Fizik Vento Argo R1 road bike saddle
Finally added to the Argo family, the Fizik Adaptive 3D-printed padding is the perfect match for anyone looking for exceptional, long-lasting comfort on a versatile saddle that offers both stability and balance.
To develop the ideal Adaptive comfort zones, Fizik studied different cycling positions and pressure points of professional cyclists and amateur cyclists, both in the Fizik labs and on open roads, gravel roads and trails. During each development phase, new iterations were carefully tested with a strong focus on understanding how pressure patterns change depending on different bike geometries, riding positions and surfaces.
Argo is Fizik's most versatile saddle shape. The targeted shape of the design helps riders achieve a better sitting position: the dropped nose supports the pubic bones when the pelvis rotates forward to apply power or to ride more aero. Whereas a traditional saddle shape encourages the rider to change position often for better leverage, Argo places the rider in a more fixed position for more stability and better weight distribution.
Fizik has struck a balance between weight, durability and support. The Adaptive 3D-printed padding is combined with a carbon-reinforced nylon shell and Kium hollow rail with a high strength-to-weight ratio.
