Light, affordable, and comfortable don't always come in the same package, but Fi'zi:k managed to bring them together under the banner of the Aliante R3 K:ium Saddle. A favorite of road and 'cross riders for years, the R3 uses more affordable materials but much of the same technology as Fizik's top-end R1. If you, and not your team, are footing the bill for your upgrades this season, consider replacing your ill-fitting saddle with the Aliante R3.
Like its pricier R1 sibling, the R3 comes built with a dual-layer TwinFlex shell, which consists of a stiffer outer layer handling power transfer and a forgiving center that flexes slightly for long-ride comfort. Though the R3's TwinFlex is made from nylon and fiberglass, as opposed to the carbon of the R1, most self-sponsored cyclists will likely find the modest difference in flex offset by the R3's more accessible price. Supporting all of it, Fizik's proprietary K:ium rails provide a durable, impressively light platform for seasons of hard riding. The mysterious titanium alloy sheds weight over solid titanium alone, and boasts a significantly higher strength-to-weight ratio than aluminum.

Great Saddle but No Center Groove
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought:
- Large
The Aliante contour works well for me. The R3 Vs, with the center groove, has been discontinued. I thought this saddle might work well for me, but it causes some discomfort. Rather than trying more saddle angles, etc, i decided to try to find an R3 Vs, was successful, and I'm using that. Be aware the R1 Vs has less padding and isn't an exact substitute, after accommodating the carbon rail shape.
