The Antares R5 sits in the middle of Fizik's "A" range of saddles, squarely between the bullish Aliante and the snaking Arione. In Fizik's Linnaean taxonomy, the Antares is a Chameleon, which means it combines elements of the other "A" saddles for a fit that's as mutable as your riding style.
The Antares' flat profile bows into a slightly rounded transverse section that lets you cycle through your muscle groups by adjusting your position in the saddle, something we especially like during long, grind-it-out climbs. Sit back to engage your gluts, and slide forward on the nose to make your quads do the lion's share.
The shell is carbon-reinforced nylon, and it incorporates Fizik's Wing Flex technology for sit-bone support that still flexes at the edges to accommodate the pedaling motion. It's about ten grams heavier than the R3's fiberglass shell, but every bit as forgiving over long days in the saddle. The entire length of the Antares is covered in durable microtex fabric. The rails are made from Kium, an alloy that enjoys an 8% weight reduction compared to titanium without sacrificing durability and corrosion resistance.
