Fizik Arione K:ium Rails Road Bicycle Saddle

I bought this about a week ago from Wiggle since it was on sale for half the price as it was here. I bought the last one, though, and they aren't restocking it anymore. Anyway, I came from a Charge Spoon saddle, which is quite comfortable. Problem is that I'm a pretty flexible person, and it doesn't allow me to get an aggressive enough position.Well, the Fizik Arione solved that issue almost immediately after putting it on my bike (2015 Trek Emonda S4)! To test out how comfortable it would be, I rode it around without bib shorts. It definitely passed that test with flying colors. I was able to get onto the drops and really get aero without having the feeling that my seat was going up my bum or cutting circulation to my gentlemen sausage and his kids. It was slightly padded yet firm, and it was compliant in the winged section towards the back of it. I'll break it in properly this weekend.It's well worth the price. I'm not sure how it stacks against the newer Arione VS, R5, R3, R1, or 00 models, though it's still rather light at ~225 grams. Not the lightest, but then again you start to pay high prices for such little weight loss.If you're a snake (flexible enough to bend over and touch your toes), then this is the seat for you.

(Yes, pun intended)I've got to say, it's only been one (test) training ride so far on my brand new Fizik Arione seat; that said, it's the real deal in my book. Coming off a less than optimal seat in terms of performance and comfort, the Fizik's quite the rewarding buy. With its design favoring a Snake (not name-calling, btw; it's a rider's flexibility as it relates to the saddle in terms of seat design as I recently found out). Opting for 'Snake' over 'Bull' or vey flexible vs not so much... for me, it was a good choice. Overall, it's allowing me to ride comfortably in a number of aggressive, low positions while at the same time, providing a saddle top that allows for smooth, quick seating position transitions with no complaints from down under. I'm always riding with the chamois' butt (yes, that pun again) on a less than endurance ride, on this perch, even the riding shorts with chamois wouldn't be a necessity for me. That certainly was not the case with the seat it's replacing.Only time will tell how it works out in the long run but I don't run across to many purchases where I can feel okay about dropping a quick review with such a limited trial; this is one of those.-Feeling Encouraged

It is exactly what I thought it would be. Fizik makes a great saddle

I know that a lot of reviews consider this bike sattle not ideal. After nearly 40 years of bicycling, for me, this is a safe go-to choice. I’m 6’1” / 185lbs an avid road biker and can comfortably ride with this an average of 60 miles (yes, your pants and chamois are important a choice as well).Even friends I’m promoting this too agree; this is better than expected a saddle! Thank you Fiziks!

I've use the Fizik Arione Road saddle for more than 10 years, because it fits me perfectly. I have one installed on at least 6 different bikes (don't ask!). This particular one replaces another that finally wore out after 7 years of very frequent use.While comfort should be your number one concern, I also love the Arione because it offers a wide variety of fore and aft positions while riding, and it's very light and durable.

My husband does several 20+ mile bike rides and has had zero complaints. He said it is very comfortable. It has the necessary soft cushioning down the middle for male comfort, looks sharp, and is very light weight.

Light and very narrow. I was surprised on the comfort. I put it on an older Cannondale r1000 I have at my second house. Only ride it when I am in town there. I have done a couple metric centuries on it and was very comfortable. Thinking on getting another one for my Evo.

Nice design and materials, just comfortable enough to keep you riding for 2 or 3 good hours, I wish they have bigger sizes.
