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.

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.

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.
