Fizik Terra Alpaca X5 Bicycle Saddle Review - feat. CO2 Holder + 12 Function Multi-Tool + Dampening

As a part of Fizik’s Terra all-terrain saddle series, the Alpaca saddle has been optimized for support and rider control. The $ Alpaca saddle combines the $ Terra saddle with an integrated tool carrier that is bolted directly under the saddle. With the direct-to-saddle mounting design, the Alpaca X5 saddle is perfect for mountain bike or dropper post use as it can replace saddlebags. Fizik includes two slots for 16oz CO2, note the CO2 canisters themselves are not included, along with a 12 function multi-tool to repair flats or for roadside repairs. The saddle is only available in a 145mm width with their Mobius rail design for optimized strength and weight distribution. Fizik’s Terra Alpaca is well named as it’s a highly supportive saddle that offers an integrated tool solution. With this combo design not only do you get a comfortable MTB ready saddle but it also has a bolted-on tool carrier with two removable 16g CO2 holders and a multi-tool. The saddle has a nearly flat profile, similar to the Selle Italia Flite, with smooth cover that’s optimized for dropper use. Fizik has incorporated co-injected elastic wing panels that are designed to flex on impacts. The saddle also has their Mobius rail which is a closed loop design that wraps the rails around the saddle base for strength and weight distribution. It’s a sleek design that’s easy to clean with the fabric cover wrapped tightly around the base. The saddle includes a 12 function multi-tool with multiple hex wrenches, screw drivers, Torx, and an integrated inflator head. Despite all the features it’s a compact multi-tool that sits inside its own custom holder on the center of the carrier. There are 7 different hex wrench sizes: 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8mm. You also have both a Phillips and Flat head screwdriver to cover any odd jobs. There are two sizes for the Torx bits: T25 and the less common T10. A rubber cover keeps the tool securely in place even on rough trails. Fizik has optimized the design of the multi-tool to minimize the length by keeping all the tools on one side with the CO2 inflator nozzle on the other. ...
