fizik Vento Antares R1 Adaptive - schwarz

A flat saddle that comfortably supports the rider across the entire surface. It consists of a carbon fiber reinforced nylon shell, a carbon profile, and innovative 3D-printed padding.

A high-performance saddle with a sleek shape and a tapered transition zone from the nose tip to the wing, now available with adaptive padding, our most advanced padding technology from 3D printing.

FUTURE-ORIENTED PERFORMANCE
As part of the new generation of Antares saddles, the Antares R1 Adaptive retains many characteristics that made the original so popular among top athletes. For 20 years, the Antares has been used in almost every Grand Tour. With our innovative Adaptive padding, the Antares is ready to make history again. With the lightweight 7x9 carbon rails, it offers both performance and comfort on the road bike, in cyclocross, and cross-country.

3D-PRINTED PADDING
The 3D-printed Adaptive padding from fizik now enriches the Antares product family and is the perfect addition for anyone seeking exceptional, long-lasting comfort on a low-profile performance saddle that offers a more direct feel for optimal pedal efficiency and power transfer.

CUSTOMIZED ZONAL PADDING
The evolution of digital 3D printing allows for the design of a new saddle without the limitations of traditional manufacturing methods. The Adaptive saddle padding is manufactured by Carbon® with the revolutionary DLS™ technology. The additive manufacturing process DLS uses digital UV light projection, oxygen-permeable optics, and programmable liquid resins to produce products with excellent mechanical properties, highest precision, and top quality.

LAB TESTED, ROAD PROVEN
Thanks to Carbon® technology, biomechanists and engineers have unprecedented possibilities: they can arrange multiple zones on the saddle and tune each one individually. The individual functional zones are tuned for their damping properties and mechanical behavior and are seamlessly integrated into the saddle padding. The result? A reduction in pressure peaks by 60% and improved weight distribution for more comfort across the entire surface.

POWER TRANSFER & PRESSURE RELIEF
The Antares is a flat saddle with a tapering transition from the nose to the flanks, allowing the rider to pedal efficiently in any position. The 3D-printed padding, with the soft middle zone instead of a cut-out, provides a responsive, race-ready feel that optimally connects rider and bike and ensures better pressure relief. Whether climbing or on the flat, the Antares R1 Adaptive is there to support you.
