Performance cycling saddle with a revolutionary 3d printed padding offering seamlessly engineered zonal cushioning.
A 3D PRINTED PADDING
The evolution of digital 3D printing 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 its 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.
TAILORED ZONAL CUSHIONING
Using Carbon technology, biomechanists 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 with a distinctive cushioning and mechanical response, joined together progressively and seamlessly in the same padding.
LAB TESTED, ROAD PROVEN
Professional 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.
FROM AN IDEA, DIRECTLY TO SCALABLE PRODUCTION
Thanks to this one-of-its-kind combination of process and material, we’ve been given the chance to develop a product five times faster, creating and field-testing hundreds of iterations. Being applicable to mass production, this technology completely remaps the traditional manufacturing process, accelerating and leaping over all intermediate phases.
LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE
The 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. We’ve put it through the most severe tests, simulating accelerated weathering, UV aging and wear resistance by following strict protocols.

Only have a couple of hundred miles (320km) on the saddle. It took a couple of rides to get used to it, switched from Arione R1. So far, it's been comfortable, the material is grippy. I do like the cut out.

La selle est arrivée rapidement lorsque j'ai passé la commande. Ma première impression est qu'elle n'est pas très différente de mon ancienne Antares R1 - Elle est confortable. Je n'ai fait que de courtes sorties de 60 km jusqu'à présent cette année. Peut-être que ce sera différent lorsque je commencerai à faire de plus longues randonnées.

This saddle is not right for me. I need more padding/support/width in the nose for the times when I use it. Otherwise it seems well-built, it is beautiful to look at, and I suspect it will be comfortable for some others.

Antares Rx adaptive saddle looks good, and it arrived promptly., There is however an annoying bump at the tip of the round nose of the saddle that catches the crotch of my pants when I'm pedalling standing up. This bump is not on the older 00 adaptive saddle, and it's disappointing this was not fixed in the design phase of production. I don't think this saddle is more comfortable than the Tempo. Why are saddles with the saddle bag clip fitting still being made, but the saddle bag with the clip is not? Also had trouble redeeming the 20% discount promoted at the time of purchase.

selle très chère et pas du tout le confort espéré après 3 sorties et 200 kms faits, aucune aide sur le site pour choisir la taille de selle adaptée!!!! sérieusement, pas de mesure de l'écart des ischions et pas d'aide à la commande en fonction de cela, une fois reçue la selle, (hyper rapide grâce à UPS) aucune indication sur le type de montage dans la boite ou sur internet, youtube ou le site Fizik, c'est pas très sérieux pour un équipement haut de gamme ultra cher (inclinaison, hauteur, angle, recul etc...) alors que la concurrence (Specialized pour ne pas les citer) le fait. La selle en elle même est bien faite mais je n'ai pas du tout un confort meilleur, loin de là, ma selle gel précédente qui coute la moitié du prix de celle ci, me parait finalement plus confortable, j'essaye de peaufiner les réglages mais pour l'instant très déçu de son inconfort alors que c'est l'argument de vente numéro 1 de cet article!....

The most comfortable seat I have ever owned. I recently completed an imperial double-century and I have experienced no pelvic pain or numbness. As of now, I cannot give a fair assessment on the saddle's durability as I have only been using the product for over a week. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the Fi'zi:k Antares Versus Evo R1 Adaptive saddle.

The saddle is exactly what my riding friends and online reviewers described...very comfortable with good support and the ability to easily slide up or back depending on my preferred position during a climb or on the flats.

I replaced my well used Antares of several years with the R1 Adaptive. I was curious about the 3-D printing tech and the feel. So far so good after several stretches of riding. The material seems to be settling things with my body mechanics. You have to like a little rigidity, and no doubt it will not be for everyone.

Hello!
Even after the first ride I felt that this is my saddle. I do not feel any discomfort compared to all the other seats I have used before. After 5 years of riding a road bike I found the right choice of saddle.
Thank you fizik!
