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 the Fizik Spine Concept system, this saddle is categorised as a “Snake” type, which means it’s designed for those who have lots of flexibility and minimal rotation of the pelvis when pedalling. Advanced Shell The base of the Arione R1 Open is manufactured from a composite of nylon that’s reinforced with carbon fibre. This design reduces the weight and provides a stable platform for consistent comfort and a low weight. This advanced shell is wrapped with Fizik’s Comfort Core foam and a durable Microtex cover. Carbon Fibre Rails In addition to the carbon fibre reinforced shell, this saddle has braided carbon rails. These are light, strong and combine with the shell to ensure ultra-efficient power transfer.
Arione R3 is for The Snake: Flexible Spine. If you are very spinally flexible (far less than 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Snake. You achieve the performance position using your spinal flexibility alone, not rotating your pelvis at all. You will like the flat, narrow and long shape of the Arione. Shell: Carbon Thermoplastic Composite with Wing Flex™ for freedom of thigh movement.
