Fizik Arione R1

The Arione R1 is designed for riders who prioritize weight savings and efficiency. Its defining feature is the Wing Flex shell, which allows the edges of the saddle to flex slightly with your pedal stroke, reducing thigh interference and improving comfort during long rides.

The Microtex cover features specialized thigh glides to minimize friction between your inner thighs and the saddle edges. This helps prevent chafing and allows for a smoother, more efficient pedaling motion.

Yes, the Arione R1 features an Integrated Clip System at the rear, which allows for a quick and clean attachment of compatible Fizik accessories like saddle bags or lights.

The Arione is a 'long' saddle profile, which offers more fore-and-aft surface area than shorter, snub-nosed saddles. This is ideal for riders who like to shift their position on the bike to engage different muscle groups during climbs or sprints.
