A ride-compliant, gravel-specific saddle with a short-nose design and generous ischial support for improved stability.
GREATER STABILITY
Where a traditional saddle shape encourages riders to shift their position frequently for better leverage, the Argo puts riders in a more planted position, making for greater stability and better weight distribution. The Terra Argo’s short length allows riders to sit further forward without placing undue pressure on sensitive areas. It also features an ergonomic cut-out that was developed using detailed pressure analysis and input from medical experts.
GRAVEL SPECIFIC SADDLE
The Argo is our most versatile saddle shape, with each version suited to different riding styles. As the gravel-specific option, the Terra Argo has been engineered with a compliant shell to offer a certain degree of flexibility. This controlled elasticity absorbs road chatter and vibrations, delivering the comfort needed for long distance riding over unpaved roads.
STABILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS
To better support the Terra Argo’s flexible shell, we used our closed-loop Mobius rail system for increased structural stability and responsiveness. The Terra Argo features a waved profile to provide the lower-back support necessary for long rides and to help riders hold their position while climbing on loose terrain. The same goes for the dropped-nose design which allows riders to rotate their pelvis while pushing forward on the nose for better traction and power transfer.
LONG DISTANCE COMFORT
The padding is made from fizik’s proprietary Type-2 foam formulation, slightly thicker around the ischial sit bones area to support a more upright riding posture. The cushioning is slightly softer and more progressive than the type we use on our racing saddles, providing more long-distance comfort.

I am still on the fence about this saddle. I wanted to swap a stock Specialized Bridge Comp on my Sirrus 4.0 X, which I found not super comfy on > 30km rides, for something better. At first, my experience was even worse, but after fiddling with saddle adjustment I seemed to have found an optimal position, which for me was at 0 degrees slope. Though it is better now, I am still not sure it was an overall improvement from my stock saddle. After several > 40km rides, I can say that it’s decent, but I could use more cushioning. Would certainly recommend riding this one only in padded shorts/tights.

The Fizik Terra Argo X5 (150mm) is great quality and very good looking. Upgraded on MTB from Selle Italia Flite... great improvement in ride experience! Allthough the sadle is a bit hard, it support the right places and fits perfectly. Miss the possibility for attachment under the sadle though... But great saddle!

La sella è molto bella e la forma è comoda. Troppo dura però, anche con fondello. Dopo 30 minuti i dolori rendono il viaggio scomodo

I replaced a Specialized Romin Evo Expert saddle which was great on my road only bike with Terra Argo X5 on my Moots Routt Gravel bike and what an improvement. The Argo X5 is a lot more forgiving when riding on dirt roads and through trails with rocks and tree roots. I am able to pedal with more power seated comfortably on steep climbs and I no longer get sore tail bones after riding for 35 miles. I highly recommend this saddle for mixed road and gravel riding, Fizik did an amazing job with this saddle!

Just got this saddle prior to a long bike tour and was super satisfied by the comfort. I used to have numbness problems after riding for a longer time with my old sattle and havent any of these problems with the Terra Argo X5 since then. Great product !

Just the fact that the hole will allow water to drain when it comes from above, but not splash your private parts when it comes from below, is excellent. I will say that at the time of writing, I have only used this indoors on my KICKR Bike, but it has performed very well and is very comfortable. The cutout allows me to ride for extended periods in the drops, and the support and width towards the back gives great support when more upright. On paper, this saddle does everything right, and is very well thought out.

I ride a gravel bike, and was using a WTB saddle. That was a good saddle, but I decided to see whether the Terra was better. I haven't gone on a very long ride, but in the 20-mile range, it is really very comfortable. I wish the saddle surface had just a bit of grip, but it is really very well made and very supportive.

Aun no he podido probarlo bien del todo haciendo pequeños ajustes de altura,avance,nivel pero las sensaciones fueron muy positivas.
Solo una pega,me temo que el material de la cubierta que es muy agradable al tacto sufrira de cambio de apariencia (brillos) debido al roce del uso.
