Fizik Tempo Aliante Adaptive R3 Saddle

Fizik Tempo Aliante Adaptive R3 Saddle The Aliante R3 Adaptive is an endurance road cycling saddle with a waved profile designed to maximise comfort; featuring 3D-printed Adaptive padding that makes even the longest rides enjoyable. Fizik Adaptive 3D-printed padding has expanded to the Aliante family; creating the perfect match for those who seek exceptional; long-lasting comfort on a waved-profile saddle with a slightly wider platform; designed to maximise support and pressure relief. The evolution of digital 3D printing has allowed for the development of a new saddle free from 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 that uses digital ultraviolet light projection; oxygen-permeable optics; and programmable liquid resins to produce parts with excellent mechanical properties; resolution; and surface finish. Using Carbon® technology; biomechanics and engineers have an unprecedented opportunity 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 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. 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. Aliante 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 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. The Aliante R3 Adaptive uses a 7x7mm Kium rail; offering durability and a lightweight build for a reliable and comfortable ride.
