Product Story

Product details

Endurance Cycling Design

The FIZIK Tempo Argo R3 Saddle is engineered specifically for endurance road cycling. Its short-nosed shape and generous ischial support promote greater stability and better weight distribution, allowing riders to maintain a more planted position during long rides.

Comfort and Ergonomics

Featuring a carbon-reinforced nylon shell with wingflex and Kium hollow rails, this saddle balances lightness and durability. The padding uses Fizik's proprietary Type 2 PU foam, which is thicker and softer around the sit bones to support a more upright riding posture and provide progressive cushioning with a lower compression modulus for enhanced long-distance comfort.

An ergonomic cutout, developed through detailed pressure analysis and medical expert input, reduces pressure on sensitive tissues, improving comfort over extended periods.
