Fizik Vento Argo R3 Adaptive 150mm saddle - Black

Fizik Vento Argo R3 is an advanced 3D printed bike saddle with a versatile short nose design and a lightweight Kium rail system to prioritize comfort, responsiveness and stability across a variety of body types and driving positions. 3D printed Fizik Adaptive 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 stability and balance. The evolution of digital 3D printing has made it possible to develop a new saddle without the constraints or limitations imposed by traditional production methods and materials. The adaptive saddle padding is made using the revolutionary digital light synthesis technology. DLS is an additive manufacturing process that uses digital ultraviolet light projection, oxygen permeable optics and programmable liquid resins to produce parts with excellent mechanical properties, resolution and surface finish. Using carbon technology, biomechanics and engineers have an unprecedented possibility: to design and manufacture multiple functional zones within the saddle, tuning them separately for specific mechanical properties. Each of these key functional zones are designed for distinctive cushioning and mechanical response, blended together progressively and seamlessly in the same padding. The result? A 60% reduction in peak pressure through improved weight distribution for greater comfort across the entire surface of the saddle. The most versatile saddle shape, Argo is at home on a variety of bike and surface types. Whether it's rolling on smooth asphalt or cruising on technical terrain, Argo is designed to help cyclists find better posture, placing them in a more planted position for greater stability and better weight distribution. In addition, the shorter, lowered design provides superior support when adopting a powerful and aerodynamic pedaling position. To develop the ideal adaptive comfort zones, we studied the various riding positions and pressure points of professional and amateur cyclists alike, both in fizik workshops and on open roads, gravel tracks and trails. Throughout each development phase, new iterations have been carefully tested with great attention to understanding how pressure patterns change based on different bike geometries, riding positions and surface types. The saddle is very easy to clean. Even with the dirtiest road mud, gravel dust or track spray, all you need to do is just rinse it off with water. Whatever goes in, goes out. We subjected it to the most severe tests, simulating accelerated atmospheric agents, UV aging and wear resistance following strict protocols.
