If like me you’ve been watching the tours and you’ve seen this writing on a the back of cycling jerseys:
you might have been wondering what it’s all about?
Well fizik (official site) is an Italian cycling company who make premium quality saddles and also some seatposts, bar tape and accessories. They makes saddles for road, MTB and triathlon for both men and women.
Fizik saddles incorporate several technological advances, one being their Wing Flex design. Fizik say that the WING FLEX™ shell flexes downward in the critical area where the inner thighs contact the saddle allowing for more efficient, full-range movement while pedalling. Coupled with an extended saddle length this allows the rider to find the most comfortable in-saddle position. The flexing the saddle adapts to the rider as opposed to the rider adapting to saddle.
Popular saddles in the fizik range include:
- Arione Kium
- Arone Wingflex
- Antares
- Gobi
- Aliante
There’s a wide choice of types for each model of saddle, typically including a carbon option for additional weight saving. The most popular model seems to be the Fizik Arione and here’s a price comparison for you of just one in that range – click the links to see other saddles in the range.
