same kind in about 10 years. My first saddle decreased the amount of numb toes dramatically on long road rides. I have since sold my road bike and purchased the last 2 saddles for my mountain bikes. They have held up well in spite of not being made for mountain bike the crashing.
Im 58 and need a seat thats comfortable and yet light. This is the ticket! First ride and ahhhh happiness. Get one.
For those new to cycling, the Aliante is a great place to start in the world of road bike saddles. Moderately padded, pretty light, very comfortable. While some riders may eventually transition to super-light saddles, many riders could spend their whole cycling life on an Aliante.
The Aliante delivers maximum comfort to pro riders and weekend warriors alike.
One of many saddles that I have tried, or am trying. I like the shape. I do not like the cover. I would prefer leather, and I like the ability to slide on the saddle. If you don't, then this might be a good cover for you.
