The highly-advanced shell on the Luce R1 is constructed with three sections, consisting of a central nylon spine that’s reinforced with carbon fibre and two thermoplastic elastomers. This provides the perfect mix of strength, flexibility and a low weight. Central Cut-out The shell also has a long central cut-out, which Fizik calls its IschialFlex technology and this provides flexible support under the sit bones. It also removes pressure from sensitive areas so you can take on the longest rides and enjoy consistent comfort. Carbon Fibre Rails This saddle comes equipped with a narrow carbon Mobius rail construction, which doesn’t just simply reduce the weight, they maximise power transfer and help to dull road vibrations.
This seat has a relatively flat, long and narrow shape so that you can deliver prime power transfer and still enjoy great support and excellent freedom of movement. Advanced materials and hand-made processes provide ensure efficient performance and a low weight of just 235g. The Fizik Tundra M5 saddle features a strong, light composite carbon reinforced Nylon shell, with Wing Flex technology to offer flexibility where your thighs meet the saddle. The inclusion of a new S-Alloy rail guarantees strength whilst saving weight, while a high-quality PU foam provides maximum soft tissue comfort no matter how hard you hit the trails.
Aliante 00 (00 meaning “the top” in Italian) is the top-of-the-line saddle available in this shape. The high-modulus carbon shell with Wing Flex™ and Mobius™ carbon braided rail make this the lightest and most stiff Aliante model available. Despite the saddle’s very low weight, the special 00 foam compound ensures that comfort is not compromised. Aliante 00 is for The Bull: Rigid Spine. If you have a relatively low degree of spinal flexibility (more than 90 degrees between your straight legs and back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Bull. Your degree of Spinal flexibility will top out quite quickly when attempting to adopt the performance position. For this reason, you will rotate your pelvis fully. You will benefit from the increased curvature (support) of the Aliante shape.
The 00 product designation is a uniquely special badge, reserved for only the very best fi’zi:k products. Every 00 saddle is conceived and designed with a no-compromise approach to create the ultimate saddle. The Arione is 1 of fi’zi:k’s 3 Spine Concept™ Mens Road Saddle shapes. Of these 3, the Arione shape is flat, narrow and long. In certain respects, the launch of the original Arione in 2003 was the end of an era for black, non-descript functional-looking racing saddles. Fi’zi:k redefined the racing saddle category by introducing elegant products that were not only comfortable but also a source of beauty in their own right. The Arione shape has become a World bestseller. High-Quality Pro-Level Performance and Comfort The Arione 00 (00 meaning “the top” in Italian) is the top-of-the-line saddle available in this shape. The high-modulus carbon shell with Wing Flex and Mobius carbon braided rail make this the lightest and most stiff Arione model available. Despite the saddle’s very low weight, the special 00 foam compound ensures that comfort is not compromised. Arione 00 is for The Snake: Flexible Spine. If you are very spinally flexible (far less than 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Snake. You achieve the performance position using your spinal flexibility alone, not rotating your pelvis at all. You will like the flat, narrow and long shape of the Arione.

For this reason you will rotate you pelvis fully and will benefit from the increased curvature (support) of the Aliante shape. The Fizik Aliante Gamma Kium saddle is a contemporary saddle for those riders who know just what they want.
A 0.7mm layer of thermoformed carbon is overinjected with a carbon reinforced Nylon to create the shell, which includes WING FLEX™ and TAIL FLEX™ technologies. EVA foam provides support and comfort, while a Microtex cover with Cordura protection guarantees durability and abrasion resistance. Combined with a braided carbon fibre rail, these next gen technologies, brings the overall weight of the Gobi M1 to a low 155g. Carbon Braided Rails Rather than a conventional solid or tubular rail, fi'zi:k's rails use an outer sleeve of braided carbon fibers forming a tube, with the void inside being filled by unidirectional carbon fibers. This construction is strong, light and stiff. Wing Flex Technology Wing Flex shell has engineered flexibility along the edges where the inner thighs contact the saddle. By allowing this area to flex, the rider can achieve a full range of leg movement in a wide range of riding positions. Wing Flex allows the saddle to adapt to the rider rather than the rider having to get used to the saddle.
The Antares 00 (00 meaning "the top" in Italian) is the top-of-the-line saddle available in this shape. The high-modulus carbon shell with Wing Flex™ and Mobius™ carbon braided rail (NEW for 2016) make this the lightest and most stiff Antares model available. Despite the saddle’s very low weight, special 00 foam compound ensures that comfort is not compromised. Antares 00 is for The Chameleon: Medium Spine. If you have an intermediate degree of spinal flexibility (approximately 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a chameleon. Your degree of spinal flexibility helps you so far, before you need to rotate your pelvis slightly to achieve fully the performance position. You will benefit from the increased width and slight curvature of the Antares shape.
The Fizik Arione Kium saddle benefits from improved weight distribution and a host of fizik technologies including a carbon double shell and Braided Carbon Rail, for the optimum blend of strength, support and light weight, and Wing Flex which enables flexibility where your thighs meet the saddle.

Integrated Clip System The Integrated Clip System (ICS) is an integrated interface in the saddle's base to allow quick attachment and removal of ICS accessories such as the Fi'zi:k saddle Pa:k and Blin:k light. It is a clean, easy, fast and secure attachment that does not require any tools. K:IUM Rails K:IUM is a fi'zi:k proprietary rail formulation. It's the combination of a particular metal alloy, a specific tubular design and a special finishing process which increases fatigue performance on the rail surface. Fact: 8% weight reduction compared to solid titanium. K:IUM features a high strength-to-weight ratio grade and high corrosion resistance. Arione K:ium is for The Snake: Flexible Spine If you are very spinally flexible (far less than 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Snake.

This Aliante Carbon R3 features all the same advantages as the R1 but has a composite Glass shell instead of Carbon. The composite glass shell with co-injected nylon Twin Flex™ 'sweet spot' at the centre, and carbon braided rail, make this a lighter and stiffer alternative to the Aliante R3 Braided, R3 K:ium, R5 K:ium and Gamma models, whilst not compromising comfort. Integrated Clip System The Integrated Clip System (ICS) is an integrated interface in the saddle's base to allow quick attachment and removal of ICS accessories such as the Fi'zi:k saddle Pa:k and Blin:k light. It is a clean, easy, fast and secure attachment that does not require any tools. Carbon Braided Rails Rather than a conventional solid or tubular rail, fi'zi:k's rails use an outer sleeve of braided carbon fibers forming a tube, with the void inside being filled by unidirectional carbon fibers. This construction is strong, light and stiff. Twin Flex Technology Twin Flex construction combines two layers within the shell. A layer of multi-directional carbon fiber provides strength, while a bi-directional layer allows flex for comfort. The two layers are moulded together, so that the stiffer outer layer controls the flexibility of the inner layer. Aliante Carbon is for The Bull: Rigid Spine If you have a relatively low degree of spinal flexibility (more than 90 degrees between your straight legs and back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Bull.
