Argo For All Roads
The evolution of digital 3D printing has allowed Fizik to develop the Vento Argo R3 Adaptive Saddle, a new generation of 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.
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.
Features:
Adaptive Carbon Digital Light Synthesis 3D-printing technology
Seamlessly engineered zonal cushioning
Short-nosed saddle that encourages stability and relieves pressure on soft tissue
Ride-compliant, carbon-reinforced nylon shell and a hollow Kium rail system
Available in 140 or 150mm width options
Length: 265mm
Width: 140, 150mm
Height at 75 mm width: 45.5mm
Length from nose to 75mm width: 114mm

Lot of grip!
1 of 2 customers found this review helpful.
It is a very good product, but there is only one problem: the texture of the material has a lot of grip, this makes the bibs not move in the seat, causing friction between your skin and the bibs. After a few minutes, this friction causes discomfort!

Best saddle I�ve ridden

This is the best saddle I�ve ever ridden. My bottom has never gotten along with cutout saddles. The variable firmness that the 3D printing allows provides the pressure relief I need without having a cutout. It�s a little more expensive but worth it for me. I have not noticed any friction from the mesh-like surface.

This is a great addition to my inventory of saddles. I ride on the trainer several days a week and get butt tired after a few days. This makes all the difference in comfort plus the shorter version makes it a proper fit. I did notice the height is a little more than others in the category so a small adjustment was necessary. I would purchase another one for sure.

Really comfortable saddle

This saddle required some time to position correctly. It widens out faster than my old saddle. Once I got it dialed in, it is very comfortable.
