Fi'zi:k Gobi XM MTB Saddle - 2008

While we always have trouble pronouncing Fi'zi:k, we never have any problem praising their seats. For a marathon-ready MTB saddle, the Fi'zi:k Gobi XM looks punishingly spare, but its Wing-Flex design feels better after a hundred miles than most racing seats do after ten. Fi'zi:k gave the Gobi a wide profile, rounded tail and extended nose to satisfy every discipline, from elite XC racers to weekend freeriders and all-mountain bombers, all while keeping the whole package under 230 grams.

Bottom Line: The Gobi XM MTB Saddle rides like a dream and weighs about the same.

Is the Gobi seat a good choice for a roadie? The only negative

Is the Gobi seat a good choice for a roadie? The only negative I heard so far is the cordura sides may be too abrasive on lycra road shorts. Any commnts?

I ride with the Gobi on my mountain bike, but I tried it on my road bike and I honestly don't care for it as much. After trying scads (20+) road saddles, I'm personally sold on these two:http://www.backcountry.com/store/SEL0004/Selle-Italia-Flite-Classic-Gel-Flow-Saddle.htmlhttp://www.mtbr.com/cat/controls/saddle/tioga/spyder-saddle/PRD_412516_140crx.aspxI will also strongly discourage you from the fi'zi:k Arione saddle, that thing is a pain!Mr. Fuller above doesn't like the Arionne for roadies, but I for one know quite a few teams that race at the collegiate level who love it. (myself included) Your mileage may vary.

Got this just before the Xterra race in Charoletsville, VA, had stock Bontrager seat for Gary Fisher X-Caliber 08 prior. Loved it compared to stock saddle! Much softer ride! However, I got a Fizik bag that clicks into the seat and it broke on my first ride, boo!
