The 00 product designation is a uniquely special badge reserved for only the very best fizi:k products. Every 00 saddle is conceived & designed with a no-compromise approach to create the ultimate saddle. The Arione is 1 of fizi:ks 3 Spine Concept Mens Road Saddle shapes. Of these 3 the Arione shape is flat narrow & long. In certain respects the launch of the original Arione in 2003 was the end of an era for black non-descript functional-looking racing saddles. Fizi:k redefined the racing saddle category by introducing elegant products that were not only comfortable but also a source of beauty in their own right. The Arione shape has become a World best-seller. The Arione 00 &40;00 meaning the top in Italian&41; is the top-of-the-line saddle available in this shape. The high-modulus carbon shell with Wing Flex & Mobius carbon braided rail make this the lightest & most stiff Arione model available. Despite the saddles very low weight special 00 foam compound ensures that comfort is not compromised. Arione 00 is for The Snake: Flexible Spine. If you are very spinally flexible &40;far less than 90 degrees between your straight legs & your back when bending over as far as you can keeping your legs straight a shoulders width apart&41; you are a Snake. You achieve the performance position using your spinal flexibility alone not rotating your pelvis at all. You will like the flat narrow & long shape of the Arione.

Fizik Antares Vs K:ium Saddle

VS saddles feature a 7mm channel design that allows for greater pressure relief whilst maintaining the stiffness and durability of a solid-base saddle. Solid base ensures saddles structural integrity is unaffected. No reduction in saddles surface area therefore no subsequent increase in pressure. Relief channel spans the length of the saddle allowing the rider freedom to move along it. Edge of relief channel is a gradual change in the foam mould leaving no sharp edges that might cause pressure points.Antares VS is for The Chameleon: Medium Spine.If you have an intermediate degree of spinal flexibility &40;approximately 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can keeping your legs straight a shoulders width apart&41; you are a chameleon. Your
degree of spinal flexibility helps you so far before you need to rotate your pelvis slightly to achieve fully the performance position.You will benefit from the increased width and slight curvature of the Antares shape.Provided this saddles width isnt too narrow for them some women may find this model comfortable due to the presence of the relief channel. Shell: Nylon Carbon Reinforced Rail: K:ium Cover: Black/Red Microtex Padding: Low density with relief channel Integrated Clip System: Yes Length: 275mm Width: 142mm Weight: 209g
