The Fizik Antares R3 Open saddle is made for those that Fizik calls ‘Chameleons’. A Chameleon is a cyclist with a quite flexible back. In terms of its form, the Antares Open saddle is a mix between the Arione Open and Aliante Open saddles. This saddle offers good support in all cycling positions. The Fizik Antares R3 Open is a light and stiff saddle and a part of the Antares collection. This is because of the carbon reinforced nylon shell, Wing Flex and the Kium rails.
Saddle shape
This saddle has a semi-round rear part, making it highly suitable for riders who move a little while they ride and whose hips rock a little from side to side. The semi-round shape provides plenty of support for those riders while maintaining sufficient freedom of movement compared to a flat saddle.
Flexibility
This is a semi-flat saddle, meaning that the saddle is flat at the front, and raised a little at the back. The shape makes it particularly suitable for riders with a moderate degree of flexibility in their spine. This has to do with how easily these riders can rotate their pelvis: they might need a little extra support when riding upright, but can manage on their own when riding on the drops.
Cut-out
This saddle has a cut-out and alleviates pressure for those who often experience discomfort or pressure to their soft tissue areas.
The Kium rail is made of aluminium alloy and ensures a good connection with your seat post.
Wing Flex Technology
By making the sides of the saddle slighty flexible, the comfort of this type of saddle is increased. The Wing Flex technology creates more space for your legs, so that you can transfer your power easier and better.
ICS: Integrated Clip System
At the back of the saddle, you can attach a tail light or a saddle bag (comes without light/saddle bag).

Excellent choice based on Mantel choice aid
I had had a comfi gel saddle from Sella Italia for a few years and thought it would be wise to replace it once . Based on the 30-day money-back policy of mantel, I opted for this Fizzik. The decision aid was very helpful. The saddle performs beyond expectations , it is not just comfortable , it provides better balance and less friction on the inside of the legs . My cadence and suppleness of stroke have improved significantly. For me at least it's a real winner.
