Fizik Antares R3 Colour Edition Saddle

Fizik Antares R3 Colour Edition Saddle

This limited edition road bike saddle features a hard-wearing microtex cover that’s ready for wherever your road journey takes you. Fizik has also kitted it out with a carbon thermoplastic composite shell, which delivers an excellent balance of comfort, low weight and flexibility, making it ideal for transferring all of your leg power to your pedals. Thanks to its shell’s Wing Flex technology, this model benefits from additional flexibility along its edges where your inner thighs make contact with the saddle. This extra flexibility means you can achieve a full range of leg movement in a wider range of positions. Another highlight is its K:ium alloy rails, which provide a strong and secure hold to your seatpost so you can stay in full control as you clock up the miles. Drawing inspiration from the aesthetics of the Arione saddle, this limited colour version adds some extra style to your ride with its eye-catching design.

Antares R1 is for The Chameleon: Medium Spine

If you have an intermediate degree of spinal flexibility (approximately 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a chameleon. Your degree of spinal flexibility helps you so far, before you need to rotate your pelvis slightly to achieve fully the performance position.

You will benefit from the increased width and slight curvature of the Antares shape.

Technologies:

• Integrated Clip System: The Integrated Clip System (ICS) is an integrated interface in the saddle’s base to allow quick attachment and removal of ICS accessories such as the Fi’zi:k saddle Pa:k and Blin:k light. It is a clean, easy, fast and secure attachment that does not require any tools.
• K:ium Rails: K:ium is a Fizik proprietary rail formulation. It’s the combination of a particular metal alloy, a specific tubular design and a special finishing process that increases fatigue performance on the rail surface. Fact: 8% weight reduction compared to solid titanium. K:ium features a high strength-to-weight ratio grade and high corrosion resistance.
• Wing Flex Technology: Wing Flex shell has engineered flexibility along the edges where the inner thighs contact the saddle. By allowing this area to flex, the rider can achieve a full range of leg movement in a wide range of riding positions. Wing Flex allows the saddle to adapt to the rider rather than the rider having to get used to the saddle.
