Fizik Tempo Aliante R3 Saddle

The waved profile features a raised rear section that helps cradle your pelvis, providing extra support and stability. This design is particularly helpful for riders who want to stay locked into a consistent position during long, endurance-focused efforts.

The Tempo Aliante R3 is built for endurance road cycling. While it is certainly capable of handling fast rides, its design prioritizes long-term comfort and pressure relief over the ultra-minimalist, aggressive profile found on dedicated race saddles.

Saddle width should be chosen based on your sit bone width, not your overall body size. A 145mm width is a standard, versatile size that fits a wide range of riders, but if you have previously measured your sit bones at a bike shop, you should compare that measurement to this width to ensure proper support.

While it is engineered specifically for road cycling, the durable construction and supportive shape make it a viable option for gravel riding as well. If you prefer a saddle that offers more stability and less movement than a flat-profile saddle, this is a great choice for mixed-surface endurance rides.

The R3 designation in Fizik's lineup typically indicates a balance of high-quality materials, such as Kium rails, which offer a significant weight reduction over standard steel without sacrificing the durability needed for daily training.
