The Fizik Vento Antares R5 saddle is an outstanding choice for cyclists in search of a medium - profiled saddle with a cut - out to prevent pressure and numbness. As part of the new Antares saddle generation, it retains many iconic design elements that made the original a top pick among leading athletes. This low - profile saddle features a smooth transition from the nose to the wing, which enables efficient pedaling in all riding positions. Whether you're tackling a steep climb or maintaining a steady pace on flat ground, the Antares R5 offers excellent support. Its flatter and slightly wider nose makes it easier to move forward and backward, serving as an ideal base for generating power. The ergonomic cut - out, developed through detailed pressure analysis and medical expert input, relieves pressure and promotes blood flow. The low - profile padding uses double - density foam: firmer under the ischial bones and softer at the nose, providing the right support for every rider, regardless of their riding style, without causing excessive pressure. This saddle is designed for performance - oriented cyclists who don't want to compromise on comfort. It has been proven in races by athletes worldwide, from road racers to cyclocross and cross - country riders.
