Fizik Tempo Aliante Adaptive R1 Saddle

3D-printed paddingFizik Adaptive 3D-printed padding has expanded to the Aliante family, creating the perfect match for those who want exceptional, long-lasting comfort on a waved-profile saddle with a slightly wider platform, designed to maximize support and pressure relief.Tailored zonal cushioningThe evolution of digital 3D printing has allowed us to develop a new saddle without the constraints or limitations imposed by traditional production methods and materials. The Adaptive saddle padding is crafted by Carbon® using their revolutionary Digital Light Synthesis™ technology. DLS is an additive manufacturing process which uses digital ultraviolet light projection, oxygen permeable optics, and programmable liquid resins to produce parts with excellent mechanical properties, resolution, and surface finish.Lab tested, road provenUsing Carbon technology, biomechanics and engineers have an unprecedented possibility: to design and manufacture multiple functional zones within the saddle, tuning each of them separately for specific mechanical properties. Each of these key functional zones is engineered for a distinctive cushioning and mechanical response, joined together progressively and seamlessly in the same padding. The result? A 60% reduction in peak pressure through improved weight distribution for increased comfort across the entire saddle surface.All-day comfort Aliante is a waved saddle that features a gradual, tapered transition from wing to nose. With a slightly wider platform to support the ischial bones, it improves stability and weight distribution for all-day rides. With a focus on comfort, the newly redesigned Aliante has a flatter surface to allow for more evenly spread pressure and a balanced feel, especially useful on extended endurance rides.Less pressure = longer ridesAliante Adaptive 3D-printed padding has been engineered to provide every rider with the right support, regardless of riding position, for long days on the bike. The unique properties of our Adaptive technology allow us to design a thicker padding with a softer central functional zone, instead of a cut-out, increasing the saddle’s surface to better spread pressure across the saddle, improving comfort on longer rides.Aliante R1 Adaptive saves weight thanks to a newly designed 7×9 mm carbon rail.Specification:Size145 mmLength: 275 mmWidth: 145 mmHeight at 75mm width: 45 mmLength from nose to 75mm width: 141 mmWeight: 196 gRail: 7×9 mm carbon railSIZE 155 mm Length: 275 mmWidth: 155 mmHeight at 75mm width: 45 mmLength from nose to 75mm width: 137 mmWeight: 201 gRail: 7×9 mm carbon railTempo: Versatile road series designed for the most enjoyable riding experienceIntended Use: Road Endurance
