The Fizik Tempo Aliante R1 is an outstanding endurance road cycling saddle. Its waved profile is expertly crafted to offer maximum comfort. With a pressure - relieving cut - out and double - density foam, even the longest rides become a pleasure. Part of the new Aliante saddle generation, it retains the iconic features that made this saddle family one of the comfiest in the Fizik range. The Aliante saddle has a unique waved design with a smooth, 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 redesigned flat surface spreads pressure evenly, giving a balanced feel, especially great for long endurance rides. The ergonomic cut - out, developed with medical expert insights, eases pressure and promotes blood flow. The double - density foam padding is firm under the ischial bones and soft at the nose, offering perfect support regardless of your riding position, without causing extra pressure. The newly designed 7x9 mm carbon rail helps save weight. Available in two sizes: SIZE 145 mm (Length: 277 mm, Width: 145 mm, Height at 75mm width: 45 mm, Length from nose to 75mm width: 141 mm, Weight: 180 g) and SIZE 155 mm (Length: 277 mm, Width: 155 mm, Height at 75mm width: 45 mm, Length from nose to 75mm width: 138 mm, Weight: 186 g). It's a versatile road series for an enjoyable riding experience, with weight, length, and width values having a tolerance range of +/-3% on a metric system scale.
Using the Fizik Tempo Aliante R1 saddle is straightforward. Just install it on your bike according to the standard procedure. Make sure it's securely attached. When riding, you'll notice the comfort right away, but remember to adjust your position occasionally to avoid any long - term discomfort. For maintenance, clean the saddle regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the foam or the cover. Store the bike in a dry place to prevent moisture from affecting the saddle. Check the carbon rail periodically for any signs of damage or wear. If you find any issues, it's best to consult a professional bike mechanic.
