Innovative 3D-Printed Cycling Saddle for Vento Antares Audience

About this item

• THE FUTURE OF PERFORMANCE: As part of a new generation of Antares saddles, the Antares R1 Adaptive maintains many iconic design features that have long made the original popular among leading athletes. First introduced over twenty years ago, Antares has been featured in nearly every Grand Tour. Reimagined with our innovative Adaptive padding, Antares is ready to make history again.
• 3D-PRINTED PADDING: Fizik Adaptive 3D-printed padding has been added to the Antares family, creating the perfect match for those seeking exceptional, long-lasting comfort on a low-profile performance saddle designed to allow a more connected feeling for optimal pedaling efficiency and power transfer.
• TAILORED ZONAL CUSHIONING: The evolution of digital 3D printing has allowed us to develop a new saddle without the constraints of traditional production methods and materials. The Adaptive saddle padding is crafted by Carbon using their revolutionary Digital Light Synthesis technology.
• LAB TESTED, ROAD PROVEN: Utilizing Carbon technology, biomechanics and engineers have an unprecedented possibility: to design and manufacture multiple functional zones within the saddle, tuning each of them separately for specific mechanical properties. Each of these key functional zones is engineered for distinctive cushioning and mechanical response, joined together progressively and seamlessly in the same padding.
• POWER TRANSFER & PRESSURE RELIEF: Antares is a low-profile saddle with a tapered transition from nose to wing that helps riders deliver efficient pedaling in every riding position. 3D-printed padding provides a responsive, race-ready feeling to better connect rider and bike. Through this technology, we are able to incorporate a softer central zone instead of a traditional cut-out to provide better pressure relief without sacrificing performance.
