The Fizik Aeris Long Distance R1 Light is a split-nose triathlon saddle for athletes who spend hours in the aero position, from 70.3 to full-distance racing. The two independent nose halves take pressure off soft tissue, and at 137 g with 7x9 mm carbon rails it keeps the bike light.
EVA padding is thicker at the nose for comfort when tucked low and slimmer at the sit bones for a firm platform when you sit up. A rail loop at the nose lets you hang the bike in transition, and an optional link takes a rear bottle cage. It suits long training blocks on UAE roads, where the aero tuck is held for hours at a time.
