THE FUTURE OF ENDURANCE
An endurance road cycling saddle that prioritizes support, pressure relief, and stability thanks to its waved profile and innovative Adaptive 3D-printed padding. An endurance road cycling saddle with a waved profile designed to maximize comfort, featuring a 3D-printed Adaptive padding that makes even the longest rides enjoyable.
FEATURES
3D-Printed Padding: The evolution of digital 3D printing has allowed us to develop a new saddle without the constraints or limitations imposed by traditional production methods and materials. The Adaptive saddle padding is crafted by Carbon using their revolutionary Digital Light Synthesis technology. DLS is an additive manufacturing process which uses digital ultraviolet light projection, oxygen permeable optics and programmable liquid resins to produce parts with excellent mechanical properties, resolution, and surface finish.
Tailored Zonal Cushioning: Using Carbon technology, biomechanics and engineers have an unprecedented possibility: to design and manufacture multiple functional zones within the saddle, tuning each of them separately for specific mechanical properties. Each of these key functional zones is engineered for a distinctive cushioning and mechanical response, joined together progressively and seamlessly in the same padding. The result? A 60% reduction in peak pressure through improved weight distribution for increased 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. With a focus on comfort, the newly redesigned Aliante has a flatter surface to allow for more evenly spread pressure and a balanced feel, especially useful on extended endurance rides.
Less Pressure Longer Rides: Aliante Adaptive 3D-printed padding has been engineered to provide every rider with the right support, regardless of riding position, for long days on the bike. The unique properties of our Adaptive technology allow us to design a thicker padding with a softer central functional zone, instead of a cut-out, increasing the saddle’s surface to better spread pressure across the saddle, improving comfort on longer rides. Aliante R3 Adaptive balances both strength and weight with a carbon-reinforced nylon shell and hollow Kium rail.
R3: Combination of a compliant, carbon reinforced nylon shell and a hollow Kium rail with a high stiffness-to-weight ratio.
