- Description
The Aeris short-distance saddle is designed to encourage maximum stability and support for time trialists and triathletes requiring an optimal platform from which to deliver power while in forward, aerodynamic riding positions.
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.
SPRINT TO VICTORY
The Short-Distance version of Aeris has been engineered to provide support and stability for athletes competing in both time trials and short-course, no-draft triathlons. A pressure relief cutout, which progressively transitions into a channeled nose, increases comfort. At the same time, the properly dimensioned nose provides the right level of support and stability to allow riders to produce maximum power while in forward, aerodynamic positions.
SMARTER RIDER SUPPORT
The saddle padding consists of our type-1 formulation—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.
NUMEROUS FEATURES FOR MULTI-DISCIPLINE
Aeris comes with an optional Link to integrate a water-bottle cage to the rear of the saddle. The 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 feeling by allowing for a broad range of adjustability, necessary to achieve the ideal forward riding position to beat the wind.
