Fizzik Arione

[solly]

Can someone tell me how long it takes for a Fizzik Arione to become "comfortable" or is it a case of try a new saddle if this does not immediately work for you?

Interesting question

I bought a Gobi and an Arione at the same time and am battling to get comfy on either

My Specialized mtb saddle was instantly comfy .... until it broke

I was comfortable from the word go with my Arione .but maybe you should give it 3 or 4 long runs before replacing it Also check your saddle height and position as this will differ from one saddle to another. Good Luck

Is there a specific position or angle that the fizzik must be placed at?

i was comfy with my arione from the first minute my butt and it met!

before that the only discomfort was in my purse... but that has subsided due to the benefits of the sadle.

Start with it at dead level and see.

 

Took me two weeks to mould my gobi. I didnt like the Arione on the road, but I do on my HT mtb...weird.

At first my Arione was worst than my old rav-X but after 3-4 long rides it became more friendly. Now (after 2 months) it is the best thing since sliced bread.

I also previously had a RAVx which was very comfortable.

I guess i need to really give this a chance, else its money down the drain

I'm with G-Man on this one. My Airone was a literal pain in the @ss for at least 6 months before it started to get comfy. Love it now.

Tried a Gobi for first time otherday. Seems pretty good on the runt...

That's why I got my Arione secondhand someone else's butt paid the price for me.

 

Can honestly say was the best upgrade I got for my bike.
