Italian biking accessory brand, Fizik, and manufacturing technology company, Carbon, are celebrating success, having seen pro-cyclist Tadej Pogačar crowned overall winner of this year’s Tour de France, which wrapped in Paris on Sunday.

Riding for the UAE Team Emirates‑XRG, Pogačar took top spot in the legendary three-week race on a custom-made 3D-printed saddle from Fizik’s award-winning One-to-One range.

The short-nose Vento Argo R1 Adaptive saddle, produced using Carbon’s advanced Digital Light Synthesis 3D printing technology, was developed in partnership with Gebio Mized, as part of a program that creates innovative bespoke saddles tailored and optimized for each rider’s unique pressure profile. The process captures a rider’s biometric data and pressure mapping through dynamic fit sessions, which is then used to design a saddle with precisely tuned comfort zones. Using Carbon’s breakthrough resin-based DLS 3D printing technology, each saddle is 3D printed with complex lattice structures that enable rider-specific cushioning — firm where stability is needed, softer where pressure relief is critical — offering measurable gains in support, pressure distribution and overall performance.
