Two-dimensional (2D) quantum materials with high Fermi velocities are key candidates for ballistic transport and high-speed electronics. However, few 2D systems have the potential to demonstrate Fermi velocities exceeding that of graphene, remaining at the level of prediction. Here, we report the successful synthesis of a triangular monolayer of antimony (Sb) on the wide-gap semiconductor SiC. Using combined angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) in combination with density functional theory (DFT), we reveal orbital filtering that isolates broad-bandwidth, massless px and py states, yielding a compensated Fermi surface with an ultrahigh Fermi velocity surpassing that of pristine graphene. Linear dichroism in ARPES measurements confirm the orbital polarization of these high-velocity bands. This makes the triangular antimonene a compelling platform for next-generation quantum and high-speed electronic technologies.
