The Arione R5 is a road saddle with a flat profile and a long, streamlined shape. It is the longest saddle in the fizik range, which gives the rider room to shift fore and aft and settle into different positions as the effort changes. An ergonomic cutout runs through the centre of the platform.
The shell is carbon-reinforced nylon and the padding is fizik Type 1 foam, a low-profile formulation that stays reactive under repeated load. Rails are S-alloy in a 7 by 7 millimetre round profile, so the saddle fits standard seatpost clamps. fizik also lists the saddle as compatible with its Link accessory mount.
