Fizik Tempo Aliante R3 Saddle

Description

Comfort Makes a Comeback

The Fizik Tempo Aliante R3 Open is a supportive, stable bike saddle for endurance cycling, designed to deliver all-day comfort thanks to double-density foam, a waved profile, and pressure-relieving cut-out.

First launched exactly two decades ago, the Tempo Aliante saddle took the cycling world by storm in 2003 with its innovative design that prioritized rider comfort—so much so that it was even nicknamed "le sofa" in France—and it has been supporting long-distance cyclists ever since. To mark the twentieth anniversary of Aliante, Fizik are introducing their latest take on this timeless design.

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.

The OPEN version features an ergonomic cutout, developed using detailed analysis and input from medical experts, that helps to relieve pressure and facilitate blood flow. Additionally, the generous padding has been engineered with a double-density foam, firmer on the ischial bones, softer on the nose, to provide every rider the right support, regardless of riding position, without creating undue pressure.

Features:

• ALIANTE: Waved profile saddle designed to maximize comfort, support and pressure relief
• R3: Combination of a ride-compliant, carbon-reinforced nylon shell and a Kium hollow rail with high strength-to-weight ratio
• WINGFLEX: The shell's side edges flex and adapt to the rider's inner leg movement
• DOUBLE DENSITY FOAM: Firmer on the ischial bones, softer on the nose, for optimal comfort in every riding position
• Length: 277 mm, Width: 145/155 mm
• Weight: 220/226 g
• Rail: 7x7 mm
