When we're sprinting for the town line sign, the last thing we want distracting us is saddle discomfort. Fizik's Argo Vento R5's short nose design is ideal for keeping an aggressive forward position on the bike to earn bragging rights at the county line or the crit finish. The R5 model delivers the same stable shaping as the higher price-point models, with a carbon-reinforced shell and alloy rails, rather than a full carbon construction. The Argo is Fizik's most versatile saddle shape, meant to fit a wide range of riders, and the Vento R5 model is ideal for racing and aggressive riding with a carbon-reinforced shell and ergonomic design. A proper fit and the stable shaping of the Argo Vento translates to greater pedaling efficiency, rather than shifting fore and aft to find a comfortable position. The ergonomic center cutout and dropped nose design prevents numbness and pressure on soft tissue so we can focus on our pedal stroke, while the reactive foam padding optimizes power transfer and rider comfort. Fizik's R5 shell with ride-compliant carbon-reinforced nylon and alloy eliminates road vibration without losing efficiency.
