Fizik Antares Versus Evo R1 Adaptive Carbon Road Bike Saddle

A new performance saddle with a revolutionary 3D printed padding, high module full carbon shell and carbon rail offers a new concept of comfort, support on your ride experience.. A gradual transition from nose to side wings allows smooth position changes while guiding the bike. The waved kick tail provides lower-back support to help riders hold their position while tackling technical climbs as well as giving greater control during the electric kick of assistance.

The evolution of digital 3D printing allowed Fizik to develop a new road bike saddle without the constraints or limitations imposed by traditional production methods and materials. The Adaptive bike saddle padding is crafted by carbon using its revolutionary Digital Light Synthesis technology. The DLS 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.

Using the carbon technology, biomechanists and engineers have an unprecedented possibility to design and manufacture multiple functional zones within the bike saddle, tuning each of them separately for specific mechanical properties. Each of these key functional zones is engineered with a distinctive cushioning and mechanical response, joined together progressively and seamlessly in the same padding.

Professional road bike cyclists and amateur riders were tested in both the fizik labs and on the road. During each development phase, every iteration was carefully tested. A great focus has been put on understanding how the pressure patterns change according to different bike geometries, riding positions, and riding styles.

The Fizik Antares Versus Evo R1 adaptive carbon road bike saddle is very easy to clean. Even with the filthiest road muck, all you need to do is simply hose it over with water. Whatever gets in, gets out. Fizik has put it through the most severe tests, simulating accelerated weathering, UV aging and wear resistance by following strict protocols.
