Fizik Transiro Aeris R5 Long Distance Tri Saddle The Fizik Transiro Aeris R5 Long Distance Tri Saddle is a split-nose triathlon bike saddle designed to provide greater support and stability when riding in forward, aerodynamic racing positions. Innovation in bike-fitting analysis, combined with research on cycling aerodynamics, has led to a rethinking of triathlon and time-trial saddles. In a field where marginal gains are crucial, the ability to offer a saddle that ensures comfort in the most extreme aerodynamic positions represents a significant leap in performance. The Long Distance version of Aeris is engineered with a split-nose construction. The independent halves of the nose create an advanced pressure-relief system while maintaining the firm support and balance needed for long hours spent in aero positions. The rail loop at the nose provides strength to prevent asymmetrical fatigue and also serves as a hook to hold the bike in place during race transition zones. The Aeris comes with an optional link for integrating a water-bottle cage at the rear of the saddle. This link is designed to hold bottles at an angle that keeps them out of the way during critical mounting and dismounting phases in transition zones. Complying with UCI regulations, the Aeris is equipped with a revolutionary rail insertion that enhances aerodynamic performance and allows for a broad range of adjustability, essential for achieving the ideal forward position to beat the wind.
