Hello! As far as I know its a Fizik Antares. Jai could never find a Specialized saddle that worked for him.

Probably... and as far as I can tell it looks like the old Antares. tHNX

Yep! We tried everything to get him on Specialized saddles. If you notice, the new Power Evo has no distinct cutout. That was our way of trying to help Jai find some comfort. The lesson learned is that a cutout is really important for soft tissue health, but a cutout introduces an edge, which doesn't work for some riders.

wow...
Not a production one at least. Looks like a carbon shell shaped like a saddle. My ass hurts just looking at it

Maybe not everyone, but for those who get along with this saddle, they seem to love it!

Who says they’re comfortable? They look comfortable only if you’re an elite athlete under 30 and weighs 65kg.

it's highly anecdotal but everyone I spoke to that had this saddle, said it was the best

Lmao how many people do you know with a UCI World saddle that appears to be an unpadded slab of carbon?

There are similar (practically identical) saddles from a bunch of other brands you smoothbrain
