What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"For time trials and short-distance triathlons, this saddle is a game-changer. The 3D-printed padding provides targeted support without the bulk, making it perfect for aggressive aero positions. I find it provides the grip and stability needed for powerful pedaling, even over long sessions."When every second counts, the Transiro Aeris Short Distance R3 Adaptive saddle keeps us focused on power and comfort. Designed for triathletes and time trialists, this saddle features an innovative Adaptive 3D-printed padding that adjusts its cushioning to match the most demanding aerodynamic positions. With tailored zonal support, it distributes weight for ideal pressure relief, enhancing comfort even in forward-leaning, high-performance postures.

The result is reduced pressure peaks and optimal power transfer that let us stay locked into our rhythm. And with a lightweight, carbon-reinforced nylon shell, Kium hollow rails, and a low-profile nose, this saddle is an asset for short-distance triathlons or TT stages.
