Fizik Antares Versus EVO 00 Adaptive Review

[hannawald]

It's fascinating I haven't found a single negative review despite saddles being so individual. And I can assume that for the price these are bought by desperate ideal saddle seekers having problems with other solutions..
So it seems saddle sores are caused more by improper padding than saddle shape? Or what is so magical that suddenly one size fits all?:)

Am I nuts if I want to try this out... Now they have a black 00 model.. Was just talking to the shop guy last week how I wasn't going to get one.

Even if I have fairly comfortable saddles (Sp01s) on the road. They however seem not to be so good on the trainer.. Which I'm confined to while recovering still.

Does anyone know of any plans to do this saddle in arione?

I was kind of surprised they didn't do that first, as i was under the impression the Arione was more popular?

Note that the R1 and R3 models of this saddle are considerably less expensive and black... just a few grams heavier.

I, too, find it odd that it's hard to find a bad review of this saddle which baffles me.

They also have more padding than the 00, hence the additional width and height. Might be a better option for many riders.

It seems that 00 model is comfortable for everybody..confused how general acceptance it has, none of the saddle I know has such..so why more padding:)

[sychen]

Yup.. Aware of r1 and r3. Not doing alloy rails.. And R1 and 00 price close enough not to bother me and 00 is oh so pretty with mobius rails.. So I ordered one. Xmas present for myself!

I like the R1 adaptive model quite a bit...but the 00 version is so nice with Moebius rails. I think Fizik does this on purpose...as I move up the ladde from the R1, 00 and eventually if they come out with it...the Arione 00 Adaptive version. LOL.

Currently, the R1 Adaptive is on my Factor LS and has been great. Now, I need an adaptive Arione 00 for my Factor O2 VAM!

Interesting this saddle seems to be so universally comfortable as my experience with fizik 00’s has been terrible despite how nice they look aesthetically. This make me hopeful when I can afford it.

I’ve had great pleasure lately with the selle San Marco short fit saddle which weighs about the same. Like it as much as the pro stealth these two are my tops lately.

Great minds think alike? My LS should be delivered anyday now and I've also ordered an R1 Adaptive for it... although it's backordered until later in December.

haha. Yeah, the more expensive 00 version looks like its available.

Been riding the LS with the R1 Adaptive for awhile now...80% pavement. Either gravel or not...it works well on all surfaces...but perfect for me on pavement. I originally had the eeSilk seatpost to smooth out the bumps...but made creaking noises when it got dirty. Wasn't a great solution for me...whereas the Adaptive saddles are great. You'll love it.

I'm on the Arione 00 on the VAM and most of my other bikes...but having the Adaptive on my Factor LS, its difficult to ride the Arione 00 on the other bikes now. I'm getting too soft!
