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.
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.
Arione R5 is a comfortable, ride-compliant saddle with a flat profile and streamlined shape. As the longest saddle in the Fizik lineup, Arione allows for considerable fore-to-aft movement, letting riders find their ideal power and comfort centres while reducing pressure in the most aerodynamic riding positions. Built with low-profile Type-1 foam padding, Arione R5 provides lasting support, complete with a carbon-reinforced nylon shell to save weight and an ultra-durable S-Alloy rail.
Arione is a high-performance racing saddle engineered for speed. Designed with a flat profile and an extended, streamlined shape, it offers ample fore-to-aft mobility to support powerful pedalling and position shifts during intense road races and time trials. Ideal for aggressive, aerodynamic riding, Arione helps riders maintain optimal posture while minimising pressure and maximising output.
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.
Arione comes with an optional link to integrate a water bottle cage to the rear of the saddle. 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.
