Fizik Transiro Aeris Long Distance R1 Saddle

Developed together with the sport’s leading experts and riders, Aeris Long-Distance R1 Light is pressure-relieving. HIGHLIGHTS Developed together with the sport’s leading experts and riders, Aeris Long-Distance R1 Light is a pressure-relieving, split-nose saddle engineered to support time-trialists and triathletes in the most extreme aerodynamic riding positions over greater distances. In this latest Light iteration, Aeris LD combines comfortable EVA padding with a stiff carbon rail and carbon-reinforced nylon shell. FEATURES R1 LIGHT CONSTRUCTION Engineered for low weight and high-performance riding, R1 Light construction combines a carbon-reinforced nylon shell with ultra-stiff carbon rails for a responsive, lightweight platform. Injected EVA padding delivers low-profile, reactive cushioning that maintains comfort and support without sacrificing the ergonomic shape or increasing thickness. The result: a saddle that reduces weight without compromise—ideal for long, fast days on the saddle. THE SCIENCE OF COMFORT & SPEED 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 Long-Distance version of Aeris is engineered with a split-nose construction. The independent halves of the nose allow for an unprecedented pressure-relief system 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 strength to avoid asymmetrical fatigue while also acting as a hook to hold the bike in place in race transition zones. SUPPORTING TRI RIDERS The saddle padding consists of our injected EVA foam: thicker on the nose, where triathletes and time-trialists spend most of their time, and slimmer on the ischial bones to provide a firmer feeling for when riders need to rise from the aero position. The saddle’s surface features a grippy texture that ensures a no-slip hold, minimising unwanted movement that could compromise performance. MULTIPLE FEATURES FOR MIXED DISCIPLINES Aeris comes with an optional link to integrate a water-bottle cage to the rear of the saddle. This 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 provides a more aero feel by allowing for a broad range of adjustability, necessary to achieve the ideal forward position to beat the wind.
