Fi'zi:k Aliante VS X Saddle - Carbon
The Fi:zi'k Aliante Versus X Saddle gives less flexible riders plenty of padding on a comfortable shape, which you'll appreciate on longer rides. Based on the Aliante shape, it adds a deep pressure relief channel to the equation, and Fi:zi'k's plushest padding. And it's priced more affordably than the more race-oriented saddles in the lineup, making it ideal for weekend warriors, or anyone who is looking for extra comfort, without the price tag typically associated with race-bred saddles.The Versus range of saddles makes use of thicker foam than their standard Fi'zi:k counterparts. It is specifically shaped to provide more padding for your sit bones to keep them from getting tender on long rides. Based on the staple Aliante shape, it bears Fi'zi:k's Bull designation, meaning that it's for riders who are less flexible, and therefore less likely to roll their hips forward while in the saddle. This being the "X" version, it employs a deeper, 20mm relief channel than the standard "Versus" level shape. The rear wings of the saddle are 142mm wide, making it ideal for those with medium-to-medum-wide sit bones. The 265mm length encourages you to settle into the saddle for the long haul. And as you'd expect from Fi'zi:k, this saddle's shape was developed after long-term laboratory blood flow analysis and thermal mapping of multiple groups of test subjects.The Aliante Versus X is built on a carbon-reinforced nylon body, which provides a comfortable shell flex. The rails are K:ium, an alloy that's proprietary to Fi'zi:k, which offers similar weight to titanium rails, at a significantly more affordable price point. The Fi'zi:k Aliante Versus X Saddle is available in one size, and in the color Black.
