A high-performance saddle with an aerodynamic shape and a tapered transition between nose and wing, now available with Adaptive padding, our most advanced 3D-printed padding technology.

THE FUTURE OF PERFORMANCE

Part of a new generation of Antares saddles, the Antares R1 Adaptive retains many iconic design features that made the original so popular among top athletes. First introduced over twenty years ago, Antares has appeared in nearly every Grand Tour since. Rethought with our 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.

3D-PRINTED PADDING

The Fizik Adaptive 3D-printed padding has been extended to the Antares family, creating the perfect solution for those seeking exceptional and lasting comfort on a high-performance, low-profile saddle designed to provide a greater sense of connection for optimal pedaling efficiency and power transfer.

CUSTOM ZONAL CUSHIONING

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

LAB TESTED, ROAD PROVEN

Using Carbon® technology, biomechanists and engineers have an unprecedented opportunity: to design and create multiple functional zones within the saddle, adjusting each separately for specific mechanical properties. Each of these key functional zones is designed for distinctive cushioning and mechanical response, progressively and seamlessly combined in the same padding. The result? A 60% reduction in peak pressure through better weight distribution for greater comfort across the entire saddle surface.

POWER TRANSFER AND PRESSURE RELIEF

Antares is a low-profile saddle with a tapered transition from nose to wing that helps riders pedal efficiently in any riding position. The 3D printed padding offers a responsive, race-ready feel to better connect the rider and bike. Thanks to this technology, we can incorporate a softer central zone instead of a traditional cutout to provide better pressure relief without sacrificing performance. Whether you're tackling a climb or maintaining pace on flat terrain, Antares R1 Adaptive is designed to support you.
