3D-Printed Padding Fizik Adaptive 3D-printed padding has been incorporated into the Aliante family, providing exceptional, long-lasting comfort on a waved-profile saddle with a slightly wider platform, designed to enhance support and pressure relief.
Tailored Zonal Cushioning The evolution of digital 3D printing allows for the development of a new saddle without the constraints of traditional production methods and materials. The Adaptive saddle padding is crafted by Carbon using their 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 excellent 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 for specific mechanical properties. These key functional zones are seamlessly integrated, resulting in a 60% reduction in peak pressure through improved weight distribution, enhancing comfort across the entire saddle surface.
All-Day Comfort Aliante is a waved saddle that features a gradual, tapered transition from wing to nose. With a slightly wider platform to support the ischial bones, it improves stability and weight distribution for all-day rides. The redesigned Aliante has a flatter surface to allow for more evenly spread pressure and a balanced feel, especially beneficial on extended endurance rides.
Less Pressure = Longer Rides Aliante Adaptive 3D-printed padding is engineered to provide every rider with optimal support, regardless of riding position, for long days on the bike. The unique properties of Adaptive technology enable the design of thicker padding with a softer central functional zone, instead of a cut-out, increasing the saddle’s surface area to better distribute pressure, improving comfort on longer rides. Aliante R1 Adaptive also saves weight with its newly designed 7x9 mm carbon rail.
