Fizik Argo Vento R5 Bicycle Saddle

A high performance racing saddle featuring a carbon fibre reinforced nylon shell and S-alloy rail. The Vento Argo R5 is a high performance racing saddle with a short nose that improves stability and allows for a more aggressive, aerodynamic riding position. While a traditional saddle shape encourages riders to frequently change position for better leverage, the Argo allows the rider to assume a more stable position, providing greater stability and better weight distribution.. The short length of the Vento Argo allows the rider to sit further forward without putting undue pressure on sensitive tissues. It also features an ergonomic cutout that was designed using detailed pressure analysis and advice from medical experts.. The Argo is our most versatile saddle shape, and each version suits different riding styles.. As a racing option, the Vento Argo has been designed to provide a riding experience that suits racing bikes with aggressive geometry. The pad is made from Fizik's proprietary Type 1 foam, which is lower profile, reactive and springy for instant response and optimal power transfer. Its purposeful design helps you achieve better riding posture.: The downturned nose supports the pubic ramus as the pelvis rotates forward to add power or become more aerodynamic. Argo is a product of the Fizik Concepts program, a multidisciplinary collaboration of leading industry experts and scientists conducting research and analysis in bicycle technology, design, physiology and fit in search of ways to improve cyclist performance.
