fizik has expanded its 3D-printed saddle offering with the introduction of the Aliante Adaptive, available in R1 and R3 models.
Designed for riders seeking all-day comfort, the Aliante Adpative features a waved profile which provides a gradual, tapered transition from wing to nose. With a slightly wider platform to support the ischial bones, the design improves stability and weight distribution during extended endurance rides.
Lab Tested, Road-Proven
fizik’s Adaptive 3D-printed padding has now expanded to the Aliante family, creating a platform for riders who demand exceptional, long-lasting comfort. This new incarnation has a flatter surface which allows for a more even spread of pressure and balanced feel; traits which are especially useful for long days in the saddle.
The evolution of digital 3D printing has allowed fizik to develop a new saddle without the constraints or limitations imposed by traditional production methods and materials. The Adaptive saddle padding is created by 3D printing pioneers Carbon® using their revolutionary Digital Light Synthesis™ technology.
By utilizing Carbon®’s expert biomechanics and engineers, fizik has been able to incorporate multiple functional zones within the saddle.
