Fizik One to One - Bespoke 3D printed saddles
We’re excited to announce that Richmond Cycles and RC Custom are now an accredited Fizik One to One partner, offering Fizik’s revolutionary custom 3D-printed saddles as part of our bike fitting service.
Using Fizik’s cutting-edge One to One system, we can now provide bespoke saddles tailored precisely to your body and riding style. This system uses a 64-point pressure mapping analysis to assess how your body interacts with the saddle. From this biometric data, Fizik creates a fully custom 3D-printed saddle designed specifically for you, using their innovative Fizik Adaptive range.
How Does the One-to-One Saddle Fit Work?
Pressure Mapping:
We place a pressure mapping system over your saddle to record how and where pressure is applied as you ride. This advanced system collects high-resolution data that helps us understand your unique interaction with the saddle.
Data Analysis:
The pressure data is displayed on-screen in real time, allowing our fitters to assess pressure distribution and identify any imbalances or discomfort areas.
Custom Saddle Creation:
This data is sent to Fizik, who use it to generate a custom 3D-printed saddle tailored to your exact needs all from their cutting edge Adaptive saddle platform.
Why Combine It With a Bike Fit?
To get the full benefit of a custom saddle, your position on the bike must first be dialed in. That’s why this service is offered as an add on to our professional bike fitting. A well fitted bike ensures the pressure data we collect is accurate and reflective of your real-world riding position.
The service should take about an hour for the assessment. The saddles then take 2-4 weeks to reach us, we will then have you back in for a follow up session and fit it to your bike.
Saddles are priced at £499 for carbon rails or £459 with K:IUM rails.
