The iconic Fizik saddle is back, with innovative materials, a streamlined shape and a flat profile designed to allow freedom of movement and a responsive feeling in racing conditions.
Fizik's iconic saddle returns with a modern evolution of its legendary design. Known for its sleek silhouette and flat profile, the Arione has long been the choice of pro racers and ambitious riders seeking speed, now reimagined with contemporary materials and advanced construction methods. It is the comeback of a classic, made for the modern road.
The Arione R1 Adaptive brings together the flat profile and streamlined shape of a high-performance racing saddle with the tailored zonal comfort of 3D-printed Adaptive padding. It provides balanced support from nose to tail for riders who prioritise complete freedom of movement and aerodynamic body positioning. Finished with a carbon-reinforced nylon shell and weight-saving carbon rail, it is engineered for speed.
As the longest saddle in the Fizik range, the Arione offers ample fore-to-aft mobility to support powerful pedalling and position shifts during intense road races and time trials. The 3D-printed padding features five distinctive functional zones, delivering a responsive, race-ready feeling. A softer central functional zone distributes weight more evenly for better pressure relief and improved comfort on longer rides, while the flatter, slightly extended nose acts as an optimal base from which to produce power.
The Adaptive saddle padding is crafted by Carbon using Digital Light Synthesis technology, an additive manufacturing process that produces parts with excellent mechanical properties. This allows for multiple functional zones within the saddle, resulting in a 60% reduction in peak pressure through improved weight distribution. The saddle includes an optional link to integrate a water bottle cage to the rear and is equipped with a rail insertion that provides a more aero feeling by allowing for a broad range of adjustability.
