An advanced 3D-printed bike saddle with a versatile short-nosed design and lightweight carbon rail system to prioritize comfort, responsiveness and stability across a variety of body types and riding positions.
Fizik Adaptive 3D-printed padding is finally expanding to the Argo family, creating the perfect match for those who want exceptional, long-lasting comfort on a versatile platform that provides both stability and balance.
3D-printed padding
The evolution of digital 3D printing has allowed us to develop a new saddle without the constraints or limitations imposed by traditional production methods and materials. The Adaptive saddle padding is crafted by Carbon using their revolutionary Digital Light Synthesis technology. DLS is an additive manufacturing process which uses digital ultraviolet light projection, oxygen permeable optics and programmable liquid resins to produce parts with excellent mechanical properties, resolution, and surface finish.
Tailored zonal cushioning
Using Carbon technology, biomechanics and engineers have an unprecedented possibility: to design and manufacture multiple functional zones within the saddle, tuning each of them separately for specific mechanical properties. Each of these key functional zones is engineered for a distinctive cushioning and mechanical response, joined together progressively and seamlessly in the same padding. The result? A 60% reduction in peak pressure through improved weight distribution for increased comfort across the entire saddle surface.
Argo for all roads
Our most versatile saddle shape, Argo is at home on a variety of bike and surface types. Whether rolling on smooth tarmac or navigating technical terrain, Argo is engineered to help riders find a better posture, putting them in a more planted position for greater stability and improved weight distribution. Additionally, the shorter, drop-nose design provides superior support when adopting a powerful, aerodynamic pedaling position.
Design, test, ride
To develop the ideal Adaptive comfort zones, we studied the various riding positions and pressure points of professional cyclists and amateur riders alike, both in the fizik labs and out on open roads, gravel tracks and trails. During each development phase, new iterations were carefully tested with great focus put on understanding how pressure patterns change according to different bike geometries, riding positions, and surface types.
Long-lasting performance
The saddle is very easy to clean. Even with the filthiest road muck, gravel dust, or trail spray, all you need to do is simply hose it off with water. Whatever gets in, comes out. We’ve put it through the most severe tests, simulating accelerated weathering, UV aging and wear resistance by following strict protocols.
Argo: versatile short-nosed saddle that encourages stability and relieves pressure on soft tissue
R1: A combination of a ride-compliant, carbon-reinforced nylon shell and a highly stiff carbon rail

After putting about 150 miles on this saddle, I've already recommended it to many of my cycling friends. It's fantastically comfortable and has a great shape that's sort of a middle ground between the "short nose" fad and a traditional road saddle. Really helps smooth out a bit of the chatter, especially on gravel, and it pretty much disappears under you as the miles roll by.

I purchased the 150mm width saddle. The seat is comfortable but a little too wide for me between the legs and I going to exchange for an Antares which looks narrower in that area.

only rode it one time so far due to winter weather but was comfortable on a 20 mile ride. I'm riding with 2 hip replacements so hope it stays that way. Replaced a Cobb seat that was pretty good.

I waited until I had a few long (4 hr) rides in before writing this. Bottom line: absolutely fantastic saddle. I’ve used various leather saddles, and brands like Specialized, Selle San Marco, and various others. I’ve also had a range of Fizik saddles, Antares R1 Open, Argo Tempo R1, R3, R5 (yes all of them), and none of them come close to the comfort of the Argo Adaptive. I would get sore spots in all the above saddles, esp with the long zone 2 rides. But that literally completely gone.
