Fizik Vento Antares R5

Fizik Vento Antares R5 cycling saddle

The Fizik Vento Antares R5 is a performance road saddle designed to make the racing DNA of the Antares range more accessible, without compromising on comfort or pedaling efficiency. Inspired by models used by professionals in the biggest races on the calendar, it combines a low, dynamic shape with a construction designed to offer greater flexibility and durability for everyday use.

With its soft nylon shell, S-Alloy rails and dual-density padding, the Vento Antares R5 is aimed at cyclists looking for a sporty, high-performance and comfortable saddle for long, fast rides.

A design born from competition

An iconic name in the peloton for over twenty years, the Antares has accompanied many winners in the Tour de France, the Giro and the Vuelta.

This new generation retains the iconic lines that made it successful, with a low profile and a smooth transition between the beak and the wings to promote efficient pedaling in all phases of the race.

• design inspired by competition
• low and dynamic shape
• ideal for road, cyclocross and XC
• excellent high-intensity support

Optimal power transfer

The Vento Antares R5 was designed to support cyclists in all pedaling positions.

The slightly flatter and wider nose facilitates forward/backward movement on the saddle and provides excellent support during accelerations, restarts and climbs.

This geometry optimizes power transfer while maintaining good freedom of movement.

• excellent support during sprinting
• good mobility on the saddle
• smooth and efficient pedaling
• stability at high cadence

Ergonomic cut and lasting comfort

To improve comfort on long rides, the saddle incorporates a wide central ergonomic cutout developed from pressure analyses and advice from medical experts.

This opening helps to reduce pressure points and improve blood circulation, especially during long rides or more aggressive positions.

• ergonomic central channel
• pressure reduction
• improved blood circulation
• long-distance comfort

Dual-density foam: targeted support

Dual-density foam provides an ideal balance between support and comfort.

Firmer under the ischial tuberosities for better support, it becomes more flexible at the beak to improve comfort during position changes.

This design offers an excellent compromise between performance and durability.

• dual-density foam
• reinforced support under the supports
• optimized comfort at the front
• Ideal for long sporting outings

Robust and responsive construction

The nylon shell provides slight vertical flexibility to improve comfort, while the 7x7 mm S-Alloy rails ensure excellent robustness and very good longevity.

The Vento Antares R5 is therefore an excellent option for cyclists wishing to rediscover the sensations of a racing saddle with more tolerance for everyday use.

• soft nylon shell
• 7x7 mm S-Alloy rails
• good durability
• excellent comfort/performance ratio
