Fizik Tempo Argo, Versatile Endurance Road Bike Saddle

I can't say enough good things about the Fizik Argo Tempo saddle. This bike seat has completely transformed my riding experience. I used to struggle with discomfort and pain on long rides, but with the Argo Tempo, all that is a thing of the past. I recently completed a 100-mile ride, and while I experienced the usual minimal numbness and pain, it was significantly less than with any other saddle I’ve tried.One of the key things to note is the importance of checking your saddle width. I made sure to get this measured at a local bike shop, and it made a world of difference. If you can’t get to a shop, there are plenty of tutorials online to guide you. Once you have the right width, the installation and configuration are a breeze. The saddle is easy to install, and adjusting it to the perfect angle and position didn’t take much time at all.For anyone who does long rides or endurance cycling, this saddle is a game-changer. The design is spot-on, providing just the right amount of support where it’s needed most. It’s well worth the money, offering incredible comfort and making those grueling long rides much more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their saddle and enhance their cycling experience!

I ride a road bike for fitness and endurance … rides of 20-25 miles 6 days / week. Trying to work up to a century ride. Although I ride mostly at a zone 2 pace, comfort during and after the ride is critical to me. After trying a handful of traditional 160-180mm road bike type saddles that were advertised as soft yet supportive, I found myself uncomfortable about 8-10 miles in on the ride and a bit sore for a couple hours after the ride. After much investi-googling I concluded that soft doesn’t necessarily equate to comfortable for road bike saddles. I’ve been using the Fizik Tempo saddle for a couple weeks and am very pleased with the level of comfort and support. No during or after sit bone (or tail bone) pain. Likewise no soft tissue perineal issues at all. Which brings me to another great design feature of this saddle vs more traditional road bike saddles, it’s a short-nose saddle. Very noticeable in a positive way in the nether areas while keeping you more planted in the saddle and allowing freer leg movement vs traditional road bike saddles. I’m 6’; 180 lbs. self measurement of my sit bones using a couple online video methods yielded approximately 120-125mm. The videos suggest adding 20-30mm when sizing your bike saddle. I ordered the 160 Fizik and am very pleased. I’d highly recommend.

Compared to the saddle/seat I was using, this one is surprisingly comfortable. I can still get in a position where I get numb, but it is happening way less with this one. Surprisingly comfortable meaning that I was expecting the nose to cause more chaffing to the upper legs/thighs, and it's not happening. I am pleasantly surprised. You do not need to ride with numbness and pain! Try this seat!

This is replacing a Selle Italia Novus Endurance TM.I am 6'-3" 230 lbs. My Selle saddle is very nice, has more cusion than the Fizik. But at large size 148 wide, the Fizik large at 160 mm wide is a better platform. The Fizik is 250 grams, 50 grams lighter than mt Sella.I have an endurance bike, with the frame a bit too large, so I need to put the seat as far forward as possible. The Fizik Argo, the rails are slightly more forward than some saddles. Which puts you a little further from your head tube. So if your frame is on the large size, this sadle may not work well. Actually I put my Selle back on, because with the Fizik Argo, I feel Im too far back from the handle bars.I am planning on getting a Bianchi Infinito at 59 cm frame, I think this may work well on that.Fizik has a workd class racing heritage. So with this being their most cusion saddle, its still not at all excessive.The rear of the saddle is high, then it doesn't go level, but slightly up, so it really has you planted, like a hoarse saddle in a way. But you can still move to the tip of the saddle, when you want to be over the cranks more, for power going up hills.It has a nice leather or synthetic leather cover, with some decent cussion underneath.The sides flex, its just seems very well made and designed.Its not for an upright bike for grandpas to go for a little ride.Its a seriius endurance saddle, for bikes like a Synapse, Roubaix, or Domane.

I have been testing many saddles before settling down with this one. Other ones I've tested is either too stiff/too brittle or does not provide enough comfort for longer rides. I chose to get the largest width at 160mm for maximum support and comfort. This saddle does not disappoint. R5 will provide you with the friendliest price but with heavier total weight while R1 is the lightest but also the most expensive. I chose R3 which is the mid range in terms of pricing and weight. If you got the money and want to save the most weight then I recommend the R1.

It's a very comfortable saddle. However, it broke at multiple points after almost 3 years of riding. The warranty was declined because it was over 2 years old. At this price, a lifetime warranty should be offered.

I've had over 10 bike saddles in my life as a cyclist and I had always strugled with numbness in the perineal area. None of the other saddles worked for me, no matter how much I tweaked with my position in the bike. This saddle from Fizik was a life changer for me, I can't be happier riding my bike :)

I’m 6’-3”, 198 lb. Have this on my 2013 Specialized shiv. Wise enough for me, 3+ hours in aero are no problem.

Muy a gusto el sillin, la marca trae mucha calidad.

Personal choice...works for me 500lm per week

Good quality, arrived on time. Couldn’t put to use too much as winter’s here. Looking forward to use it next summer.

El asiento es muy confortable, he rodado con el mas de 300km y no he tenido problemas. el asiento corto es perfecto para viajes largos ya que no te molesta en las partes sensibles asi como tambien tiene una muy buena abertura para evitar problema con la prostata. el asiento tambien es muy ligero y de muy buena calidad. si lo compraria de nuevo.
