Tempo Aliante R1 Light Saddle

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I reach for the Aliante R1 anytime I’m stacking big endurance miles. The waved profile keeps my pelvis supported without forcing me into one position, and the Wingflex shell really does move with your pedal stroke. Add the carbon rails and it's light, smooth, and comfortable for hours—definitely a go-to for all-day road rides."

On long road days where comfort matters just as much as cadence, we rely on the Tempo Aliante R1 to keep us supported from the first climb to the final stretch home. Fizik reshaped this endurance classic with a modern waved profile that cradles our sit bones, maintaining stable power while reducing fatigue during high-mileage weeks. The generous center cut-out eases pressure when we settle into the drops or shift our weight over rolling terrain, making long-distance riding feel more natural.

Built on a carbon-reinforced nylon shell with Wingflex technology, the Aliante R1 moves subtly with each pedal stroke, adapting to our biomechanics without feeling mushy. Double-density foam padding adds comfort where we need it most while keeping the overall feel supportive and efficient. Paired with lightweight carbon rails to trim grams and increase stiffness, this saddle delivers the perfect blend of endurance comfort and performance-driven responsiveness. Whether we're chasing fondos, training for a season of elevation, or exploring new backroads, the Aliante R1 helps us ride farther with confidence.
