Cracked in half after 20 months of use
Saddle cracked. Around 5000 miles. Other than that I liked the saddle a lot. Amazon site says 1 year warranty. Fizik said 2 year warranty but declined to replace the saddle since it was fulfilled by Amazon not purchased directly through their website. They denied there is an issue with this model but since others have posted similar pictures that doesn’t seem accurate..Addendum: After I posted this review and further complained to Fizik they did indeed send a replacement saddle at no cost.

I would highly recommend this saddle if you are for sure a chameleon by Fizik flexibility standards. I am a Snake for sure by Fizik, but I weigh 150 lbs and only ride 15-20+ mph. According to the speed and weight graph I was better suited for the wider 142 sitting platform of the Antares. However, my significant flexibility hindered my performance by using this particular saddle. I did return it and vouched to get the Arione Open Large which better suited my flexibility and performance level. Keep in mind that the Antares is flawless in design and the intricate attention to detail makes it ideal for a professional level saddle. If you are indeed a Chameleon I would highly recommend this saddle. Be sure to review Fizik guidelines before choosing one of their recommended saddles based on your body's needs. My Arione Open Large saddle fits like a glove and I'm supported properly throughout the riding process. Once your saddle is correctly mounted hand pressure is relieved, foot numbness is decreased, perennial pain subside, and knee pain seem to just go away. I'm sure all cyclist or people that participate in cycling are familiar with these setbacks. I have been through so many saddles from various makers, but Fizik is the only one imo that has made a saddle based on a what your body does. Body Geometry Saddles are awesome, but does not focus on speed, weight, and flexibility. The initial Body Geometry relief is great, but after hours in the saddle other body areas become fatigued because body weight nor flexibility is not the primary focus. I could go on forever, but just wanted to address some of my opinions on Fizik flexibility fitting system and Fizik Saddles.

Having rode on racing saddles most of my biking life, this saddle is like a lay-z boy to me. Cut out prevents numbness without being noticed. Padding is good without being too soft and causing pain on longer rides. Seat is flexible and works to absorb vibration and smoot out the road—all that and its still lightweight and pretty affordable.

Oh and Fizik makes a clever light that clips onto the saddle. Just remove the logo, that clips on, and clip in the light. Very clean.

My first impression and expectations were very high for this saddle. It appears to be well made, light weight and a good looking saddle.

I really want this saddle to work, however after a closer look. The carbon rails didn’t have the quality look as I would expect from a Fizik saddle and the saddle material has very slick feel.

After brief ride I realized this saddle wasn’t for me, and I returned it

Please note all saddles are very personal and what might be right or wrong for me may not be for you!

I have a Specialized Roubaix which came with a stock Toupe. It was a really painful for me to ride anything over 20 miles. I did my research and figure out that a Fizik Antares may be a good fit for me (I am a chameleon on Fizik's chart).
When I received the saddle I was disappointed at first - it looked almost exact as the Toupe. But after I installed it and rode for 30 miles I changed my opinion! No pain at all! And no complaints since then! I really feel how well my saddle bones sit on my Antares!
Very well made and a perfect fit! Thank you Fizik!

I had high hopes for this saddle, gave it a couple hundred miles and lots of adjustments but I ultimately gave up on it. For me, the issue is that there is almost no flex in this saddle. The middle channel ends up being more of a pointy ridge that just jams up into soft tissue and wreaks havoc. This design flaw caused uncomfortable and often painful rides. Cannot recommend.

Going back to Fizik saddle

This is a fantastic road bike saddle. It has a channel which alleviates any pressure on the perineal area without resorting to a hole in the saddle that lets water through. The only slight negative is that the surface of the saddle is quite smooth and doesn't provide the ultimate grip of other saddles in the Fizik range when putting down power. That said it's not a huge issue, just that some other Antares saddles have a higher friction surface. If you ride long and hard on a road bike then you should definitely try this saddle: it's a game changer.

If you are used to the previous generation then this one will not be the same. Much harder the before. Not for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars A comfortable saddle for long distance

Saddles are very personal; what works for one person may not work for another. My experience with this saddle has been very positive. It replaced an older Fzik saddle that had 12+ years of use.

My ride profile is road bikes, rides of 6+ hours and a rider weight of 200#.

Fizik makes a tool/app that helps you select the correct saddle. I used the tool, it recommended this saddle and I could not be happier.

I rode one of my friends bike with this saddle and ordered this one that evening. This is the most comfortable saddle i have used on my road bike. Its also light weight but that's a bonus for me more than a requirment.

Very Light, seems durable and feel comfortable.

Just too bad that my cervelo S2 has a speacial seat clamp that is not compatible with 7x9mm carbon rail. I filed the stupid clamp to fit the saddle.
