Its zones can be tuned with different mechanical characteristics, allowing firmer support where stability matters and more compliance where pressure relief is needed.

Carbon saddle rails require a compatible seatpost clamp: confirm rail shape and dimensions before installation, and never exceed Fizik or the seatpost manufacturer’s torque specification.
