Fizik Vento Argo R5 Saddle

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

Where the traditional saddle shape encourages riders to frequently change position for better leverage, Argo puts the rider in a more planted position, ensuring greater stability and better weight distribution. The reduced length of Vento Argo allows the rider to sit further forward without putting 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 fits different riding styles. As a racing option, Vento Argo is designed to offer a riding feel suited to race 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 elastic for instant feedback 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 gain more aerodynamics.

Argo is a product of the Fizik Concepts program, an interdisciplinary collaboration of leading industry experts and academics conducting research and analysis on technology, design, physiology, and bike fit to find ways to improve cycling performance.
