VENTO ARGO R3 is a performance racing saddle with a short-nose design that improves stability and allows for a more aggressive, aero riding position. Where a traditional saddle shape encourages riders to shift their position frequently for better leverage, Argo puts the rider in a more planted position, making for greater stability and better weight distribution. Vento Argo's short length allows the rider to sit further forward without placing undue pressure on sensitive tissues. It also features an ergonomic cutout that was developed using detailed pressure analysis and input from medical experts. Argo is our most versatile saddle shape and each version suits different riding styles. As the racing option, Vento Argo has been engineered to deliver a riding feel that suits race bikes with aggressive geometry. The padding is made from fizik's proprietary Type 1 foam formulation, which has a lower profile and is reactive and springy for instantaneous response and optimal power transfer. The purposeful shape of its design helps you achieve a better riding posture: the dropped nose supports the pubic ramus when the pelvis rotates forward to add power or to get more aero. Argo is a product of the fizik Concepts program, a cross-disciplinary collaboration of leading industry experts and academics carrying out research and analysis on technology, design, physiology, and bike-fitting in search of ways to improve cycling performance. - Argo: a versatile short-nose saddle that encourages stability and relieves pressure on soft tissue area - R3: a combination of a ride-compliant carbon-reinforced nylon shell and a Kium hollow rail with a high strength-to-weight ratio - Type 1 foam: low-profile, reactive and springy for efficient power transfer SPECIFICATIONS: VENTO ARGO R3 140 - Length: 265mm - Width: 140mm - Weight: 213g - Height at 75mm width: 45mm - Length from nose to 75mm width: 114mm - Rail: 7 x 7mm SPECIFICATIONS: VENTO ARGO R3 150 - Length: 265mm - Width: 150mm - Weight: 220g - Height at 75mm width: 45mm - Length from nose to 75mm width: 114mm - Rail: 7 x 7mm
