Fizik Antares R3 Versus Evo Saddle

Fizik Antares R3 Versus Evo Saddle Info

The Antares saddle from Fizik is for chameleons. The Antares R3 Versus Evo Saddle is the channeled version thereof. It shares the same shell shape as other Antares but has a pressure relief channel for those who feel a little too much down there; this is a far more compliant saddle than the regular R3. The R3 designation means it uses the same top as the R1, but with less expensive Kium stainless
steel rails instead of carbon-fiber.

Chameleon is a term from Fizik’s Spine Concept fit system. Chameleon is someone who has medium back flexibility and low pelvic rotation, or halfway between a Snake (Arione) and Bull (Aliante). But really, if you like a gentle curve and a neutral fit, the saddle shape works great.

The saddle is 273mm long by 139mm wide in Regular and 275 x 149mm in Large. It always had a good bit of comfort thanks to the Wing Flex design of the sides of the carbon-reinforced nylon composite shell.

The rest of the saddle is built as you’d expect from Fizik. They cover the shell, save the channel, with comfort core foam. Then they cover the foam with Microtex, a tough, light, weather-resistant synthetic leather.

The Fizik logo in back covers their integrated clip system for lights and bags.

Weight for the Fizik Antares R3 Versus Evo Regular Saddle is 215g.
