Fizik One-to-One Saddles Changing Cycling

  • Ron 

To celebrate producing over 1000 unique custom saddles under its flagship One-to-One program, Fizik has created a film with some of its leading riders on the importance of their one to one saddle in enabling their performance.
One-to-One is Fizik’s bespoke saddle programme that creates a one-of-a-kind, custom 3D-printed saddle, using pressure-mapping data captured during a dynamic fitting session. Available in a growing network of over 100 worldwide fitters and bike stores.

Four- Tour De champion Pogačar remarks that he has seen riders ‘lose or go from the race, because of saddle sores.’ Having taken all but one of his wins on a One-to-One saddle since his first fit session last year, it’s clear that access to a truly custom saddle is now vital to his setup. If anyone needed further proof, his 8 (and counting) One-to-One saddles are certainly a positive sign too.

Isaac del Toro is also a big fan of the system, but for different reasons, the emerging star says that “thanks to the comfort and the grip” his performance is improved “with the power I can go a little bit faster”.

The tech is not limited to current World Tour pros; pioneering ultra-distance racer says that “it would be tough to imagine going ” after using Fizik’s adaptive 3D printed technology, the padding system that One-to-One is based on.

Artist and Ultra rider Quinda Verhuel was told, before working with Fizik and One-to-One that she would “just had to my position or just have to shift my hips” to get the comfort she needed in multi-day events. If she wanted “to feel like she was sitting on a feather” then One to One was the only answer.

Produced individually at their Italian HQ, each One-to-One saddle is custom-printed based on the exact pressure-mapping information from a rider’s dynamic fitting session.

This data samples the rider, as they pedal on their own bike, and seeks to build a unique saddle made up of multiple variable density zones to aid symmetry, spread pressure more evenly and reduce peak pressure. All factors which can be confirmed by any rider during a follow up fit session.
