Performance Chosen By Pros

Antares is designed for riders seeking a performance saddle that doesn't sacrifice comfort. Antares has been race-proven by athletes around the world, from those competing on roads to cyclocross and cross-country riders.

Antares is a low profile saddle with a transition from nose to wing that helps deliver efficient pedaling in every riding positions. No matter if you're attacking a climb or holding the tempo on flat terrain, this saddle is designed to support you.
