One of the best racing saddles for cyclists who want a medium saddle profile and a cut-out to avoid pressure and numbness.
Performance chosen by pros
As a member of the new generation of Antares saddles, the Antares R5 maintains many iconic design features that made the original one of the most popular amongst leading athletes.
Power transfer & pressure relief
Antares is a low profile saddle with a transition from nose to wing that helps deliver efficient pedalling in every 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.
Antares features an ergonomic cut-out, 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.
