Fizik Tempo Argo R1

Fizik Tempo Argo R1 cycling saddle

The Fizik Tempo Argo R1 is a high-end, short-nose endurance road saddle designed to offer excellent support, stability, and lasting comfort on long rides. Its compact shape and generous support at the ischial tuberosities promote a more stable and balanced riding position.

Equipped with ultra-rigid carbon rails, it is aimed at cyclists looking for performance, support and long-distance comfort.

Short nose design for added stability

The Tempo Argo R1 adopts a short nose design, ideal for modern road bikes and endurance positions.

Unlike a traditional saddle which often encourages frequent changes of position, the Argo shape naturally stabilizes the cyclist and improves weight distribution.

• short-nose design
• more stable position
• better distribution of support
• excellent support over long distances

A versatile shape for endurance road riding

The Argo range is recognized as one of Fizik 's most versatile frame shapes. In this Tempo version, it has been specifically designed for endurance road bikes and more balanced geometries.

It is perfectly suited for long rides, all-road bikes, rough roads and cyclosportive events.

• ideal road endurance
• perfect for long outings
• compatible with modern road bikes
• excellent overall comfort

Advanced position without overpressure

The reduced length of the saddle allows you to sit slightly further forward without generating excessive pressure on sensitive areas.

The large, ergonomic central cutout, developed from pressure analyses and medical studies, helps reduce numbness and improves blood circulation.

• ergonomic central channel
• reduction of perineal pressures
• more advanced position
• long-distance comfort

Type 2 foam for progressive comfort

The padding uses Fizik Type 2 proprietary foam, specifically developed for endurance saddles.

Thicker around the ischial tuberosities and slightly more flexible than the foams used on racing saddles, it provides progressive and lasting comfort.

• PU foam Type 2
• reinforced ischial zone
• progressive damping
• optimal comfort over long distances

High-end carbon rails

The 7x9 mm carbon rails ensure excellent rigidity, low weight and excellent power transfer.
