Introducing the Fizik Vento Antares R1 Adaptive saddle, a high - performance cycling essential. It features a sleek, streamlined shape with a tapered nose - to - wing transition. Now equipped with our state - of - the - art Adaptive padding, a revolutionary 3D - printed technology. As part of the new Antares saddle generation, it retains iconic design elements that have made it a favorite among top athletes for over two decades. Antares has been present in nearly every Grand Tour, backing cycling legends like Wout Van Aert and Jonas Vingegaard. This saddle is crafted for riders who demand both performance and comfort. It's been race - tested worldwide, from road cyclists to cyclocross and cross - country enthusiasts. Thanks to its newly designed 7x9 mm carbon rail, it saves weight without sacrificing strength. The Fizik Adaptive 3D - printed padding in the Antares family offers long - lasting comfort on a low - profile saddle, enhancing pedaling efficiency and power transfer. With tailored zonal cushioning, this saddle is made using Carbon®'s Digital Light Synthesis™ technology. This allows for the creation of multiple functional zones, each engineered for specific mechanical properties. The result is a 60% reduction in peak pressure, ensuring comfort across the entire saddle surface. The low - profile design and tapered transition assist riders in efficient pedaling in every position. The 3D - printed padding provides a responsive, race - ready feel, connecting the rider and the bike. Instead of a traditional cut - out, it has a softer central zone for better weight distribution, pressure relief, and comfort on long rides. Whether you're climbing or maintaining speed on flat ground, the flatter, slightly wider nose makes fore - and - aft movement easier and provides an optimal power - producing base. Available in two sizes: SIZE 140 mm (Length: 267 mm, Width: 140 mm, Height at 75mm width: 50mm, Length from nose to 75mm width: 147 mm, Weight: 180 g, Rail: 7x9 mm) and SIZE 150 mm (Length: 267 mm, Width: 150 mm, Height at 75mm width: 50 mm, Length from nose to 75mm width: 147 mm, Weight: 185 g, Rail: 7x9 mm). It belongs to the VENTO performance racing series developed with professional cyclists.
Using the Fizik Vento Antares R1 Adaptive saddle is easy. First, make sure it's properly installed on your bike according to the bike's instructions. Adjust the height and angle to suit your riding style and comfort. When riding, the flatter and slightly wider nose makes it easy to move forward and backward on the saddle, giving you better control during climbs and sprints. For maintenance, clean the saddle regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the 3D - printed padding. After cleaning, dry it thoroughly to prevent mold or mildew. Store the bike in a dry place when not in use. If you notice any damage to the saddle, such as tears in the padding or cracks in the rail, stop using it immediately and contact the manufacturer for repair or replacement advice. This saddle is designed to last, but proper care will ensure it serves you well for a long time.
