Fizik Tempo Aliante R1 Saddle

The Tempo Aliante saddle series from Fizik offers maximum comfort and relief in the perineal area, thanks to a recess and cut-out in the saddle cover. The exceptionally comfortable Tempo Aliante R1 features extra padding from Fizik.

Fizik Aliante saddle shape:

The Fizik Aliante saddle series, with its semi-circular shape rising towards the rear, offers maximum comfort and is designed for a moderately sporty riding position. It is developed for riders who adopt a comfortable, upright riding position and value high levels of comfort. The nose of the saddle is more heavily padded, the seating surface is wider, and the rear of the saddle rises significantly. This ensures good pressure distribution and support when sitting upright.

Fizik Wing-Flex saddle shell:

Wing Flex technology, a shell that is flexible at the sides, allows the cyclist greater freedom of movement in the thighs whilst seated, thereby increasing pedalling power. The Wing Flex shell flexes downwards in the critical area where the inner thighs come into contact with the saddle, enabling a more efficient and complete range of motion when pedalling. Whether the rider has large or narrow thighs, a wide or narrow pelvis: the saddle adapts to the rider, not the rider to the saddle.

Fizik Carbon Braided Frame:

The carbon frame is made from a 3D weave. Its load-bearing capacity is comparable to that of titanium frames and is 50 per cent higher than that of conventional carbon frames. To increase stability, the carbon tubes are ovalised and their diameter increased to 9 mm. In the area of the seatpost clamp, the tubes are additionally hand-wrapped with polyester fabric tape, whose epoxy resin bonds with the carbon fibres during the baking process. The saddle frame of the Fizik Aliante Carbon allows for adjustment within a range of 85 mm.

Fizik Aliante:

The Aliante R1 is part of the new generation of Aliante saddles and retains the key features that have made this saddle family an icon and one of the most comfortable saddles in the entire Fizik range. The Aliante is a contoured saddle with a tapered transition from the wings to the nose. With a slightly wider platform that supports the sit bones, it improves stability and weight distribution for all-day rides. With a focus on comfort, the redesigned Aliante has a flatter surface to distribute pressure more evenly and provide a balanced feel, which is particularly useful on long endurance rides. The Aliante features an ergonomic cut-out developed following detailed analysis and in consultation with medical experts. Its aim: to reduce pressure and promote blood circulation. In addition, the generous padding has been developed using dual-density foam, which is firmer at the sit bones and softer at the nose, to provide every rider with the right support regardless of their riding position, without creating excessive pressure. Incidentally, the Aliante R1 also saves weight thanks to a newly developed 7x9 mm carbon rail.
