Our versatile, short-nosed cycling saddle featuring the revolutionary zonal comfort of 3D-printed cushioning and the high strength-to-weight performance of our Kium hollow rail system.
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
R3: a combination of a ride-compliant, carbon-reinforced nylon shell and a Kium hollow rail with high strength-to-weight ratio

Super bequem und stabil. Im Vergleich zum Antares versus Evo R1 für mich die bessere Alternative für Endurance Biking.

Arrived in a reasonable amount of time and well packaged. Replaced an OEM saddle that wasn't comfortable for me at all -- the Vento Argo R3 is a much better fit. While not the lightest saddle around, the interesting new 3d printed with zonal cushioning is comfortable and supportive where it needs to be.

I had the pleasure to deal with Moira as I needed help in my shipment to arrive on time. Moira was excellent and was so kind in dealing with me. It is at times of trouble we need reps like Moira. Thanks and because of this service I am coming back and buying more at Fizik. I got my saddle and rode today all possible because of Moira

I’ve been looking for a saddle to suit my style of casual road cycling for some time.
I think I have found the perfect answer.
The Argo adaptive is supportive and comfortable- what more do you want.
Now for the true test when I start to put some Kilometres in on the uneven surface and roads of the Ribble Valley.

Selle confortable et légère. Nécessite quelques séances d'adaptation pour affiner le réglage car on ne glisse pas sur la selle en roulant et il faut trouver sa position optimale.

Got it and rode a 25 mile ride. Was a little too high and it caused a sore under my sit bones. I lowered it a half inch and rode 75 miles and had no issue, even with the saddle sore still there. Fingers crossed this will help with the sores I was getting with my leather saddle before.

Der Sattel ist härter als es scheint.
Via Daumendruck fühlt er sich weich an, beim Fahren ist er eher härter und im Dammbereich nicht so tief ausgespart wie andere Sättel.
