Product Description

The iconic fizik saddle is back, with a supportive, streamlined shape and a flat profile—designed to allow freedom of movement and a responsive feeling in racing conditions and aerodynamic positions.   The Return Of An Icon 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.   Arione Arione R5 is a comfortable, ride-compliant saddle with a flat profile and streamlined shape. As the longest saddle in our lineup, Arione allows for considerable fore-to-aft movement, letting riders find their ideal power and comfort centers while reducing pressure in the most aerodynamic riding positions. Built with our low-profile Type-1 foam padding, Arione R5 provides lasting support—complete with a carbon-reinforced nylon shell to save weight and ultra-durable S-Alloy rail.   Fast Lines, Faster Rides 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.   Targeted Relief, Stable Ride Arione features an ergonomic cutout, developed using detailed pressure analysis and input from medical experts, that helps to relieve pressure and facilitate blood flow. Additionally, the padding is made from fizik’s proprietary Type 1 foam: a low-profile, reactive formulation that delivers springy support for an instant response and optimal power transfer with every pedal stroke.   Multiple Features For Mixed Disciplines Arione comes with an optional link to integrate a waterbottle cage to the rear of the saddle. The 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.   Specifications Length: 284mm.
