Hi I have a TCR? (assuming that it is Giant?) saddle on my winter bike. I find it really comfortable, far more so than the Prologo that I have on my summer bike. I know in terms of quality and weight etc it will be inferior, but my backside doesn't worry about such things. It looks very much like a copy of a Fizik saddle, Arione maybe? Ive tried to find out a bit more about it, but there doesn't seem a lot of info about it. Does anyone know if it does bare any resemblance to any of the Fizik ones?
Thanks. :)

    Hi guys thanks for taking the time to post a reply.
    If it did compare favorably to the Arione I would buy one for the summer bike.
    I would have tried contacting Giant but I wasn't sure for definite that it was one of their saddle as it has no brand name on it that I can see, just TCR on the top.

    A pic of the saddle might help. A quick google images search for TCT saddle and the images that come up don't look very arione to me. If A Fizik they look more Antares, with some looking more Aliante.

    The saddle on my TCR has a similar profile & overall shape to the Arione - the Giant saddle is a little softer/more padding but I prefer the Arione out of the two.

    Thanks all for replying. I have thanks to the good advice done a bit more research. The TCR does bear a real resemblance to the Arione I think?
    I realize that may be where it ends, but it does give me a starting point for looking for a new saddle.
    Thanks all for the input.
    :D

    Giant do spec. the Fi'zi:k Arione saddle as O.E. on the TCR Advanced SL and Advanced bikes, on the TCR Composite it is a Giant performance own brand saddle which looks like their copy of the Arione.
