3D-Printed Padding The Fizik Adaptive 3D-printed padding extends to the Aeris family, offering an exceptional, long-lasting comfort in a triathlon saddle with a wider nose for increased support and stability in forward, aerodynamic racing positions.
Tailored Zonal Cushioning The evolution of digital 3D printing has led to the development of a new saddle without the constraints of traditional production methods. The Adaptive saddle padding is crafted by Carbon using Digital Light Synthesis technology, an additive manufacturing process utilizing digital ultraviolet light projection, oxygen permeable optics, and programmable liquid resins to produce parts with superior mechanical properties, resolution, and surface finish.

Lab Tested, Road Proven With Carbon technology, biomechanics and engineers can design and manufacture multiple functional zones within the saddle, tuning each for specific mechanical properties. These zones are seamlessly integrated, resulting in a 60% reduction in peak pressure through improved weight distribution, enhancing comfort across the entire saddle surface.
Fast and Forward Thinking Innovations in bike-fitting analysis and research on cycling aerodynamics have led to a reimagining of triathlon and time-trial saddles. In a field where marginal gains are critical, this saddle allows for comfort in the most extreme aerodynamic positions, representing a significant performance advancement.
The Adaptive Advantage The Long-Distance version of the Aeris Adaptive is engineered with a wider nose and a long, deep channel for unparalleled pressure relief, while maintaining the firm support and balance needed for extended periods in aero positions. The nose's rail loop provides added strength to prevent asymmetrical fatigue and serves as a hook for securing the bike during race transitions. Adaptive technology enables the incorporation of a channel, rather than a cut-out, with a soft central functional zone, improving weight distribution and pressure relief for greater comfort on long rides. Additionally, the padding surface offers a non-slip grip to prevent unnecessary movement that could impact performance.
Multiple Features for Mixed Disciplines Aeris includes an optional link for integrating a water-bottle cage onto the rear of the saddle. This link holds bottles at an angle that avoids interference during critical mounting and dismounting phases at transition zones. Complying with UCI rules, Aeris is equipped with a revolutionary rail insertion that not only enhances aerodynamics but also offers a wide range of adjustability, essential for achieving the ideal forward position to reduce wind resistance. The Aeris R3 Adaptive combines strength and weight savings through its carbon-reinforced nylon shell and hollow Kium rail.
