Long time Fizik Aliante users: anything else you like?

[54ny77]

Need to pick up a saddle quick, and am thinking of trying something new in a front cutout section style seat. Been a user of Fizik Aliante for many years, pretty much since they 1st came out. My seat parts ain't broke and don't need fixin', but...the thought of trying something new out there came to mind.

Anyone try the Fizik Tempo Aliante R1 by chance?

That’s the seat I just bought, I actually bought 2 of them. I’m about to install it and try it out this week.
Can’t tell you yet, but it looks like it’ll be good.

I have an Aliante R3 and R5 if you are interested. I am trying the Aliante Tempo R3 to compare. First cut out saddle I have tried

I've been a long-time user/fan of the fizik Aliante (I've had some variant of it on all my road bikes since 2006) but in 2018 when I got a Cannondale CAADX 105 Disc SE, the stock saddle that came with that bike -- which I believe was a Fabric Scoop radius Sport -- felt so similar to what I was used to that I never bothered replacing it.

They are garbage. The only reason I ride them is because every single one I’ve owned has broken in some fashion within the warranty period and the all have been replaced under warranty. When the ones on my bikes go, I’ll be done with Fizik.I am not exaggerating — I’ve had 5 saddles replaced in the last 15 months. BikeTiresDirect has been awesome to deal with.

I was a long time Aliante user then got a bike with a Bontrager Paradigm saddle and never looked back.

I’m not sure how they compare, but a complete bike came to me with a Fizik Kurve Chameleon that agreed with me very nicely. I’ve found some used to fit on other bikes, but generally no longer available and a shop recommended the Fabric Scoop Shallow. Those have been great for me and can still find them new.
