Take a standard Fizik Arione with its Kium (tubular steel alloy) rails, then remove some padding and add a narrower stitch seam spacing down the middle, and you have the CX. There isn’t a lot of difference in either weight or performance but there certainly is in price.
The standard Arione is 34g heavier, but it’s £50 cheaper. There’s no denying that the Arione CX is a fantastic saddle that most people will find comfortable, but paying £50 more for thinner padding and a 34g weight saving just doesn’t add up.
