Fizik Transiro Aeris R5 Saddle

The long-distance version of the Aeris TT saddle with a narrower nose and the round S Alloy saddle frame

The Aeris short-distance saddle was developed to offer maximum stability and support for time trialists and triathletes seeking an optimal platform from which to transfer their power effectively in the forward-leaning, aerodynamic riding position.

The long-distance version of the Aeris features a split-nose design. The independent nose halves create an unprecedented pressure relief system whilst providing the necessary support and balance required for hours of pressure in the aero position. At the nose, the rail loop provides strength to prevent asymmetrical fatigue, whilst also serving as a hook to securely park the bike in the transition zones during a race. In a field where marginal improvements are of fundamental importance, a saddle that offers comfort in the often extremely aerodynamic positions can represent a decisive step towards greater performance.

The saddle’s padding is made from our Type 1 compound – thicker at the nose, where triathletes and time trialists spend most of their time, and thinner at the sit bones to provide a firmer feel when riders need to move out of the aero position.

The Aeris comes with an optional link that allows a bottle cage to be attached to the rear of the saddle. The cage is designed to hold bottles at an angle so that they do not get in the way during the critical ascent and descent phases in the transition zones. In accordance with UCI regulations, the Aeris is equipped with a revolutionary seatpost insert that not only provides a better aero feel but also allows for a wide range of adjustment, enabling riders to find their ideal riding position and escape the wind.
