Discover the Fizik Antares Adaptive Vento R3 Carbon Saddle at Escapa — ideal for maximizing your performance during workouts thanks to its design, which offers optimal pedaling efficiency and power transfer.
All this is made possible by 3D Carbon® printing technology and the combination of a carbon-reinforced nylon shell that adapts to your riding style and a hollow Kium rail.
A high-performance saddle with an aerodynamic shape and a tapered transition between the nose and the wing, now available with Adaptive padding, our most advanced 3D-printed padding technology.
THE FUTURE OF PERFORMANCE
As part of a new generation of Antares saddles, the Antares R3 Adaptive retains many iconic design features that have long made the original so popular among top athletes. First introduced more than twenty years ago, Antares has appeared in nearly every Grand Tour since then. Reimagined with our innovative adaptive padding, Antares is ready to make history once 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 a combination of Kium hollow rails.
3D-PRINTED CUSHIONING
Fizik’s 3D-printed Adaptive padding has been extended to the Antares family, creating the perfect combination for those who want exceptional, long-lasting comfort in a low-profile performance saddle designed to provide a more connected feel for optimal pedaling efficiency and power transfer.
CUSTOM ZONAL CUSHIONING
Advances in 3D digital printing have allowed us to develop a new saddle free from the limitations imposed by traditional production methods and materials. The adaptive saddle padding is manufactured by Carbon® using its revolutionary Digital Light Synthesis™ technology. DLS is an additive manufacturing process that uses digital ultraviolet light projection, oxygen-permeable optics, and programmable liquid resins to produce parts with excellent mechanical properties, resolution, and surface finish.
TESTED IN THE LAB, TESTED ON THE ROAD
Using Carbon® technology, biomechanists and engineers have an unprecedented opportunity: to design and manufacture multiple functional zones within the saddle, tuning each one separately for specific mechanical properties. Each of these key functional zones is designed to deliver distinctive cushioning and mechanical response, seamlessly and progressively integrated within the same padding. The result? A 60% reduction in peak pressure through improved weight distribution for greater comfort across the entire saddle surface.
POWER TRANSFER AND PRESSURE RELIEF
The Antares is a low-profile saddle with a tapered transition from the tip to the wing that helps riders pedal efficiently in any riding position. The 3D-printed padding provides a responsive, race-ready feel to better connect the rider and the bike. Through this technology, we can incorporate a softer central zone instead of a traditional cutout to provide better pressure relief without sacrificing performance. Whether you’re attacking a climb or maintaining your pace on flat terrain, the Antares R3 Adaptive is designed to help you.
