Fizik Vento Argo R1 Adaptive saddle

Fizik's 3D printed Adaptive upholstery is now making its way into the Argo range

An advanced 3D printed bike saddle with a versatile, short-nosed design and lightweight carbon rails to ensure the comfort, responsiveness, and stability for a variety of body types and riding positions.

Comfort on any surface

3D printed upholstery

Fizik's 3D-printed Adaptive cushioning now makes its way to the Argo range for those who want exceptional, long-lasting comfort on a versatile platform that offers both stability and balance.

Custom zonal cushioning

The technological possibilities of digital 3D printing have enabled Fizik to develop a new type of saddle - without the limitations that traditional manufacturing processes and new materials entail. The Adaptive Saddle Padding is manufactured by Carbon using revolutionary Digital Light Synthesis technology. DLS is an additive manufacturing process that uses digital ultraviolet light projection, oxygen-permeable optics, and moldable liquid resins to produce parts with excellent mechanical properties, resolution, and surface finish.

Long-lasting performance

Caring for the saddle is very easy. Even with stubborn dirt, dust or mud from the trails, all you have to do is hose it down with a little water. Whatever goes in, comes out again. Fizik put it through the most rigorous testing, simulating accelerated weathering, UV aging and wear resistance to rigorous specifications.

Argo for every surface

Fizik's most versatile saddle shape, the Argo, suits a variety of bikes and surfaces. Whether on smooth tarmac or technical terrain, the Argo helps the rider adopt a better riding position for more stability and better weight distribution. Additionally, the shorter drop-nose design provides excellent support when transitioning into a performance-oriented, aerodynamic riding position.

Design, test, drive

To develop the ideal Adaptive Comfort Zones, Fizik studied the different riding positions and pressure points of professional cyclists and amateur riders alike, both in Fizik's labs and out on the streets, gravel paths and trails. At each stage of development, new variants were carefully tested, with a focus on understanding how compression behavior changes depending on bike geometry, seating position and surface type.
