Saddle Fizik Vento Argo R5 (Black)

Saddle Fizik Vento Argo R5 (Black)

VENTO ARGO R5 is a high-performance racing saddle with a short nose design that improves stability and allows for a more aggressive and aerodynamic riding position.

Where the traditional saddle shape encourages riders to frequently change their position for better leverage, Argo puts the rider in a more planted position, ensuring greater stability and better weight distribution. The short length of the Vento Argo allows the rider to sit further forward without placing excessive pressure on sensitive tissues.

It also features an ergonomic cutout developed using detailed pressure analysis and input from medical experts. Argo is our most versatile saddle shape and each version suits different riding styles. As a racing option, the Vento Argo was designed to offer a ride feel suited to racing bikes with aggressive geometry.

The padding is made with Fizik's patented Type 1 foam formulation, which has a lower profile and is responsive and springy for instant response and optimal power transfer.

The targeted shape of its design helps you achieve a better riding posture: the lowered nose supports the pubic ramus when the pelvis rotates forward to add power or achieve more aerodynamics.

Argo is a product of the Fizik Concepts program, an interdisciplinary collaboration of leading industry experts and academics carrying out research and analysis on bicycle technology, design, physiology and fit in search of ways to improve cycling performance.
