The Future of Performance Part of a new generation of Antares saddles, the Antares R1 Adaptive retains many of the iconic design features that have made the original popular among top athletes. First introduced over twenty years ago, Antares has been a fixture in nearly every Grand Tour since. Reimagined with innovative Adaptive padding, the Antares R1 Adaptive is poised to continue its legacy. Designed to deliver both performance and comfort across road, cyclocross, and cross-country disciplines, this saddle saves weight with a newly designed 7x9 mm carbon rail.
3D-Printed Padding Fizik Adaptive 3D-printed padding has now been incorporated into the Antares family, offering exceptional, long-lasting comfort on a low-profile performance saddle that enhances the rider's connection to the bike for optimal pedaling efficiency and power transfer.
Tailored Zonal Cushioning The evolution of digital 3D printing has enabled the development of a saddle free from the constraints of traditional production methods and materials. The Adaptive saddle padding is crafted by Carbon using their revolutionary Digital Light Synthesis technology. This additive manufacturing process employs 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, biomechanics and engineers can design and manufacture multiple functional zones within the saddle, each fine-tuned for specific mechanical properties. These key functional zones are seamlessly integrated, resulting in a 60% reduction in peak pressure through improved weight distribution, enhancing comfort across the entire saddle surface.
Power Transfer & Pressure Relief Antares is a low-profile saddle with a tapered transition from nose to wing, aiding in efficient pedaling across all riding positions. The 3D-printed padding provides a responsive, race-ready feel that enhances the connection between rider and bike. This technology allows for the inclusion of a softer central zone instead of a traditional cut-out, providing better pressure relief without compromising performance. Whether attacking a climb or maintaining tempo on flat terrain, the Antares R1 Adaptive is designed to offer consistent support.
