Designed for cyclists seeking a high-performance saddle that doesn’t sacrifice comfort, the iconic Antares has distinguished itself in almost every Grand Tour of the last two decades. It’s a saddle of choice for teams like Team Visma | Lease a bike and Movistar.

Power Transfer and Pressure Relief

Fizik’s 3D-printed Adaptive padding has now extended to the Antares family, creating a platform for riders who want exceptional, long-lasting comfort on a performance saddle with a compact profile designed to provide a more connected feel with the bike for optimal pedaling efficiency and power transfer.

Tailored Zonal Cushioning

The evolution of 3D digital printing has allowed Fizik to develop a new saddle free from the constraints or limitations imposed by traditional production methods and materials. The Adaptive saddle padding is manufactured by Carbon® using revolutionary Digital Light Synthesis™ technology.

By leveraging technology, biomechanics, and Carbon® engineers, Fizik was able to incorporate multiple functional zones into the saddle, adjusting each in turn for specific mechanical properties.
