Fluid and Supple Muscle Support In order to give you a smooth and fluid pedal stroke while at the time lightly compressing hard-working muscles, Ale deploys their Zaffiro material. This Lycra® Power material is used to gently squeeze and compresses muscles, encouraging blood flow and providing fatigue-busting support during pedalling. Multi-direction stretch also gives perfect motion and return while excellent abrasion resistance adds durability in saddle contact areas.
