Fizik Tempo Aliante R1 Light Saddle

Fizik Tempo Aliante R1 Light Saddle updates one of Fizik's most recognizable saddle shapes with a lighter, race-ready build. The waved profile carries a gradual, tapered transition from wing to nose and a wider platform under the sit bones, a shape Fizik has refined across generations of the Aliante line to spread pressure evenly on long rides rather than concentrate it at a single point. A central cutout relieves pressure and supports blood flow regardless of riding position, while a flatter surface than earlier Aliante saddles keeps weight distribution balanced over hours in the saddle.

R1 Light construction pairs a carbon-reinforced nylon shell with stiff 7x9mm carbon rails, shedding weight without giving up the saddle's structural support. Injected EVA foam padding stays low-profile so the saddle doesn't feel bulky underneath a rider, while still absorbing the small hits that come from rough pavement or chipseal. At 144 grams in the 145mm width and 148 grams at 155mm, it's built for riders who want endurance comfort without the weight penalty that usually comes with it.

Available in 145mm and 155mm widths, the Tempo Aliante R1 Light suits riders who've already identified their sit bone width and want a saddle built around long stretches in the drops or on the hoods rather than short, hard efforts. It's a strong fit for endurance and gran fondo riders, or anyone upgrading from a stock saddle who's felt pressure or numbness on rides past the two-hour mark.
