The Aliante is 1 of fizi:ks 3 Spine Concept Mens Road Saddle shapes. Of these 3 the Aliante shape is the widest & most longitudinally waved. The Aliante R1 is the top-of-the-line saddle available in this shape. The composite carbon shell with co-injected nylon Twin Flex sweet spot at the centre & carbon braided rail make this a lighter & stiffer alternative to the Aliante R3 Braided R3 K:ium R5 K:ium & Gamma models whilst not compromising comfort. Fizi:k launched the first Aliante in 1999. During the intervening fifteen years it has become one of the most loved & favoured saddles in the world by both pros & enthusiasts alike. Aliante R1 is for The Bull: Rigid Spine. If you have a relatively low degree of spinal flexibility &40;more than 90 degrees between your straight legs & back when bending over as far as you can keeping your legs straight a shoulders width apart&41; you are a Bull. Your degree of Spinal flexibility will top out quite quickly when attempting to adopt the performance position. For this reason you will rotate you pelvis fully. You will benefit from the increased curvature &40;support&41; of the Aliante shape.
