Description
Noteworthy Neutral Support.
Fizik's Antares R1 Versus EVO offers high-performance support to riders that need a neutral saddle profile and a full-length pressure relief channel.
Made for "Chameleon" riders with medium body flexibility and low pelvic rotation while pedaling, this saddle has a neutral profile with flex, so you can move around to find your optimal position for generating power and sustained comfort.
The shell is made from composite Carbon-reinforced nylon, featuring Wing Flex technology that enables flexibility where your thighs meet the saddle. The rail is made from lightweight yet strong, Braided Carbon. Comfort Core foam beneath the sleek, durable Microtex cover ensures comfort that's further enhanced by the full-length pressure relief channel that helps reduce pressure on sensitive soft tissue while also distributing support across the entire surface of the saddle so your weight is properly supported.

Reviews
Light, easy to adjust padding where needed and with the central canal, no loading where it is not wanted. I used to think I had a good saddle but could only ride about 10 miles before the saddle started getting uncomfortable; I have almost doubled my comfort. Worth the price.
Reviewing a saddle is like reviewing underwear since people have preferences based on personal criteria. That being said, I like this saddle. One thing, the carbon rails are fatter than standard rails, and may not fit some seat posts. My Lynskey titanium couldn't accommodate it, but the Profile fast forward did. Ok, the padding isn't plush, but I did a 112miler on it out of the box and felt good. The thin profile also didn't chafe, which has been a problem with wider saddles. The channel design worked great for pressure relief. Especially for the price I got it, its a great deal.
Was currently using a Brooks C13 Carbon saddle but it was a little to hard on the tush so switched to this saddle and right away could feel the difference. Recently did a Century on it and no pain or discomfort. Will keep this one on the bike until it wears out.
Full disclosure, the Aliante suits me better because I rotate my hips forward when riding even though I am flexible like the chameleon archetype. Focus on hip rotation more than spine flexibility when choosing Fiziks saddles helped me choose the right saddle.
The Fizik weight average speed saddle width decision guide also worked for me resulting in a wide saddle width even with 120 cm sit bones.
It is a lovely saddle that looks as nice as it is high tech... Dense padding and enough flex but not too much. Oh and light too.
Bought this saddle after trying out a Brooks C13 all weather saddle which was a little to hard for me. Overall great comfort and just the right amount of padding for me. At first wasnt sure but after a few rides my bottom thanked me. If you are unhappy with your current saddle I would give this one a try.
This makes my fourth Fizik saddle over the years. I was replacing a older version of the Antrares saddle, and remember how long the previous saddle took to break in. This one was dialed in right out of the box. Absolutely the most comfortable saddle I have ridden. I highly recommend it.
