Features

THE FUTURE OF PERFORMANCE
Part of a new generation of Antares saddles, the Antares R3 Adaptive maintains many iconic design features that have long made the original so popular amongst leading athletes. First introduced over twenty years ago, Antares has appeared in nearly every Grand Tour since. Reimagined in innovative Adaptive padding, Antares is ready to make history again. Delivering performance and comfort, from road to CX and XC, the Antares R3 balances strength and weight savings with a carbon-reinforced nylon shell and Kium hollow rail combo.

3D-PRINTED PADDING
Fizik Adaptive 3D-printed padding has expanded to the Antares family, creating the perfect match for those who want 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 development of a new saddle without the constraints or limitations imposed by traditional production methods and materials. The Adaptive saddle padding is crafted by Carbon® using their Digital Light Synthesis™ technology. This is an additive manufacturing process which uses 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 have the possibility to design and manufacture multiple functional zones within the saddle, tuning each separately for specific mechanical properties. Each functional zone is engineered for a distinct cushioning and mechanical response, joined progressively and seamlessly in the same padding. The result is a reduction in peak pressure through improved weight distribution for increased comfort across the entire saddle surface.

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. The 3D-printed padding provides a responsive, race-ready feeling to better connect rider and bike. Through this technology, a softer central zone is incorporated instead of a traditional cut-out to provide pressure relief without sacrificing performance. Whether attacking a climb or holding tempo on flat terrain, Antares R3 Adaptive is designed to support you.
