Fizik Vento Antares R1 Adaptive Saddle

Description

The Future of Performance

The Fizik Vento Antares R1 Adaptive Saddle is a high-performance saddle with a streamlined shape and tapered nose-to-wing transition, now available with Adaptive padding, Fizik's most advanced 3D-printed padding technology.

Part of a new generation of Antares saddles, the Antares R1 Adaptive maintains many iconic design features that have long made the original so popular amongst leading athletes. First introduced over twenty years ago, Antares has appeared in nearly every Grand Tour since. Reimagined in their innovative Adaptive padding, Antares is ready to make history again. Designed to deliver both performance and comfort, from road to cyclocross and cross-country, the Antares R1 Adaptive saves weight thanks to a newly designed 7x9 mm carbon rail.

Lab Tested, 3D-Printed, Road Proven

Fizik Adaptive 3D-printed padding has expanded to the Antares family, creating the perfect match for those who want exceptional, long-lasting comfort on a low-profile performance saddle designed to allow a more connected feeling for optimal pedaling efficiency and power transfer.

The evolution of digital 3D printing has allowed us 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 their 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.

Using Carbon® technology, biomechanics 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 for a distinctive cushioning and mechanical response, joined together progressively and seamlessly in the same padding. The result? A 60% reduction in peak pressure through improved weight distribution for increased comfort across the entire saddle surface.
