Theis product's carbon thermoplastic composite shell and carbon braided rail reduce weight and increase saddle stiffness. The Arione R1 Carbon saddle 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. Please Note: The "regular" 126mm wide version has a smooth finish top and the "large" 140mm wide version has a dimpled finish top.

Shell: Carbon Thermoplastic Composite with Wing Flex™ for freedom of thigh movement.
Within the Fizik Spine Concept system, this saddle is categorised as a “Snake” type, which means it’s designed for those who have lots of flexibility and minimal rotation of the pelvis when pedalling. Advanced Shell The base of the Arione R1 Open is manufactured from a composite of nylon that’s reinforced with carbon fibre. This design reduces the weight and provides a stable platform for consistent comfort and a low weight. This advanced shell is wrapped with Fizik’s Comfort Core foam and a durable Microtex cover. Carbon Fibre Rails In addition to the carbon fibre reinforced shell, this saddle has braided carbon rails. These are light, strong and combine with the shell to ensure ultra-efficient power transfer.

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.
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. 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. 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. 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.
