Hi, I currently have a OEM Giant saddle, which is basically a Charge Spoon with Giant covering.

Looking for a new saddle to buy for long rides of about 75 miles. Either....

CHARGE KNIFE or FIZIK ARIONE

Could any owners of above please give PRO's and CON's of both

Thanks

    I own the charge knife and its great, I have it on my fixed and have done 80 miles on it and had no problems even when riding fixed.

    Its very similar to the spoon, Not quite as comfortable but still good, Much lighter though.

    If you dont like the spoon i'm not sure the knife would be for you.

    My personal favourite saddle is the specialized toupe.

    a knife is the same as a charge spoon, just lighter rails and a bit less plastic

    the fizik arione is a fundamentally different shape - if you get on with the spoonalike that you have on currently, stick with it until it wears out, get a knife (or another spoon)

    Both very good saddles, both very comfy.
