Fizik Arione K:ium Wing Flex Black Road Saddle with Black Suede Stripe features the K:ium rails for strength and a light weight design. The saddle is equipped with wing flex construction to allow free thigh movements, regardless the rider's position, along the saddle. Turn the saddle over and you'll notice several slits cut in the forward edge of the saddles wings. These bend and flex just enough to get out of the way of your thighs as you pedal, but allow the shell to remain firm enough for support and power transfer. This design gives more seating position possibilities with no compromise for more comfort and more performance. Here's another outstanding feature of the Fizik saddles; I.C.S. or Integrated Clip System, which allows you to attach a Fizik Saddle Pa:k or Blin:k red tail light directly to the saddle with no fuss. Specs: Cover - Black suede; Thigh Glides - Black microtex; Rail - k:ium; Weight - 225 grams; Length - 300mm; Width - 132mm; Scuff Guards - no; ICS - yes.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Bought it as a backup
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...

Love this saddle
Been riding this brand and model saddle for years now and I can't say enough good things. Obviously, comfort is different for everyone but I have never ridden a more comfortable saddle. FWIW I'm 5'9" 180lbs, big legs and a short inseam. Hopefully this helps in deciding which saddle to get.
Great saddle
I had a early version of the Arione on my previous bike and had found it comfortable and very durable. The saddle never sagged nor did the rails break or de-bond from the saddle. The leather did not scuff off the sides of the nose as on most of my previous saddles.
My new bike came with an expensive saddle that was initially comfortable (Prologo Nack). After a little more than a year, it began to creak and shortly thereafter one rail's bond with the saddle broke.
I I purchased this newer model of the Arione and find the level top, shape and flex-characteristics far more comfortable.
