Fizik Vento Alliante R1 Saddle Black

Lightweight endurance saddle featuring a wavy profile, generous center cutout, carbon reinforced shell and full carbon rails to balance support, comfort and performance. Introduced exactly two decades ago, our Tempo Aliante saddle took the cycling world by storm in 2003 with its innovative design that prioritizes rider comfort-so much so that it was even dubbed “the sofa” in France-and has been supporting long-distance cyclists ever since. To mark Aliante’s 20th anniversary, we’re introducing our latest version of this timeless design.Comfort makes a comeback with the all-new Tempo Aliante…As part of the new generation of Aliante saddles, theAliante R1 retains the key features that have made this family of saddles iconic and one of the most comfortable in Fizik’s entire line.Aliante is a wavy saddle that features a gradual, tapered transition from fender to nose.
