Fizik Terra Argo X3 Bicycle Saddle

A versatile, gravel-specific short-nose saddle with a combination of a trail-compatible carbon-reinforced nylon shell and Kium hollow rails. A general purpose, short nose gravel specific saddle with extended seat support for improved stability. Peculiarities: Greater stability: - While a traditional saddle shape encourages riders to frequently shift positions for better leverage, the Argo places riders in a more planted position, providing greater stability and better weight distribution.. The Terra Argo's short length allows riders to sit further forward without putting undue pressure on sensitive areas.. It also features an ergonomic cutout that was designed using detailed pressure analysis and advice from medical experts. Saddle specifically designed for gravel: - The Argo is our most versatile saddle shape, with each version suited to a variety of riding styles.. As an option for gravel, Terra Argo has been designed with a pliable shell to provide a degree of flexibility. This controlled elasticity absorbs road noise and vibration, providing the comfort needed for long distance riding on unpaved roads. Stability and responsiveness: - To better support the Terra Argo flexible shell, we used our closed-loop Mobius rail system to improve structural stability and responsiveness.. The Terra Argo features a wave profile to provide the lumbar support needed for long rides and help riders maintain their position when climbing loose terrain.. The same goes for the dropped-nose design, which allows riders to rotate their pelvis while pushing the nose forward for better traction and power transfer. Comfort over long distances: - The padding is made from Fizik's proprietary Type-2 foam formula, slightly thicker in the sit bone area to support a more upright riding posture. The cushioning is slightly softer and more progressive than that used in our racing saddles, providing greater comfort over longer distances. - Argo: A versatile short nose saddle that provides stability and relieves pressure from sensitive areas. - X3: Combination of carbon reinforced nylon shell and carbon guide. - Mobius Rail: Closed-loop design for added strength and weight distribution. - Wingflex: The side edges of the shell bend and adapt to the movement of the cyclist's inner leg. - Foam type 2: Progressive damping with a lower compression modulus. - Terra: An off-road series designed to push you beyond your limits. - Intended use: gravel. - concepts: It is a product of the fizik Concepts program, a multidisciplinary collaboration of leading industry experts and scientists conducting research and analysis in the fields of technology, design, physiology and bicycle fitting in search of ways to improve cycling.. performance.
