One of fizik’s most iconic saddles returns with a modern evolution of its legendary design. Known for its sleek silhouette and flat profile, Arione has long been the choice of pro racers and ambitious riders seeking speed, now reimagined with contemporary materials and advanced construction methods. It’s the comeback of a classic, made for the modern road.
Engineered for low weight and high-performance riding, R1 Light construction combines a carbon-reinforced nylon shell with ultra-stiff carbon rails for a responsive, lightweight platform. Injected EVA padding delivers low-profile, reactive cushioning that maintains comfort and support without sacrificing the ergonomic shape or increasing thickness. The result: a saddle that reduces weight without compromise—ideal for long, fast days on the saddle.
Arione is a high-performance racing saddle engineered for speed. Designed with a flat profile and an extended, streamlined shape, it’s the longest saddle in the fizik range—offering ample fore-to-aft mobility to support powerful pedaling and position shifts during intense road races and time trials. Ideal for aggressive, aerodynamic riding, Arione helps riders maintain optimal posture while minimizing pressure and maximizing output, whether sprinting for the line or holding an aero tuck in a solo breakaway.
Arione features an ergonomic cutout, developed using detailed pressure analysis and input from medical experts, that helps to relieve pressure and facilitate blood flow. The saddle’s surface features a grippy texture that ensures a no-slip hold, minimizing unwanted movement that could compromise performance.
Arione comes with an optional link to integrate a water-bottle cage to the rear of the saddle. This link is designed to hold bottles at an angle that is out of the way during the critical mounting and dismounting phases at transition zones. Complying with UCI rules, Arione is equipped with a revolutionary rail insertion that provides a more aero feeling by allowing for a broad range of adjustability, necessary to achieve the ideal forward position to beat the wind.
