It’s a name that’s appeared in nearly every Grand Tour of the past two decades, earning top podium spots in the Tour de France, the Giro, and the Vuelta over and over again—and it’s only getting better with age. We’re talking about Antares. Since its launch in the early 2000s, our Antares racing saddle has become a fixture beneath the leading athletes in the sport, riders like Chris Froome, Vincenzo Nibali, Alejandro Valverde, Greg Van Avermaet, Wout van Aert—even last year’s TDF winner, Jonas Vingegaard. And now, Antares is back and better than ever. Take your seat at the winner’s circle with the all-new Antares.
PERFORMANCE CHOSEN BY PROS
As a member of the new generation of Antares saddles, the Antares R5 maintains many iconic design features that made the original one of the most popular amongst leading athletes.
POWER TRANSFER
Antares is a low profile saddle with a transition from nose to wing that helps deliver efficient pedaling in every riding positions. No matter if you’re attacking a climb or holding the tempo on flat terrain, this saddle is designed to support you. Moving fore and aft has been made easier by a flatter, slightly wider nose that acts as an optimal base from which to produce power.
PRESSURE RELIEF
Antares features an ergonomic cutout, developed using detailed pressure analysis and input from medical experts, that helps to relieve pressure and facilitate blood flow. Additionally, the low-profile padding has been engineered with a double-density foam, firmer on the ischial bones, softer on the nose, to provide every rider the right support, regardless of riding position, without creating undue pressure.
LIGHTWEIGHT, STRONG, RESPONSIVE
Antares is designed for riders seeking a performance saddle that doesn’t sacrifice comfort. As our performance option, Antares has been race-proven by athletes around the world, from those competing on roads to cyclocross and cross-country riders.

FEEDBACK
Delivery swift, saddle fantastic. Shorter nose than Arione, wider notch, sit bones fit perfectly. Have ridden 4000 miles so far this year, up to September- 400 on new saddle and I’m very satisfied. Fair price, great delivery

After suffering from a lot of pain from my old saddle I decided to buy a new one with a cut out and I chose this one, and after testing this saddle a few days in a row I would say it’s very comfy and the cutout does its job well and my sit bones don’t feel uncomfortable or in any pain during or after rides. Definitely 110 dollars well spent.

My new bike came with a Vento Antares R7 saddle which is only available to bike manufacturers. I was told the R5 is the one that is sold to the public. It's exactly the same except for the white branding. Very comfortable. This one (R5) is for my new bike and the other one (R7) will go on my trainer bike.

O sa de calitate superioara. Robusta chiar daca ea e skinny, acum bicicleta mea fixed gear se muleaza pe sosea si mersul si senzatiile in timpul pedalatului sunt naturale. Istoria , profesionalismul si respectul italienesc pentru ciclism se simte in aceasta sa superioara. Felicitari!

This saddle is fantastic, believe me I,ve been through a few. I know saddles are a personal thing.
I have the last model Antares r3 open , which is on my mtb now. This newer version is slightly firmer than the previous model but comfortable to me. You get a larger relief channel which is great, the padding is firmer round it , so it doesn’t squish in the channel and sometimes aggregates that area.
Great work fizik 👏
