Zoncolan vs Arione

Posted on
  • Hey,

    Anyone out there had an experience of riding with both of these saddles? How do they compare?

    My Arione recently fell to pieces, so am looking for a new saddle and was wondering if the the Zoncolan was a good comparative saddle, before forking out the cash - they both look pretty long and very tapered - which is what my butt prefers.

  • Th Zonc has a round top. Not comparable IMO

  • Yeah. If you like the Arione. I cant see you liking the Zoncolan. Its far more rounded under the sitbones.

    Prologo do some flatter perches.

  • Did you like the Arione? If so, you should buy another Arione.

  • I had both, i prefer Arione.

  • put an arione on my bike for a first ride today, and just wondered how people set it up? I was getting a bit of numbness so will probably go out tomorrow w/an allen key in tow to tweak

    the tail seems to sweep up a bit so if you put the saddle on 'level' (using a spirit level tail to nose) it's slightly pitched upwards. the alternative wd seem to be to have the nose to center parallel w/the ground and let the tail rise a bit.

    leaning towards the former; I know it's best to figure out whatever works for me but just wondered what majority setup was

  • My ariones are set up horizontal. They dip a bit when old and used but should be flat to begin with.

    I can get numbness when I am over weight or not pedalling hard enough to lift myself up a bit (so when I am tired and slumping into the saddle).

  • Mine appears to have a slight dip, but I've set it horizontal and don't suffer any numbness. If I put the nose down a tad I'd probably start sliding forward.

  • It would have foffa aero appearance.
