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.

PERFORMANCE CHOSEN BY PROS

As a member of the new generation of Antares saddles, the Antares R1 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 pedalling in all 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.

The Antares R1 saves weight thanks to a newly designed 7x9 mm carbon rail.
