The Fizik Tempo Adaptive R1 Aliante is an outstanding endurance road cycling saddle. Its waved profile is ingeniously designed to maximize your comfort, making even the longest rides a pleasure. The star feature is the 3D - printed Adaptive padding. This revolutionary padding has now come to the Aliante family, offering long - lasting comfort for riders who prefer a waved - profile saddle with a slightly wider platform, which effectively enhances support and relieves pressure.
The Adaptive saddle padding is crafted by Carbon® using their innovative Digital Light Synthesis™ technology. This additive manufacturing process uses digital ultraviolet light projection, oxygen - permeable optics, and programmable liquid resins to create parts with excellent mechanical properties, high resolution, and a smooth surface finish. Thanks to this technology, biomechanics and engineers can design multiple functional zones within the saddle, each tuned separately for specific mechanical properties. The result is a remarkable 60% reduction in peak pressure through better weight distribution, ensuring comfort across the entire saddle surface.
The Aliante saddle has a gradual, tapered transition from the wing to the nose. Its slightly wider platform supports the ischial bones, improving stability and weight distribution for all - day rides. The newly redesigned saddle has a flatter surface, spreading pressure more evenly and providing a balanced feel, especially beneficial for extended endurance rides.
The 3D - printed padding of the Aliante Adaptive is engineered to support every rider, regardless of their riding position. Instead of a cut - out, it has a thicker padding with a softer central functional zone, increasing the saddle's surface area to spread pressure better and enhance comfort on long rides. Additionally, the saddle saves weight with a newly designed 7x9 mm carbon rail.

Using your Fizik Tempo Adaptive R1 Aliante saddle is easy. Just mount it on your bike according to the standard procedure. Make sure it's properly tightened so it doesn't move during your ride.
When it comes to riding, this saddle is designed to be comfortable for long - distance rides. But it's still a good idea to take short breaks during very long rides to give your body a rest.
For maintenance, keep your saddle clean. You can use a mild soap and water to wipe it down after each dirty ride. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the padding or the surface of the saddle. Also, store your bike in a dry place to prevent the saddle from getting rusty, especially the carbon rail. If you notice any signs of wear and tear, like loose padding or a damaged rail, it's best to have it checked or replaced to ensure your safety and comfort on the road.
