Fizik Antares

I have a Specialized Roubaix which came with a stock Toupe. It was a really painful for me to ride anything over 20 miles. I did my research and figure out that a Fizik Antares may be a good fit for me (I am a chameleon on Fizik's chart).When I received the saddle I was disappointed at first - it looked almost exact as the Toupe. But after I installed it and rode for 30 miles I changed my opinion! No pain at all! And no complaints since then! I really feel how well my saddle bones sit on my Antares!Very well made and a perfect fit! Thank you Fizik!

This is a fantastic road bike saddle. It has a channel which alleviates any pressure on the perineal area without resorting to a hole in the saddle that lets water through. The only slight negative is that the surface of the saddle is quite smooth and doesn't provide the ultimate grip of other saddles in the Fizik range when putting down power. That said it's not a huge issue, just that some other Antares saddles have a higher friction surface. If you ride long and hard on a road bike then you should definitely try this saddle: it's a game changer.

You would not think this seat would be as "comfortable" as it is! There is nothing to it. Like most good seats, it is most painful for the first 10 minutes of the ride, then is not noticed for an hour or two, then is noticed. Not unlike any other great bike saddle I have owned. No regrets and I love the minimalist design! Make sure you go to the manufacturer website for sizing and body flexibility typing.

My first impression and expectations were very high for this saddle. It appears to be well made, light weight and a good looking saddle.I really want this saddle to work, however after a closer look. The carbon rails didn’t have the quality look as I would expect from a Fizik saddle and the saddle material has very slick feel.After brief ride I realized this saddle wasn’t for me, and I returned itPlease note all saddles are very personal and what might be right or wrong for me may not be for you!

Going back to Fizik saddle

I had high hopes for this saddle, gave it a couple hundred miles and lots of adjustments but I ultimately gave up on it. For me, the issue is that there is almost no flex in this saddle. The middle channel ends up being more of a pointy ridge that just jams up into soft tissue and wreaks havoc. This design flaw caused uncomfortable and often painful rides. Cannot recommend.

If you are used to the previous generation then this one will not be the same. Much harder the before. Not for me.

After a couple hundred miles, seems like a good fit. Saddle is supportive with little flex.

Well made it should last for years

Saddles are very personal; what works for one person may not work for another. My experience with this saddle has been very positive. It replaced an older Fzik saddle that had 12+ years of use.My ride profile is road bikes, rides of 6+ hours and a rider weight of 200#.Fizik makes a tool/app that helps you select the correct saddle. I used the tool, it recommended this saddle and I could not be happier.

Selle légère, confortable et qui absorbe bien les vibrations de la route mais elle est déjà déchirée. 4-5 sorties seulement.

De este asiento su comodidad y durabilidad ya conozco esta marca y son excelentes productos

I rode one of my friends bike with this saddle and ordered this one that evening. This is the most comfortable saddle i have used on my road bike. Its also light weight but that's a bonus for me more than a requirment.
