fizik has launched new and improved Tempo Aliante saddle range which has been enhanced for long-distance riding. Utilising a waved profile design, double-density foam and a pressure-relieving cut-out, the Tempo Aliante is ideal for endurance riders looking for long-lasting comfort.
Key aspects of the Tempo Aliante have been built upon to further improve rider comfort, including an overall flatter saddle surface offering a more even distribution of pressure and wingflex in the nylon shell to adapt to the rider’s inner thigh for improved comfort.
Double-density foam offers additional support for riders over longer distances with firmer padding at the back of the saddle offering ischial bone comfort and support, and softer padding at the nose. The waved design utilises a gradual tapered transition from wing to nose for stability and weight distribution. Additional new features include an ergonomic cut-out developed using detailed analysis to facilitate blood flow and relieve pressure.
“The new generation of Aliante takes advantage of all the recent innovation fizik has applied to it’s new saddles,” said fizik Product Manager Alex Locatelli. “From the importance of diversifying areas of comfort, to the collaboration with physios and bike fitters, bringing ergonomics to a new level.”
The saddles can be found in both 145mm and 155mm width options, with R1, R3 and R5 models offering carbon, Kium or S-alloy rails to cater for all weight and stiffness requirements.
