Fizik Antares 00 Carbon Saddle

You can be forgiven if you don’t know how flexible a chameleon is. What you will want to know is that the Fizik Antares 00 Saddle is not only among the lightest in the Fizik lineup, but also perfectly designed for you if you like to have a ton of flexibility in your saddle even if you are not quite as flexible as you were in your youth. Fizik has developed a group of saddles aimed at offering the perfect comfort and support for riders of all sorts of weights and flexibilities. Within their Spine Concept, the Antares is intended for the group of riders who are mildly flexible, but aren’t quite hanging with the folks who can touch their knuckles to the ground without bending the knees. And then receiving the 00 designation means that this is the top of the line Antares, with the most advanced methods and materials going into making this not only the shortest and widest of the Fizik line, but at 140 grams, also one of the lightest. The full carbon double shell construction uses the genius Fizik Wing Flex technology to ensure that the saddle will move with you pedal stroke by pedal stroke. The Wing Flex on both sides of the saddle moves with your legs’ pedaling motion to give just when and where you need it, but without sacrificing any of the support you require while putting the power down to your pedals. This design forces the saddle to adapt to the rider rather than the rider having to adapt to the saddle. Then it is covered in Fizik’s Microtex 00 Design which is durable while retaining an elegant, almost leather, look and feel to it. The Antares 00 Saddle uses their distinctive Mobius Carbon 7x9 mm. If there was once a time that you were afraid to trust such an important component as the saddle rails to a carbon construction, know that you no longer need to worry since Fizik carbon rails have withstood cols and cobbles with never a hitch. You shouldn’t need to be concerned about your seatpost being compatible with the Fizik, since anything vertical clamping will work with a 7x9 rail. By now the industry has gone to a standard of 7x9 carbon rails, to insure compliance. And nearly every manufacturer of seatposts produces an adapter for carbon rails. So that means that pretty much whatever you ride, you can get it to work with the Fizik Mobius braided carbon rails. If you are unfamiliar with the term “Mobius”, imagine taking a paper strip and giving it a half-twist, and then joining the ends of the strip together to form a loop, but then imagine a carbon-braided material instead of paper. It functions so well in this application because a one-piece Mobius rail distributes the weight from rider to saddle more evenly. Importantly, there is more surface contact with the Mobius rail, as opposed to a traditional rail that meets the saddle at just two points. If you are comparing dimensions, the Antares is 274x142mm, which makes it one millimeter shorter than the Antares, while being two millimeters wider. It will give your bum the sort of area that is essential to support while still offering enough room to adjust your position fore and aft, depending on what sort of terrain you are tackling.
