FizikAntares Versus Evo R1 Adaptive Saddle(Return to Product Page)

I bought this in the throes of winter training for an upcoming Gran Fondo and my trusty Fizik Antares R1, was just feeling a little too stiff anymore. While it may be ok on the road, it is several years old and decided it was time for an update. I generally wait a version or two before jumping into a new product. Knowing Fizik, I thought it would be worth the risk. There is a little break in time required but not much. Makes my 4+ hour endurance trainer sessions more tolerable. Initially, it is a bit tacky feeling and you cannot slide on it like a traditional saddle - a little frustrating. After a couple months of use, it is burnishing a bit, so smoother and more ability to shift weight as needed.

Cannot wait to get out on the road with this.

I�ve owned about 4 Antares saddles over the years. I�ve had them on my different bikes because of how well they work for me. This one is even better. I�ll have to order a second one for my other bike.

Different zones of pressure work well and definitely tech that I can see becoming the normal for high end saddles in a few years.
