Fizik Vento Argo R1 Light Saddle Description:

The Fizik Vento Argo R1 Light Saddle is a modern, very lightweight saddle that is well designed for a variety of riding styles and situations. This saddle features a short and broad dropped nose design that will encourage a rider to rotate their pelvis forward and flatten their back due to their being less pressure on soft tissues, which will make it easier for a rider to get into a powerful and aerodynamic riding position and reduce the strain on their back, neck, and upper shoulders. Advanced “coverless” injected EVA padding provides outstanding support for long days on the bike, and carved in the middle of that shape and padding is a generously sized ergonomic cutout that prevents cutting off of blood flow, numbness, and discomfort. Supporting everything from below is a lightweight and strong carbon reinforced nylon shell and ovalized carbon fiber rails which ensure weight is kept to a minimum without any durability or performance compromises, ensuring this saddle will provide a rider the comfort and performance they need to take on any ride.

Note: 7 x 9mm carbon rails require a seatpost with a compatible saddle clamp or an adapter kit.

Features:

• High performance short nosed saddle designed to make it easier for the rider to rotate the pelvic structure forward and flatten out their back which can reduce strain on the back and upper shoulders while maintaining an aerodynamic and powerful position
• Shorter length and broad, dropped nose allows the rider to sit further forward over the pedals for outstanding power production (great for sprints and steep uphill sections) while keeping pressure off of sensitive tissues
• Large ergonomic cutout was developed using a detailed pressure analysis and input from medical experts, and it relieves pressure on soft tissues and blood vessels to fight off numbness and discomfort
• “Coverless” injected EVA padding is a reactive cushioning that delivers excellent comfort and support for longer days in the saddle while minimizing weight and maintaining an ergonomic shape with a low profile
• Carbon reinforced nylon shell blends a compliant ride with excellent stability and strength
• Ovalized carbon fiber rails reduce weight and have the stiffness and strength to hold up to the abuse of cyclocross and gravel riding/racing
