Fizik Vento Arione R1 Light Saddle

Description

The Icon Returns

The Fizik Arione R1 Light is a high-performance racing saddle with a flat profile and streamlined shape. As the longest saddle in their lineup, Arione allows for considerable fore-to-aft movement, letting riders find their ideal power and comfort centers while reducing pressure in the most aerodynamic riding positions. In this configuration, Arione R1 Light combines low-profile injected EVA padding with a ride-compliant shell and a highly stiff carbon rail.

Features:

• The Return of an Icon: 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.
• R1 Light Construction: Combines a carbon-reinforced nylon shell with ultra-stiff carbon rails for a responsive, lightweight platform. Injected EVA padding delivers low-profile, reactive cushioning that maintains comfort and support without sacrificing the ergonomic shape or increasing thickness.
• Fast Lines, Faster Rides: Designed with a flat profile and an extended, streamlined shape, Arione is the longest saddle in the fizik range — offering ample fore-to-aft mobility to support powerful pedaling and position shifts during intense road races and time trials. Ideal for aggressive, aerodynamic riding.
• Targeted Relief, Stable Ride: Features an ergonomic cutout developed using detailed pressure analysis and input from medical experts to relieve pressure and facilitate blood flow. A grippy surface texture ensures a no-slip hold, minimizing unwanted movement.
• Triathlon and Aero Compatibility: Compatible with an optional link to integrate a water bottle cage to the rear of the saddle, designed to hold bottles at an angle clear of transition zones. UCI compliant with a revolutionary rail insertion system that allows broad adjustability for an ideal forward aero position.
