Fizik Arione R3 Adaptive Saddle

Fizik Arione R3 Adaptive – 3D padding and freedom of movement

Fizik Arione R3 Adaptive – a lightweight road cycling saddle designed for performance riding and cyclists who like to change their seating position while pedaling. The long and flat Arione profile provides more room to move forwards and backwards, while advanced Adaptive 3D padding helps provide support across different areas of the saddle.

Adaptive padding is produced using 3D-printing technology and is divided into five functional zones, each with different mechanical properties. A softer central zone helps reduce pressure in sensitive areas without the need for a traditional saddle cut-out. Fizik states that this construction can reduce peak pressure by up to 60%.

The Arione shape features a flat and elongated 284 mm profile. It gives the rider greater freedom to move forwards and backwards on the saddle and change the support position according to riding intensity and position.

The saddle shell is made from carbon-reinforced nylon, while lightweight and durable hollow Kium rails help keep the overall weight low. The Arione R3 Adaptive is available in 135 mm and 145 mm widths.
