Fizik Antares Versus Evo R3 Adaptive Saddle

Description

3D Printed High Performance Saddle

The Fizik Antares Versus Evo R3 Adaptive is a performance cycling saddle with a revolutionary 3D printed padding offering seamlessly engineered zonal cushioning.

The evolution of digital 3D printing allowed Fizik to develop a new saddle without the constraints or limitations imposed by traditional production methods and materials. The Adaptive saddle padding is crafted by Carbon using its revolutionary Digital Light Synthesis technology. DLS is an additive manufacturing process which uses digital ultraviolet light projection, oxygen permeable optics, and programmable liquid resins to produce parts with excellent mechanical properties, resolution and surface finish.

Tailored Zonal Cushioning

Using Carbon technology, biomechanists and engineers have an unprecedented possibility: to design and manufacture multiple functional zones within the saddle, tuning each of them separately for specific mechanical properties. Each of these key functional zones is engineered with a distinctive cushioning and mechanical response, joined together progressively and seamlessly in the same padding.

This saddle was tested by both professional cyclists and amateur riders in both the fizik labs and on the road. During each development phase, every iteration was carefully tested. A great focus was put on understanding how the pressure patterns change according to different bike geometries, riding positions, and riding styles.
