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 & 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 & input from medical experts. Argo is our most versatile saddle shape & 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 & is reactive & springy for instantaneous response & 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 & academics carrying out research & analysis on technology, design, physiology & bike-fitting in search of ways to improve cycling performance.
