FIZIK Saddle Vento Arione R3 Adaptive K:ium 135 mm | black
The Arione is designed for optimized power transmission with a high degree of freedom of movement for the rider. The flat saddle geometry stabilizes the pelvic position, while the extended saddle nose enables effective power support under high loads - for example in headwinds or on climbs. The lateral areas with WingFlex technology are elastic and adapt to the movement of the thighs, ensuring unrestricted pedaling movement even at high cadences and longer load intervals. Reduced, finely tuned padding enables direct feedback from the bike without significantly compromising long-distance comfort. The 3D-printed padding provides more support and stability during long races in a leaned-forward, aerodynamic position.
The construction is based on a carbon reinforced nylon saddle shell that combines high structural strength with controlled flexibility to improve vibration damping. The hollow K:ium saddle rails with a 7 mm frame diameter offer a balanced ratio of stiffness, corrosion resistance and low weight. The total weight of the saddle is 219 grams. In addition, the integrated WingFlex design enables improved hip mobility at high cadence. The saddle is also compatible with the ICS (Integrated Clip System), allowing accessories such as saddlebags or rear lights to be mounted directly.
3D Printing Adaptive Technology
Thanks to the innovative 3D printing technology, Fizik was able to significantly improve the properties of the saddle, which would have been impossible with conventional materials and techniques. The DLS (Digital Light Synthesis) manufacturing process, which uses UV light to cure a printed polymer/resin/plastic mixture, allows four different damping zones to be generated with pinpoint accuracy. This significantly increases comfort in exposed areas while reducing weight and optimizing freedom of movement. Riders who like to change their riding position also experience an unprecedented increase in performance. The open honeycomb structure also enables a very high level of breathability and thus avoids the risk of painful chafing, especially in summer.
Naturally, the saddle has been extensively tested by ambitious athletes and professionals in everyday use and races to ensure that only a fully developed product is launched on the market. In addition to all the technical finesse, emphasis was also placed on durability and robustness. In normal use, there is no difference to conventional saddles. All you have to do to clean it is run some water through it.
