Fizik Vento Arione R3

Fizik Vento Arione R3 cycling saddle

The Fizik Vento Arione R3 marks the return of an iconic saddle designed for speed, freedom of movement, and comfort in an aerodynamic position. With its flat profile, elongated shape, and balanced construction, it's aimed at cyclists seeking a performance saddle capable of handling both long, sporty rides and racing efforts.

A versatile and durable version of the Arione range, it combines a forgiving shell, responsive Type 1 PU foam padding and hollow Kium rails to offer an excellent balance between support, comfort and durability.

The return of an iconic saddle

A historical reference at Fizik , the Arione has long been the choice of many professional runners thanks to its long silhouette and flat profile.

This new R3 version retains the DNA of the original saddle while incorporating modern materials to meet the demands of today's cycling.

• iconic flat profile
• long and streamlined shape
• ideal for performance
• great freedom of positioning

The longest saddle in the Fizik range

The Arione R3 is the longest saddle in the range, offering a fore/aft range of movement that is particularly appreciated during sustained efforts.

This geometry allows the cyclist to easily find their ideal zone of power and comfort, whether climbing, sprinting or in an aero position.

• large range of motion
• ideal for sprinting
• perfect in time trials
• facilitated aerodynamic positioning

Responsive comfort and dynamic support

The padding uses Fizik 's proprietary Type 1 foam, a low-profile, responsive PU foam designed to provide immediate support and excellent feedback while pedaling.

This formulation promotes efficient power transfer while maintaining a high level of comfort on long, fast rides.

• PU foam Type 1
• dynamic support
• immediate response
• excellent yield

Ergonomic cut and targeted relief

The saddle incorporates a central ergonomic cutout developed from pressure analyses and recommendations from medical experts.

This opening reduces pressure points and improves blood circulation, which is particularly useful during long rides in a low and aerodynamic position.

• pressure reduction
• improved blood circulation
• comfort over long distances
• suitable for aggressive positions

Kium rails: lightweight and robust

The Kium hollow 7x7 mm rails offer an excellent compromise between low weight, rigidity and durability.

The shell also provides some tolerance to road irregularities to improve overall comfort.

• Kium hollow 7x7 mm rails
• good durability
• excellent weight/comfort ratio
• heavy-duty road use

Compatible with rear accessories

The Arione R3 allows the addition of an optional rear support for bottle cages, particularly interesting for certain triathlon or long distance practices.

The rail insertion system also offers a wide range of adjustments to fine-tune the position.

• rear support compatibility
• wide longitudinal adjustment
• UCI compliant
• ideal for triathlon
