High-Performance Saddle with Advanced 3D-Printed Padding Technology
The Future of Performance: The Fizik Vento Antares Adaptive R1 is a new-generation high-performance saddle that maintains many iconic design features from the original Antares series, renowned among leading athletes. First introduced over twenty years ago, the Antares saddle has supported top riders in nearly every Grand Tour, including names like Wout Van Aert and Jonas Vingegaard. This latest iteration, featuring innovative Adaptive padding, is poised to make history once again.
Heritage and Innovation: Designed for riders seeking a performance saddle that doesn’t sacrifice comfort, the Antares R1 Adaptive has been race-proven worldwide in road racing, cyclocross, and cross-country events. The streamlined shape and tapered nose-to-wing transition enhance the riding experience, while the new 7x9 mm carbon rail significantly reduces weight.
Key Features:
- Streamlined Shape: Features a tapered nose-to-wing transition for enhanced connection and comfort.
- Adaptive Padding: Utilizes Fizik's most advanced 3D-printed padding technology for exceptional, long-lasting comfort.
- Carbon Rail: 7x9 mm carbon rail for weight savings and strength.
- Performance Proven: Trusted by top athletes in the most demanding races.
3D-Printed Padding: Fizik's Adaptive 3D-printed padding extends to the Antares series, offering tailored zonal cushioning. This padding is crafted using Carbon®’s Digital Light Synthesis™ technology, which allows for the creation of multiple functional zones within the saddle, each engineered for specific mechanical properties. This innovative process results in a 60% reduction in peak pressure, distributing weight more evenly and increasing comfort.
Power Transfer & Pressure Relief: The Antares R1 is designed to support efficient pedaling across various riding positions. Its specific 3D-printed padding includes a softer central functional zone to distribute weight evenly, providing better pressure relief without sacrificing performance. The low-profile shape and tapered nose facilitate easy fore and aft movement, making it an optimal base for producing power.
