Fizik Vento Antares R1 Light Cycling Saddle

The Fizik Vento Antares R1 Light is a high-performance road saddle designed for cyclists seeking maximum responsiveness, lightness, and freedom of movement. A direct descendant of an iconic line that has been present in the professional peloton for over twenty years, it combines a proven racing shape with a lightweight construction to meet the demands of modern competition.

Thanks to its carbon-reinforced nylon shell, 7x9 mm carbon rails and injected light EVA padding, this saddle offers an excellent compromise between performance, comfort and reduced weight.

A saddle designed for performance

The Vento Antares R1 Light retains the racing DNA that has made the Antares range a success with the best road, cyclocross and cross-country riders.

Its low profile and marked transition between the beak and the wings allow the cyclist to move easily forward or backward depending on the phase of effort, whether uphill, sprinting or on the flat.

• low profile, performance-oriented
• excellent freedom of movement
• ideal for competition
• road use, CX and XC

R1 Light construction: lightweight and responsive

Developed for demanding cyclists, the R1 Light construction emphasizes performance without neglecting comfort.

The carbon-reinforced nylon shell ensures excellent structural rigidity, while the ultra-stiff carbon rails optimize power transfer. The thin, responsive injected EVA padding reduces weight while maintaining precise support on long, sporty rides.

• carbon-reinforced nylon shell
• 7x9 mm carbon rails
• lightweight injected EVA foam
• rigid and twitchy platform

Power transmission and optimal mobility

The specific Antares shape was designed to accommodate changes in position on the bike.

The slightly flatter and wider nose provides stable support during intense efforts, while the rear area promotes ischial support and stability when pedaling.

This geometry allows for efficient power generation in all positions.

• excellent support during sprinting
• Smooth forward/rear mobility
• stability over long periods of recovery
• optimized power transfer

Obviously ergonomic and comfortable for long distances

Despite its performance focus, the Vento Antares R1 Light incorporates an ergonomic central cutout designed to reduce pressure points and improve blood circulation.

Developed from detailed pressure analyses and expert recommendations, this central channel significantly improves comfort on long and intensive rides.

• relief of the perineal area
• improved blood circulation
• lasting comfort
• ideal for long, fast outings
