Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- The Fizik Tempo Argo R3 saddle is suitable for less flexible cyclists with a bit more hip movement.
- This saddle is perfect for the long-distance cyclist. It offers good pelvic support.

- The large recess takes pressure off sensitive areas.
- The rails of the Argo R3 are hollowed out for an optimal strength-to-weight ratio.
- This saddle is less suitable for the flexible cyclist.

Description
Description
The large recess removes pressure around the sensitive parts. The hollow Kium rails reduce weight and filter vibrations extra well. This further improves comfort, so that after a few hours of cycling you are only tired in your legs, while the rest of your body still feels relatively fresh!
Saddle shape
This saddle has a round back which makes it very suitable for people who move a lot and rock in the hips while cycling. Because this is a round saddle, it gives those people a lot of freedom of movement compared to a flat back saddle.
Agility
This is an S-shape saddle, which means that the saddle is raised at the back and lowered in the middle. This S-shape therefore makes it possible to let people who are not flexible in the spine sit in a sporty cycling position. This has to do with the pelvic tilt, someone who is not flexible in the spine has more difficulty tilting the pelvis.
Cutout
This saddle has a recess and provides pressure relief for people who quickly experience pressure on the seat.

Solid saddle
Very solid saddle, big fan!
Pros & Cons
3 / 5
Am not dissatisfied but unsure about the geometry.
The idea seems to be that saddle should only lean forward by degrees?! Now go to try to get the nose horizontal.

comfortable saddle for longer journeys
I just couldn't get used to the Fizik Aliante saddle that came standard on my bike. After a long search, I found this saddle at Mantel with a 30-day trial period. The first few rides the saddle felt a bit uncomfortable because of the short nose, but after a week this feeling disappeared. Even after several hours, the saddle still feels comfortable.
