How flexible are you? | Toe |
The Fizik Arione R1 has been designed for the so-called Snakes. The Snake is a rider with a flexible back who feels comfortable riding low on the drops and needs a narrow saddle. The Cyrano Snake Bars with its deep drops and the Arione saddle are made to suit this rider's needs .The Fixik Arione R1 is an extremely rigid and lightweight saddle. This is due to the carbon shell, the Wing Flex technology, and carbon braided saddle rails.
Saddle Shape
This saddle has a flat back which makes it suitable for riders who remain stationary on their saddle and don't slide around during their ride. Since this is a flat saddle, it better supports these riders than a round saddle would.
Flexibility
This is a completely flat saddle which provides you with plenty of freedom to move around. The shape is suitable for riders with a high degree of flexibility in their spine. People with a flexible spine have little trouble rotating their pelvis, meaning they need little to no support to get into the proper cycling position.
The carbon braided rails are full carbon saddle rails wrapped in a carbon mat to increase rigidity and ensure the saddle can't shift accidentally.
Wing Flex Technology
By adding a slight amount of flex to the side panels of the saddle, Fizik has increased the comfort significantly. The Wing Flex technology creates a little extra space for your legs, allowing you to put out more power with more ease.
ICS: Integrated Clip System
You can attach a FiZik Saddle Bag or Light to the rear of the saddle with the integrated clip system (saddle bag/light not included).

Don’t fix what is not broken
After 20y using this saddle I tried the open version which turned out a very bad decision for me , sold it and got my precious back.

Saddle on which I immediately had a good feeling
I have very narrow seat bones (11 cm) so I need narrow saddles. The Fizik quality and aesthetics convince as ever.
Pros & Cons
1 / 5
Insufficient abrasion resistance
I already bought myself a couple of saddles of this type. The comfortable seat, weight and finish appealed to me. But each time after a few thousand km of use, the shell of the saddle broke in the middle! For me, a very serious shortcoming.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Light and fine saddle
Meanwhile, already cycled 481 km on this saddle (5 rides, 1 of which was over 100 km). As good as its predecessors. Previous ones were Fizik Arione Kium 2012 and Arione R1 Versus Evo Carbon 2018. The latter was unfortunately broken after 7300km. Click system (with 3-D printed adapter piece Garmin Varia Radar mounted).
