Unparalleled Performance:

Tailored Zonal Cushioning: DLS 3D printing allows for customized padding zones, optimizing pressure distribution and reducing peak pressure by 60% for superior comfort.
Seamless Power Transfer: The tapered nose-to-wing transition and responsive 3D-printed padding enhance connection between rider and bike for efficient pedaling.

Designed for Champions:

Legacy of Excellence: Part of the iconic Antares family, the R1 Adaptive maintains features trusted by leading athletes for over two decades.
Lightweight Construction: The newly designed 7x9 mm carbon rail keeps weight minimal for optimal performance.

Conquer any terrain:

Versatility for All Rides: Ideal for road cycling, cyclocross, and cross-country, the Antares R1 Adaptive delivers comfort and support on every adventure.

ADAPTIVE: Carbon^® Digital Light Synthesis™ 3D-printing technology, offering seamlessly engineered zonal cushioning
ANTARES: Low-profile performance saddle designed to allow a more connected feeling for optimal pedaling efficiency and power transfer
R1: Combination of a ride-compliant, carbon-reinforced nylon shell and a highly stiff carbon rail

	The Future Of Performance Part of a new generation of Antares saddles, the Antares R1 Adaptive maintains many iconic design features that have long made the original so popular amongst leading athletes. First introduced over twenty years ago, Antares has appeared in nearly every Grand Tour since. Reimagined in our innovative Adaptive padding, Antares is ready to make history again. Designed to deliver both performance and comfort, from road to cyclocross and cross-country, the Antares R1 Adaptive saves weight thanks to a newly designed 7x9 mm carbon rail.
	3D-Printed Padding Fizik Adaptive 3D-printed padding has expanded to the Antares family, creating the perfect match for those who want exceptional, long-lasting comfort on a low-profile performance saddle designed to allow a more connected feeling for optimal pedaling efficiency and power transfer.
	Tailored Zonal Cushioning The evolution of digital 3D printing has allowed us to develop a new saddle without the constraints or limitations imposed by traditional production methods and materials. The Adaptive saddle padding is crafted by Carbon® using their revolutionary Digital Light Synthesis™ technology. 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.
	Lab Tested, Road Proven Using Carbon® technology, biomechanics and engineers have an unprecedented possibility: to design and manufacture multiple functional zones within the saddle, tuning each of them separately for specific mechanical properties. Each of these key functional zones is engineered for a distinctive cushioning and mechanical response, joined together progressively and seamlessly in the same padding. The result? A 60% reduction in peak pressure through improved weight distribution for increased comfort across the entire saddle surface.
	Power Transfer & Pressure Relief Antares is a low-profile saddle with a tapered transition from nose to wing that helps riders deliver efficient pedaling in every riding position. 3D-printed padding provides a responsive, race-ready feeling to better connect rider and bike. Through this technology, we are able to incorporate a softer central zone instead of a traditional cut-out to provide better pressure relief without sacrificing performance. No matter if you’re attacking a climb or holding the tempo on flat terrain, Antares R1 Adaptive is designed to support you.
