FIZIK ANTARES VERSUS EVO R3 ADAPTIVE CYCLING SADDLE

FIZIK ANTARES VERSUS EVO R3 ADAPTIVE CYCLING SADDLE

A new high-performance bike saddle with revolutionary 3D printed padding, high modulus full carbon shell and carbon rails offers a new level of comfort and support during your rides.

The evolution of digital 3D printing has allowed us to develop a new saddle without the constraints or limitations imposed by traditional production methods and materials. The adaptive saddle padding is made by Carbon using its revolutionary Digital Light Synthesis technology. DLS is an additive manufacturing process that uses digital ultraviolet light projection, oxygen-permeable optics, and programmable liquid resins to produce parts with excellent mechanical properties, resolution, and surface finish.

Using carbon technology, biomechanists and engineers have an unprecedented possibility: to design and produce multiple functional zones within the saddle, tuning them separately for specific mechanical properties. Each of these key functional zones is designed with distinctive cushioning and mechanical response, joined together progressively and seamlessly in the same padding.

Adaptive: Carbon® Digital Light Synthesis™ 3D printing technology, offering perfectly engineered zonal cushioning
Compared with Evo: Designed with a certain degree of flexibility and a full channel design to relieve pressure on the soft tissue area
R3: A combination of a rail-compatible carbon-reinforced nylon shell and a Kium hollow rail with a high strength-to-weight ratio
Intended use: road racing
Concepts: This is a product of the fizik Concepts program, an interdisciplinary collaboration of leading industry experts and academics carrying out research and analysis on technology, design, physiology and bikefitting in search of ways to improve cycling performance.
