FIZIK KURVE SNAKE £189.99

Fizik has chosen oversized aluminium rails for the Kurve. The one-piece Mobius rail loop provides rigidity, which allows the flexible composite base to provide a bit of ‘give’ for comfort.

Three holes have been cut in the base to relieve pressure on the sit bones and the front of the pelvis when you’re riding aggressively in the drops. The most comfortable of the race-style saddles that we’ve recently tested, the Kurve Snake shares its base shape with Fizik’s Aliante VSX.
