FizikTempo Aliante R1 Saddle(Return to Product Page)

I bought this to replace an Aliante Gamma in both the 145mm and 155mm sizes. Nice saddle but doesn�t fit like the original.

As an Aliante user, I was looking forward to owning this saddle. However, this saddle departs from the Aliante template enough that is should have a different name. The saddle is flatter than the traditional Aliante, meaning that it puts more pressure on the sit bones. Additionally, the foam is very hard, especially compared to my 2 older Aliantes. So beware. I figured that since I've used Aliante saddles for over a decade that this would work for me; and so I didn't keep the box and am now stuck with it. It's not a bad saddle in terms of construction, and the weight came-in around 179g. But the hard foam and flatter profile (less lateral drop-off) made this saddle uncomfortable compared to others in the Aliante lineup.

Very satisfied with the saddle from Fizik. Shape fits well ergonomically. Makes long rides a breeze.

Needs to be professionally fit so as to utilize its full potential.
