I have owned Fizik for yrs as well as other brands here and there, but this seat is by far the most comfortable seat I have ever owned. It�s truly a hidden jem. Between my wife and I, we have 5 of them.
The seat is deceivingly comfortable and the 3D printed design is amazing and COMPLETELY eliminating hot spots. For reference my normal rides are between 40-70 miles . I ride the saddle on both a gravel bike and XC Marathon bike.
The saddle is well worth the money.
Most comfortable saddle I've ever ridden! No pressure whatsoever, especially on the nose. Been riding Fizik Aliante ever since they were were introduced in the 90's. Selle Italia Flite and Turbo prior to that. The only issue with this saddle is that there is so much grip I quickly get saddle sores when riding. A generous amount of chamois cream does help.
This is a great short nose saddle for all sorts of riding. A much better replacement for my specialized power saddle.
I was looking for something for my gravel bike. My current favorite, the discontinued Bontrager Montrose Pro, is great on the road, but on a stiffer frame and a rougher surface, was not ideal. My 148 Montrose fell between the two sizes for the Vento Argo and I opted for the wider size. I wish I could have tried both sizes because it could be a touch too wide. However I have to say - its very comfortable so far. The only reason I would not give it 5 stars is that I just haven't lived with it very long. At first it might seem too soft but ride it. I've found that I'm
comfortable and pressure point free on rides up to 4 hours so far. Very nice.
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!
This is the 3rd Vento Argo R3 Adaptive Saddle that I have purchased. Originally installed this saddle on my Trek Checkpoint before riding the Katy Trail across Mo. I liked it so much, I also purchased 2 more for my Trek Domane SL6 road bike and my Trek Procaliber hardtail
I have the S-Works Power Mirror Saddle on my other bike and this saddle is every bit as good and is cheaper. I have 500 miles on it so far which is enough miles to get a good feel for how it feels after a long ride. I would recommend this saddle to anyone looking for a good road saddle.
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.
If I sit on this saddle exactly right it is very comfortable,move a little not so much.
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.
