Fizik Vento Antares R3 Saddle

Description

Performance That Doesn't Sacrifice Comfort

The Fizik Vento Antares R3 Open is a lightweight, versatile racing bike saddle, featuring a low-profile design, carbon-reinforced nylon shell, and carbon rails for balanced performance in a variety of riding situations.

Antares is a low profile saddle with a transition from nose to wing that helps deliver efficient pedaling in every riding positions. No matter if you're attacking a climb or holding the tempo on flat terrain, this saddle is designed to support you. Moving fore and aft has been made easier by a flatter, slightly wider nose that acts as an optimal base from which to produce power.

The Open version features an ergonomic cutout, developed using detailed pressure analysis and input from medical experts, that helps to relieve pressure and facilitate blood flow. Additionally, the low-profile padding has been engineered with a double-density foam, firmer on the ischial bones, softer on the nose, to provide every rider the right support, regardless of riding position, without creating undue pressure.

Antares is a name that's appeared in nearly every Grand Tour of the past two decades, earning top podium spots in the Tour de France, the Giro, and the Vuelta over and over again—and it's only getting better with age. Since its launch in the early 2000s, the Antares racing saddle has become a fixture beneath the leading athletes in the sport, riders like Chris Froome, Vincenzo Nibali, Alejandro Valverde, Greg Van Avermaet, Wout van Aert—even last year's TdF winner, Jonas Vingegaard. And now, Antares is back and better than ever.
