fi'zi:k TEMPO ALIANTE R5 | Endurance Saddle Pursuing "All-Day Comfort"
20 years of beloved comfort. The new generation ALIANTE offers an even more natural seating experience.
fi'zi:k's long-selling ALIANTE model has been fully renewed to commemorate its 20th anniversary. The TEMPO ALIANTE R5 is an endurance saddle that re-imagines the comfort and stability required for long rides in a modern way.
Its distinctive feature is the wave shape that flows naturally from the wings to the nose. The wide sit bone support area firmly supports the body, distributing pressure and supporting stable pedaling.
Furthermore, it incorporates an ergonomically designed cutout based on medical analysis. This reduces pressure and prevents interference with blood flow, maintaining comfort even on long rides.
The newly developed "Double Density Foam" is firm at the sit bones and softer towards the nose, with adjusted density. This saddle supports the body with a natural fit, from forward-leaning to a relaxed cruising posture.

I believe this saddle would be a great match for anyone who wants to ride long distances more easily.
The ALIANTE's characteristic rounded seating surface gives the sensation of supporting the hips not just at a "point" but across a "surface," giving the impression that it's less tiring to sit on for long periods. It's particularly well-suited for endurance road and gravel bikes.
With the new model's overall flatter and more natural seating feel, it's a recommended model not only for previous ALIANTE users but also for those looking for a "comfortable saddle that isn't too soft."
