With an anatomic cut-out shape and advanced technology, materials and craft, this is a leading performance road seat for riders who want a waved saddle profile and a pressure relief channel. Made for riders with low body flexibility and high pelvic rotation while pedaling, the Fizik Aliante R1 Open saddle provides support and flexibility so you can ride in comfortable support and always get the power down. It features a composite carbon-reinforced nylon shell and a light, strong, braided carbon rail. A Comfort Core foam layer beneath the neat, durable Microtex cover provides comfort, and is enhanced by the full anatomic cut-out which avoids pressure on the rider’s sensitive soft tissue and ensures that all weight is correctly supported across the whole surface of the saddle. Like all performance Fizik road saddles, Aliante R1 Open is light, flexible and agile. It's designed for pros, with pros and raced by pros.
Within Fizik’s Spine Concept system this saddle is categorised as a "Chameleon" type. This means its designed for those who have medium spine flexibility and who’s pelvises have a low amount of rotation when pedalling. Advanced Construction The shell is manufactured using a nylon that’s reinforced with carbon fibre. This keeps the weight low and allows just enough flex to allow your pelvis to obtain its natural movement range, maximising pedalling efficiency. Finishing off the Antares R3 Open is high-quality Comfort Core foam and a super-durable Microtex cover.
Within Fizik’s Spine Concept system, this saddle is categorised as a "Bull" type which means it’s designed for those with less flexibility in their spines and who’s pelvises rotate a lot when pedalling. Advanced Construction The Aliante R3 boasts corrosion-resistant K:ium rails, which are lightweight and strong and a nylon base that’s reinforced with carbon fibre. This design provides a platform that ensures outstanding pedalling efficiency and durability. Finally, the base is covered with Comfort Core foam and a tough Microtex cover.
Aliante 00 (00 meaning “the top” in Italian) is the top-of-the-line saddle available in this shape. The high-modulus carbon shell with Wing Flex™ and Mobius™ carbon braided rail make this the lightest and most stiff Aliante model available. Despite the saddle’s very low weight, the special 00 foam compound ensures that comfort is not compromised. Aliante 00 is for The Bull: Rigid Spine. If you have a relatively low degree of spinal flexibility (more than 90 degrees between your straight legs and back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Bull. Your degree of Spinal flexibility will top out quite quickly when attempting to adopt the performance position. For this reason, you will rotate your pelvis fully. You will benefit from the increased curvature (support) of the Aliante shape.

This Aliante Carbon R3 features all the same advantages as the R1 but has a composite Glass shell instead of Carbon. The composite glass shell with co-injected nylon Twin Flex™ 'sweet spot' at the centre, and carbon braided rail, make this a lighter and stiffer alternative to the Aliante R3 Braided, R3 K:ium, R5 K:ium and Gamma models, whilst not compromising comfort. Integrated Clip System The Integrated Clip System (ICS) is an integrated interface in the saddle's base to allow quick attachment and removal of ICS accessories such as the Fi'zi:k saddle Pa:k and Blin:k light. It is a clean, easy, fast and secure attachment that does not require any tools. Carbon Braided Rails Rather than a conventional solid or tubular rail, fi'zi:k's rails use an outer sleeve of braided carbon fibers forming a tube, with the void inside being filled by unidirectional carbon fibers. This construction is strong, light and stiff. Twin Flex Technology Twin Flex construction combines two layers within the shell. A layer of multi-directional carbon fiber provides strength, while a bi-directional layer allows flex for comfort. The two layers are moulded together, so that the stiffer outer layer controls the flexibility of the inner layer. Aliante Carbon is for The Bull: Rigid Spine If you have a relatively low degree of spinal flexibility (more than 90 degrees between your straight legs and back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Bull. Your degree of Spinal flexibility will top out quite quickly when attempting to adopt the performance position. For this reason you will rotate you pelvis fully and will benefit from the increased curvature (support) of the Aliante shape.
