3D-Printed Padding Fizik Adaptive 3D-printed padding extends to the Aeris family, offering exceptional, long-lasting comfort in a triathlon/TT bike saddle designed to provide greater support and stability in forward, aerodynamic racing positions.
Tailored Zonal Cushioning The evolution of digital 3D printing has made it possible to develop a 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 that utilizes 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 Carbon technology enables biomechanics and engineers to design and manufacture multiple functional zones within the saddle, each tuned separately 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 cycling aerodynamics research have led to a reimagining of triathlon and time-trial saddles. In a field where marginal gains are critical, this saddle provides comfort in the most extreme aerodynamic positions, representing a significant performance advancement.
Distance-Specific Support The Short-Distance version of Aeris Adaptive is engineered to provide support and stability for athletes competing in time trials and short-course, no-draft triathlons. The properly dimensioned nose and specific functional zones on the 3D-printed padding deliver balanced performance, enabling riders to generate maximum power in forward, aerodynamic positions. One of the benefits of Adaptive technology is the incorporation of a soft central functional zone, rather than a cut-out, improving weight distribution for better pressure relief and increased comfort in extreme aero riding positions. Additionally, the padding surface offers a no-slip grip, preventing unnecessary movement that could compromise performance.
Multiple Features for Mixed Disciplines Aeris includes an optional link for integrating a water-bottle cage onto the rear of the saddle. The link holds bottles at an angle that avoids interference during critical mounting and dismounting phases at transition zones. Complying with UCI rules, Aeris features a revolutionary rail insertion that enhances aerodynamics while offering a broad range of adjustability, essential for achieving the ideal forward position to minimize wind resistance. The Aeris R1 also saves weight thanks to its newly designed 7x9 mm carbon rail.
