The Fizik Argo Adaptive R1 saddle ingeniously combines Carbon® 3D printing technology with fi’zi:k’s long - standing saddle expertise. By integrating fi’zi:k’s in - depth saddle pressure mapping data with Carbon® design, it creates a perfectly engineered ‘zonal cushioning’. The special 3D printed lattice structure is precisely adjusted for different loading patterns across the entire saddle, offering a shape that suits various postures and sit bone positions.
Developed in collaboration with bike fitting expert Phil Burt, the Argo saddle features a short - nosed design that boosts stability and reduces pressure on soft tissues. This design not only enhances power output but also helps riders achieve a more aerodynamic position. Unlike traditional saddles that make riders shift positions often, the Argo Adaptive keeps riders firmly in place, providing better stability, comfort, and weight distribution.
Paired with Carbon®’s digital padding, the Argo Adaptive is the ideal choice for cyclists seeking long - lasting comfort on a saddle that offers both stability and balance. It comes with tailored zonal cushioning, reduces peak pressure for extended comfort, and the Argo shape ensures superior stability and weight distribution. The fi’zi:k Argo Adaptive R1 with carbon rails is available in 140mm (190g) and 150mm (196g).
Using the Fizik Argo Adaptive R1 saddle is straightforward. Just install it on your bike according to the standard saddle installation process. Make sure it is firmly attached and at a comfortable height and angle for you. When riding, you'll notice the enhanced stability right away, so try to relax and take advantage of the reduced pressure on your soft tissues.
As for maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it with a soft, damp cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the 3D printed lattice structure and the padding. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any potential damage to the materials. Also, check the carbon rails periodically for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice anything unusual, it's best to consult a professional bike mechanic.
