5.0 out of 5 stars Bought it as a backup, April 15, 2009
By Cyclocommuter (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This is my third Arione and I bought it mainly as a backup for the other two I am using on my road bikes. The Arione fits me perfectly which is why I use them on my bikes. Be forewarned though that bike saddles are a personal thing just like bike shoes.

What I like about the Arione:
1. Flexibility. There is more room to move fore and aft because of its length. This also allows me to move back and dig in when doing long climbs or move a bit more forward when on high speed courses.
2. Features. All Fizik saddles have the ICS clip which allows me to transfer my Fizik ICS saddle bag from one bike to the other with ease.
3. Design. It comes in various colors which you can match to the colors of the your bike(s). The latest one I got was black with a red strip running down the middle... matches my red and black bike perfectly.
4. Durability. I have probably put in more than 5000 kms on my oldest Fizik and the only signs of wear are on the side edges of the saddle.
5. Light weight. The Arione weighs in at around 225 grams which is relatively on the lighter side as far as bike saddles go.

4.0 out of 5 stars certainly a good purchase, August 28, 2010
This review is from: Fizik Arione K:ium Wing Flex Road Bicycle Saddle (Sports)
During the last two years, I have been re-building a trek-1000 road bicycle, replacing every component with high-quality ones, whenever I have time and money.

This time I changed the Bontrager saddle for a Fizik. The difference is remarkable. In short: besides the smaller area, Fizik is much more comfortable, probably due to a better contact area with the body. Also, it provides more space for the legs, and indeed I think that helps me to go a bit faster, since it is easier to align my legs straight with the pedals. My only regret is the price.
