Reviews
The Fizik Aliante has been my go to saddle for many years and the R1 Open only makes this saddle better. There definitely is less pressure from the open design and I still find the saddle comfortable to sit on.
I had an Alliante for about 6-7 years that I loved. When it finally broke I tried to order another one just like it and discovered they discontinued that version. I tried a newer version and was going numb.
The I discussed this concern with the salesman at BTD. He suggested I give this one a try . I am happy I did. Nice comfortable ride and no numbing.
Nice saddle, but be sure your seat post can accept an oval rail (7mm X 10mm). Mine couldn�t, but Fizik had another similar saddle with a round rail.
Some of there saddles have the receptacle for the tool bag. Both of the ones I purchased had this feature. I put the first saddle on my fender bike. Nice to be able to need only one tool bag.
