TEMPO ARGO R5 is a versatile endurance road saddle with a short-nosed design and generous ischial support that encourages stability.
Where a traditional saddle shape encourages riders to shift their position frequently for better leverage, Argo puts the rider in a more planted position, making for greater stability and better weight distribution.
Tempo Argo’s short length allows the rider to sit further forward without placing undue pressure on sensitive tissues.
It also features an ergonomic cutout that was 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 the edurance riding option, Tempo Argo has been engineered to deliver a riding feel that suits the balanced geometry of today’s all-purpose road machines.
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.
Argo is a product of the Fizik Concepts programme, a cross-disciplinary collaboration of leading industry experts and academics carrying out research and analysis on technology, design, physiology and bike-fitting in search of ways to improve cycling performance.

1st class serviced and delivered on time with excellent packaging. The saddle has met more than my expectations, biggest regret is that I didn’t purchase the saddle 8000 miles ago, highly recommended

The Tempo Argo R5 looks fantastic on my Madone. Unfortunately, it is too uncomfortable for me, especially for indoor trainer sessions.

Unfortunately I was unable to get a demo model. I measured my sit bones and after alot of research bought a tempo Argo R5. I have tried multiple times but the saddle is extremely uncomfortable which I was disappointed with. I believe the saddle might be slightly too narrow for me and I should have purchased the bigger size against what the website suggested. Unfortunately there is a small paint chip so unable to send it back. Any help would be great.

Quality is very good. I had to adjust to the saddle forcing all the weight onto my sitbones (which is what I want, but it's still an adjustment)

The saddle is ok for the trainer, which keeps the bike in a stable and unnatural position. I expect it to be 5 stars on the bike on the road, though, where I move around a lot more.

Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because I haven't ridden with it yet. Quality seems very good.

This product alleviated numbness and perineal discomfort. It's well-designed and comfortable. The website provided useful information about sizing, which worked well for me.
Highly recommend this for those looking for a durable and comfortable saddle.

I used the fizik online saddle finder and this was one of the suggested saddles (but in the R1 and R3 which are lighter and more expensive). I'm extremely impressed with the saddle finder! Having support on the sit-bones and pressure relief elsewhere makes the ride so much better!

Beautiful construction and very comfortable IMHO. I like Specialized seats and this is quite similar. I also think the nose is a better design than the Specialized since it doesn’t catch as easily if you are wearing MTB shorts to ride, say, on gravel or in town.

Unfortunately, I didn't find any help on how to set up this saddle. I’m trying to figure out where to sit, what angle to adjust, and so on. The cutout is perfect, but the padding is very hard for me, although I try to use it with pretty good cycling pants (Le Col, Pearl Izumi). I hope I can set it up properly. Regards, Peter!

The Tempo Argo R5 saddle delivered what I was looking for. It's comfortable and after a trying and adjusting a few times, it provided a great support. My goal was to ride longer and I don't care about performance, and I was finally able to ride for 3 hours with no soreness on the area. So yeah! Mission accomplished!
I'm fully satisfied with the saddle, but I feel like it could be slightly better. I think that could be easily solved by getting myself a good bike fit, but sometimes I wish the saddle was a bit softer.

Una maravilla, especialmente para salidas de larga duración. Yo lo compré para hacer rodillo, ya que el sillín de fábrica era un potro de tortura al estar la bici estática en el rodillo. Con el Tempo Argo, hecho las horas en Zwift como si nada.

I am a very experienced rider riding for over 40 yhears and mainly use Brooks B 17 saddles but wanted something comfortable but lighter than a brooks. This saddle is pretty comfortable and ligght considering the amount of padding. I also own a aliente and this saddle is more confirtable and meets all the stated advantages offered by the marketing material.

Compared to my previous saddle this is significantly more comfortable and I have little to no discomfort when riding. I think I need to adjust the saddle position to get the best level of comfort but as it stands this saddle is the best investment I made in my bike.

Great saddle. I have not much experience with other saddles, but I cannot complain the quality or comfort of this saddle. Only thing I am worried about is the sharp edges that might wear your bibs in the long run. This have not occurred for me for now so 5/5.
