The Fizik Arione R1 Open brings an anatomic, open pressure relief channel to their iconic Arione Shape. Featuring a composite Carbon-reinforced nylon shell and a light, strong, braided carbon rail, the R1 pulls out all the stops. A Comfort Core foam layer beneath the neat, durable Microtex cover provides comfort, and is enhanced by the full anatomic cut-out which avoids pressure on the rider’s sensitive soft tissue and ensures that all weight is correctly supported across the whole surface of the saddle.
The Arione is made for Snake riders with high body flexibility and no pelvic rotation while pedaling, the Arione is longer than any other fi’zi:k road saddle, flat from nose to tail and with a narrow nose, so you can move around to find your power spot.

Another High Quality Fizik Product
As with every Fizik product I have purchased including saddles, shoes, handlebars,stems I have found the quality and design top notch. I guess that is why I keep buying their products. The stuff they sell is a bit on the pricey side but I have never been disappointed. This saddle was a bit of an experiment for me. I have used the standard Arione R1 and Arione R whatever (the one with the standard rails) for over 10 years. I thought I might give this one with the hole in it a try. I am not ready to replace my regular one with this model. I still like the originals better. Not that I dont like this new one, but I just feel a bit more comfortable on the original. It could be the tens of thousands of miles on the standard one. With more miles on the R1 Open I could change my mind but that is where I am after a couple of thousand miles on it now. Good news is I have not taken it off.

Comfortable Light and Agressive
Really pleased with this saddle. My old favorite was overdue to be replaced. I did some research and the Fizik Arione R1 Open kept coming to the top of the list. Zero break in required. Put it on and started riding. BTD had the best price! Really happy with this purchase.

Looks great, well built, but ultimately not very comfortable
Saddles are very individualistic, but for me (a long time Arione user) this saddle was not very comfortable. The cutout, which should relieve pressure, instead simply create excessive pressure on the ridges around the cutout. Went back to the Arione with a normal chanel cut into it.
