It's with good reason that many European professional cycling teams are equipped with Fizik saddles and now is your chance to ride the Aliante R3 K:ium version yourself in the distinct color scheme of several WorldTour-level squads. The Aliante R3 K:ium Saddle strikes an optimal balance between comfort and weight. Italy's Fizik introduced the first Aliante in 1999 and in the subsequent years it has become one of the most loved and preferred saddles by professional cyclists and enthusiasts alike. 2014 marked a milestone in the evolution of the Aliante with the launch of an all-new, sleek profile. It's built off the 'Bull' family of Fizik's Spine Concept system, so it's designed around cyclists who are less flexible and therefore need more cushion for soft tissue areas as they roll forward on the saddle. The K:ium rails are constructed of an alloy lighter than titanium, and they're plenty stiff so they won't deform under power. Available in various Euro pro team color schemes: AG2R, BMC, Cannondale, FDJ, Movistar, and Orica Composite glass co-injected nylon shell provides support with optimized stiffness to-weight construction Microtex cover is durable and weather resistant K:ium rails provide high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent vibration damping Ergonomic dip platform and rolled edges are designed for riders with less flexibility Weight: 220 gramsFizik
