A discipline-specific, short-distance triathlon saddle engineered to provide uncompromising comfort in forward, aerodynamic riding positions and crafted with Adaptive 3D-printed padding.
- OVERVIEW
- SPECIFICATIONS
Thanks to its 3D-printed padding with engineered zonal cushioning, the Aeris short-distance Adaptive saddle ensures maximum stability and support for time trialists and triathletes requiring an optimal platform from which to produce power while in forward, aerodynamic riding positions.
3D-PRINTED PADDING
Fizik Adaptive 3D-printed padding has expanded to the Aeris family, creating the perfect match for those who want exceptional, long-lasting comfort on a triathlon bike saddle designed with a wider nose to provide greater support and stability when riding in forward, aerodynamic racing positions.
TAILORED ZONAL CUSHIONING
The evolution of digital 3D printing has allowed us to develop a new saddle without the constraints or limitations imposed by traditional production methods and materials. The Adaptive saddle padding is crafted by Carbon® using their revolutionary Digital Light Synthesis™ technology. DLS is an additive manufacturing process which uses digital ultraviolet light projection, oxygen permeable optics, and programmable liquid resins to produce parts with excellent mechanical properties, resolution, and surface finish.
LAB TESTED, ROAD PROVEN
Using Carbon technology, biomechanics and engineers have an unprecedented possibility: to design and manufacture multiple functional zones within the saddle, tuning each of them separately for specific mechanical properties. Each of these key functional zones is engineered for a distinctive cushioning and mechanical response, joined together progressively and seamlessly in the same padding. The result? A 60% reduction in peak pressure through improved weight distribution for increased comfort across the entire saddle surface.
FAST AND FORWARD THINKING
Innovation in bike-fitting analysis alongside research on cycling aerodynamics led us to rethink our triathlon and time-trial saddles. In a field where marginal gains are fundamental, being able to provide a saddle that allows comfort in the most extreme aerodynamic positions represents a leap forward in performance achievement.
THE ADAPTIVE ADVANTAGE
The Long-Distance version of Aeris Adaptive is engineered with a wider nose and a long, deep channel that allows for unprecedented pressure relief, all while continuing to maintain the firm support and balance needed for long hours spent pushing in aero positions. At the nose, the rail loop provides added strength to avoid asymmetrical fatigue and also acts as a hook to hold the bike in place in race transition zones. One of the many benefits of Adaptive technology is that it allows us to incorporate a channel, rather than a cut-out, with a soft central functional zone, improving weight distribution for better pressure relief to increase comfort on longer rides in aero positions. At the same time, the surface of the padding offers a no-slip grip that avoids unnecessary movement which can compromise performance.
MULTIPLE FEATURES FOR MIXED DISCIPLINES
Aeris comes with an optional link to integrate a water-bottle cage onto the rear of the saddle. The link is designed to hold bottles at an angle that is out of the way during the critical mounting and dismounting phases at transition zones. Complying with UCI rules, Aeris is equipped with a revolutionary rail insertion that not only provides a more aero feeling but also allows for a broad range of adjustability, necessary to achieve the ideal forward position to beat the wind. Aeris R3 Adaptive provides both strength and weight savings with the combination of a ride-compliant carbon-reinforced nylon shell and hollow Kium rail.
