Fizik Saddles Editorial Review

The Fizik Antares R1 saddle is a beautifully made, lightweight, and comfortable option for cyclists. It is a great alternative for those who have been using the Brooks Cambium C13 saddle but find it wears out too fast. While there was some discomfort during the adjustment period, the saddle proved to be comfortable on rides up to 70 miles. Following Fizik's fitting guide was recommended for optimal comfort. The saddle is made with top-quality materials and has a noticeable flex. The foam used has the perfect density. The switch from a heavy Brooks saddle resulted in a weight reduction of 5oz (150 grams), making it a substantial upgrade. Customers found the saddle to be a masterpiece and expect it to last for many miles. However, it is important to note that the Fizik Antares R1 saddle is on the expensive side. Some customers received the saddle in great condition despite purchasing a used version listed as having major scratches and deformities. Others experienced durability issues, such as cracks in the seat after approximately 400 miles of use. There were also reports of quality control issues, with loose carbon rails causing slight wiggling. Overall, the Fizik Antares R1 saddle is praised for its lightweight, comfort, and high-quality Construction. However, potential buyers should be prepared for the possibility of durability issues and the higher price point.
