VENTO ARGO R5 is a performance racing saddle with a short-nose design that improves stability and allows for a more aggressive, aero riding position.
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. Vento 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 racing option, Vento Argo has been engineered to deliver a riding feel that suits race bikes with aggressive geometry.
The padding is made from fizik’s proprietary Type 1 foam formulation, which has a lower profile and is reactive and springy for instantaneous response and optimal power transfer.
The purposeful shape of its design helps you achieve a better riding posture: the dropped nose supports the pubic ramus when the pelvis rotates forward to add power or to get more aero.
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.
The saddle is very uncomfortable, cause the gel pad is at min. I m trying to get used to it. The cutout relieve the numbness I previously had. After all is very good looking with grate quality.

Took a few rides to break in however ended up being a great saddle for my backside. I ordered a second one for my training bike.

I think I would have loved the seat if the bend in the rails were in a different location. Due to the location of the bend, it would not allow me to move my seat forward enough to fit my proper bike measurements. This was very disappointing.

Hi there
After first riding last week I can tell you it does seem very comfortable with much less pressure than previous one - Fizik pave from 2002, yes I do not ride very much This one is wider too ideal when you are 61
To be recommended

That saddle needed a little while for me to get used to. For some reason, I'm still experiencing a bit of numbness when riding on the drops, but not as bad as some other saddles I previously tried.

Sella per ora comoda, però servirebbe che il materiale “si raffreddi” perché con il caldo non è il massimo

Buen sillín, más ligero que la mayoría de su sector, siendo el más bajo de la gama.
