Modern performance, classic shape. Fiziks Volta R1 is Fiziks first classic U shape saddle, while this classic shape wont appeal to everyone, certain riders will love the new shape. An upgrade over the R3 is the lightweight Carbon Thermoplastic Composite base which helps bring the saddles weight down to a minimal 165g while provide a solid platform to push hard. An additional Twinflex system provides central pressure distribution to remove pressure spots to create long ride comfort without affecting riding performance. Lightweight Mobius Carbon Braided Rails provide excellent vibration dampening & are another key factor in the lightweight of the Volta R1 Saddle.
