Bought a seat off marketplace and just comparing it to my husbands. Maybe it is just older but want to double check it’s not fake.
His is on the left and mine is on the right. More photos on the link

It’s hard to say. They do seem slightly different.
They’re clearly different saddles so if they’re trying to be passed off as the same model and you know one is genuine, I think it’s safe to assume the other is not. The supporting structure differ before you even get into the material and finish differences
Hard to tell without seeing them in person. The Fizik logo looks like it’s missing some shapes but that could be due to wear. It’s also shiny like the one in this fake product comparison vid https://youtu.be/CawlH-81Hc8?t=216
The one on the right looks lower quality, and the logo on the rear is coming apart. Can’t say for sure but if I were to pick one that looks fake, the one on the right would be it.
Right looks fake. I’ve noticed the cheap knock offs have a shiny surface compared to the legit 3D printed saddles.
Do they weigh the same (or nearly the same – there’s always a little variation)?
Logo is not the same as on fizik.com.
They both look fake
Need only look at the logo on the top. The one on the right is missing the accent mark between the first i and the z and is missing the other half of the colon between the second i and the k. Looking at Fizik’s website, all their logos on their saddles look like the one on the left.
