The Fizik Tempo Aliante Adaptive R3 is an outstanding endurance road cycling saddle. Its waved profile is ingeniously designed to boost comfort to the max. With 3D - printed Adaptive padding, even the longest bike rides turn into a pleasure. The Fizik Adaptive 3D - printed padding now comes to the Aliante family. It's a perfect pick for riders seeking long - lasting, top - notch comfort on a waved - profile saddle with a slightly broader platform that offers great support and pressure relief. Thanks to the evolution of digital 3D printing, this saddle is made without the constraints of traditional production. Carbon® uses their revolutionary Digital Light Synthesis™ technology to craft the Adaptive saddle padding. This additive manufacturing process creates parts with amazing mechanical properties, high resolution, and a smooth surface finish. Biomechanics and engineers, using Carbon technology, can design multiple functional zones in the saddle. Each zone has a unique cushioning and mechanical response, seamlessly joined together. This results in a 60% drop in peak pressure through better weight distribution, bringing more comfort across the whole saddle. The Aliante saddle has a gradual, tapered transition from the wing to the nose. Its slightly wider platform supports the ischial bones, enhancing stability and weight distribution for all - day rides. The newly redesigned flat surface spreads pressure evenly, giving a balanced feel, especially useful during long endurance rides. The Aliante Adaptive 3D - printed padding is engineered to support riders in any position for long days on the bike. 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 improve comfort on long rides. The Aliante R3 Adaptive uses a 7x7mm Kium rail. Specifications: There are two sizes available. SIZE 145 mm: Length is 275 mm, width is 145 mm, height at 75mm width is 45 mm, length from nose to 75mm width is 141 mm, and it has a 7x7 mm kium rail. SIZE 155 mm: Length is 275 mm, width is 155 mm, height at 75mm width is 45 mm, length from nose to 75mm width is 137 mm, also with a 7x7 mm kium rail. The TEMPO is a versatile road series for a super - enjoyable riding experience, and its intended use is road endurance.
Using this saddle is easy. Just mount it on your bike following the standard installation process for bike saddles. When riding, you'll immediately notice the increased comfort due to the 3D - printed padding and the design that distributes your weight evenly. For long rides, adjust your position slightly every now and then to avoid any pressure points. As for maintenance, keep the saddle clean. Wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth after each ride to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the padding or the surface of the saddle. Store the bike in a dry place to prevent the saddle from getting wet or rusting, especially the Kium rail. If you notice any signs of wear on the padding or the rail, it's a good idea to have it checked by a professional bike mechanic.
