fizik is delighted to confirm it will become the official saddle supplier of UAE Emirates XRG and UAE Team ADQ for the 2025 season and beyond.
The Italian brand’s full spectrum of racing saddles will be made available to the team, including their range of 3D-printed Adaptive models which incorporate innovative technologies to create unique saddle paddings with multiple functional comfort zones, and of course, their revolutionary One-to-One range which allows the riders to have their own, truly unique 3D-printed saddles produced. At their recent training camp in Spain, fizik met with each athlete to assess their riding positions and styles before tailoring their saddle choices to their own unique needs.
The collaboration comes off the back of an incredible 2024 for the men’s team, who topped the UCI WorldTour standings after totalling 82 victories with 20 different riders, including notable triumphs at the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, Il Lombardia and Liège – Bastogne -Liège.
The women’s team amassed 14 victories in total, including a stage success at the Giro d’Italia Donne and also winning the Women’s Cycling Grand Prix Stuttgart & Region. Elisa Longo Borghini has joined the roster for 2025, bringing a truly packed palmares with her, having added a second Tour of Flanders title to her long list of achievements last season as well as winning one stage on her way to the overall victory at the Giro d’Italia Donne.
