The Arione saddle is tailor - made for snake - style riders with flexible spines. These riders can comfortably stand, sit, and switch positions on the bike. The R1 model features a carbon - injected nylon twin flex body, which significantly reduces weight. Its Wing Flex shell bends down where the inner thigh touches the saddle, enabling more efficient pedaling and a full range of motion. The Carbon Thermoplastic Composite shell comes with Wing Flex technology. The Carbon Braided Rail has a sleeve of braided carbon fibers filled with unidirectional carbon fibers that can expand and contract. It also has an Integrated Clip System at the saddle base, allowing for tool - free and quick attachment and removal of fizik packs and blink lights (ICS is available on all saddles unless otherwise stated). Specifications include a carbon rail material, 7x9 carbon rails clamp style, black color, 304 mm in length, regular width of 126 mm and large width of 140 mm, and a weight of 165 g.
Using this Arione R1 saddle is straightforward. Just attach it to your bike following the standard procedures for 7x9 carbon rails. Once installed, you can enjoy the comfort it offers whether you're sitting or standing on the bike. When using the Integrated Clip System, simply snap on or off your fizik packs and blink lights without any tools. As for maintenance, keep the saddle clean by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the carbon and composite materials. Also, check the carbon braided rails and the shell periodically for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, it's best to replace the saddle to ensure your safety and continued comfort on the bike.
