PERFORMANCE CHOSEN BY PROFESSIONALS
As part of the new generation of Antares saddles, the Antares R5 retains many iconic design features that made the original one of the most popular saddles among top athletes.

POWER TRANSFER
The Antares is a low-profile saddle with a transition from the nose to the wings that allows efficient power transfer in any riding position. Whether you're tackling a climb or maintaining speed on flat terrain - this saddle is designed to always support you. A flatter, slightly wider nose makes it easier to slide forward and backward, providing an optimal base for power transfer.

PRESSURE RELIEF
The Antares features an ergonomic cutout developed based on detailed pressure analysis and with the involvement of medical experts, promoting pressure relief and blood flow. Additionally, the flat padding is developed with dual-density foam, firmer at the sit bones and softer at the nose, to provide the right support for every rider regardless of riding position, without creating excessive pressure.

LIGHT, STRONG, RESPONSIVE
The Antares was developed for cyclists seeking a performance saddle without sacrificing comfort. As our performance option, the Antares has proven itself among athletes worldwide - from road cyclists to cyclocross and cross-country athletes.
