Fizik Tempo Aliante R1 Adaptive Saddle - Carbon, 145mm, Black

The Tempo Aliante R1 Adaptive is a long-distance road cycling saddle, designed with a waved profile, carbon rail coupled with a ride-compliant shell, and Adaptive 3D-printed padding to prioritize rider comfort and support. An endurance road cycling saddle with a waved profile designed to maximize comfort, featuring a 3D-printed Adaptive padding that makes even the longest rides enjoyable, and saves weight thanks to a newly designed 7x9 mm carbon rail. Fizik 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. The evolution of digital 3D printing has allowed Fizik 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. 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. 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 this technology help to create 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.
