Fizik Aliante R3 Colour Edition Saddle

Fizik Aliante R3 Colour Edition Saddle

Featuring a thermo-welded microtex cover, this limited-edition road bike saddle offers excellent durability as you clock up the miles. Drawing inspiration from the aesthetics of the Arione saddle, this colour edition model adds a splash of colour and style to complement your ride. Fizik has also equipped it with a composite carbon with co-injected nylon shell, which includes a Twin Flex sweet spot at the centre. This means you’ll benefit from its fantastic comfort, low weight and flexibility as you transfer all your leg power to your pedals. Another highlight is its K:ium alloy rails, which use a specific tubular design and a special finishing process to deliver a high strength to weight ratio, while also protecting against corrosion.

Fizik launched the first Aliante in 1999. During the intervening fifteen years it has become one of the most loved and favoured saddles in the world, by both pros and enthusiasts alike.

Aliante R3 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.

Technologies:

• 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.
• K:ium Rails: K:ium is a Fizik proprietary rail formulation. It’s the combination of a particular metal alloy, a specific tubular design and a special finishing process that increases fatigue performance on the rail surface. Fact: 8% weight reduction compared to solid titanium. K:ium features a high strength-to-weight ratio grade and high corrosion resistance.
