Fizik Antares 00 Saddle

• The flat, wide shape of the Antares and the low weight of the carbon-hulled top model has made it popular, so fi\'zi:k technical director Stefano Sigato admitted it was a challenge to improve it.

According to Sigato, fi'zi:k’s riders were looking for two things: a stiffer base, because powerful riders always want a firmer support for their efforts, and fi'zi:k’s Wing-Flex side panels.

Wing-Flex was specifically requested by Liquigas rider Ivan Basso, Sigato says, who finds it helps with his sciatica.

While fi'zi:k was figuring out how to add these features, they threw themselves the challenge of shedding some grams too.

The combination of stiffness and weight loss was achieved by making a foam core base for the new Antares 00. Wing-Flex was implemented using a rubberized composite membrane for the edges of the base.

The result weighs a claimed 135g, compared to the 145g of the previous carbon-railed Antares
