When your events typically last between nine and 12 hours, and you spend 50% of that time in the saddle, comfort can be just as important as efficiency. Fi'zi:k's Tritone 5.5 Carbon Braided Rails Saddle is made to offer both in spades, and also adds a nice subtraction to the mix: The Tritone with carbon rails is a claimed 30 grams lighter than its K:ium counterpart. Other than that, it's built on the same design pattern as the other Tritone saddles to let you comfortably and confidently rotate your hips forward toward that aerodynamic sweet spot of around 15 degrees.
Aerodynamics are appreciated, but the gains made can be quickly negated if you're not comfortable. The Tritone addresses this concern with the usual strategically varied foam density and an indentation that gradually increases toward the saddle's blunt nose. This means that, even when you're draped over the aerobars, the Tritone keeps the pressure on your sit bones, not on the sensitive tissues that you'd rather protect. The 85 millimeter rails mean you can precisely dial your fit, another huge comfort advantage over other saddles with shorter rails.
The shell is nylon reinforced with carbon fiber, making it lightweight but still stiff enough that you won't be bouncing around. The fabric is a Thermowelded Microtex, which means that the seams aren't sewn; rather, they're combined with heat and pressure in order to create a waterproof and airtight seal. Silicone stripes on the saddle's face increase grip, so you won't be sliding around and constantly repositioning yourself a la the youngest Schleck in a time trial.
A Front Transition Hook under the saddle's front makes up for the lack of a long nose for a fast grab-and-go during T1. The carriage kit hanging off the back is similar to Fi'zi:k's saddle bag option on road saddles, letting you easily attach two bottle cages, CO2, an inflator device, and a spare tube. The saddle is a UCI legal 24 centimeters long.
The Fi'zi:k Tritone 5.5 Carbon Braided Saddle is available in the color Black.
