The Arione is the longest and flattest in Fi\\\'z:k\\\'s trio of pro-cyclist developed spine concept saddles and comes under the Snake moniker, designed for high body flexibility with no pelvic rotation whilst pedaling. Wing Flex gives the shell engineered flexibility along the edges where the inner thighs contact the saddle. By allowing this area to flex the rider can achieve a full range of leg movement in a wide range of riding positions, this lets the saddle adapt to the rider rather than the rider having to get used to the saddle. The lightweight R1 specification Arione saddle features carbon braided rails and a composite carbon co-injected nylon base for the best support with optimized stiffness to weight construction. A durable Thermowelded black Microtex cover is fitted over a solid padding design to provide optimum weight distribution across the saddle surface when riding. Spine flexibility and pelvic rotation are inextricably linked to saddle comfort, the Fi\\\'z:k Spine Concept Evo app for IOS and Android can provide guidance on which animal profile will suit you best. The fundamental options of the Fi\\\'z:k road saddle range are outlined below.
