The Antares 00 (00 meaning "the top" in Italian) is the top-of-the-line saddle available in this shape. The high-modulus carbon shell with Wing Flex™ and Mobius™ carbon braided rail (NEW for 2016) make this the lightest and most stiff Antares model available. Despite the saddle’s very low weight, special 00 foam compound ensures that comfort is not compromised. Antares 00 is for The Chameleon: Medium Spine. If you have an intermediate degree of spinal flexibility (approximately 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a chameleon. Your degree of spinal flexibility helps you so far, before you need to rotate your pelvis slightly to achieve fully the performance position. You will benefit from the increased width and slight curvature of the Antares shape.
Within Fizik’s Spine Concept system this saddle is categorised as a "Chameleon" type. This means its designed for those who have medium spine flexibility and who’s pelvises have a low amount of rotation when pedalling. Advanced Construction The shell is manufactured using a nylon that’s reinforced with carbon fibre. This keeps the weight low and allows just enough flex to allow your pelvis to obtain its natural movement range, maximising pedalling efficiency. Finishing off the Antares R3 Open is high-quality Comfort Core foam and a super-durable Microtex cover.
