FizikVento Argo Adaptive, 3D Printed Short-Nose Bike Saddle

I’ll keep this review extremely short. Finding a saddle is very much a personal experience. With that said, my personal experience has been rather mixed. Doing a 1-2 hr ride is just fine for me. Anything over 2 hours and I feel my bits becoming numb. I did a 6+ hour Grand Gondo on this and I was completely numb, obviously doing nerve damage. Over a few days, things normalised though. The sides of the seats are firm yet have a little give which is great. The rear and middle have generous give designed to release pressure points but I personally found this to not be beneficial at all. As stated, for a short, 1-2 hour ride, for me it’s perfect. Anything longer and I’m numb. It hurts me to say this but I have to return it. I’ll spare no expense to finding the right saddle but unfortunately, this one wasn’t for me. Despite these shortcomings, I still give this 5 stars because the product does what it’s intended to do, and it does it well.Everyone’s experience will be different though and I encourage you to please give this a try. I imagine this saddle will make many people happy. Oh and btw, this saddle was/is super light and looks amazing. I had no issues cleaning it all.

Got one for gravel bike. Liked it so much got another for mtb. Like any saddle, it takes a few rides to dial in the perfect position. I Get a lot of comments about how cool it looks .fair price point

I was looking for a bicycle saddle for quite some time now until I bought this Fisik Argo saddle. It only took me two days to get used to it. It is smooth, well-made, very light, and I’m sure will last for many years.

I started riding after heart surgery when I was 39. I am now 71. I have owned more saddles that I can name in that time, in search of the perfect saddle. I recently bought 2 Canyon bikes which came with some very good Fizik saddles so I thought why not try this 3D pinted one. I can say that undoughtably this is the best desgined most comfortable and best perfroming saddle that I've had the plesure of riding. I know saddles are subjective to the rider and pelvic width. Regular saddles are subject to the limitaitons of the materials and it's true, Fizik studied both amateur and professional riders to see how these saddles could be designed to meet needs of all riders. The 3D printers allow the designers to ajdust the amount of comfort through the whole area of the saddle. It's pricey butt give your bum a break and try it.

I had a love affair with the old Fizik Aliante which unfortunately morphed into Tempo Aliante R1. A saddle that can only be described as riding on a 2x4 edgewise. Hoping there still migh be some benefit to sticking with Fizik I then bought the Tempo Argo R3, which was a major improvement, but any ride over 3 hours was again painful. In desperation the Vento Argo R3 Adaptive looked like a good alternative. It's still firm, which translates to power but much softer where it counts. So far, my winter rides have been limited to the trainer, but the difference is significant. I look forward to getting back out on the roads where I'm hoping it will be a little more like the old Aliante.

I have tried many bicycle saddles, but nothing matches the comfort I got from this product.

This is my first replacement saddle for my Trek Domane RSL project one road bike. The rides are way more comfortable than before. I need a few more rides to get it dialed in on seat height and rail distance, but what a great purchase.

It's comfortable as it provides different firmness and cushions at different zones, firm on sit bones and soft on soft issue areas.However, the biggest disappointment for me is the honeycomb patterns which act like a cheese grater that constantly rubs/wears my short bibs on inner thighs. Other 3D printed saddles have smooth surface (with small perforations) in this area that don't tear apart your bibs quickly.

Exelente sillin muy cómodo exelente calidad de los materiales

Ich habe mich von dem 3 D Hype infizieren lassen. Muss aber zugeben für den Preis habe ich mir was besseres versprochen. Ich denke jeder Moosgummisattel von Selle ist besser.

Ho comprato per 258€ una sella Fizik presentata sull’annuncio come “misura unica” con fotografie riportanti la sella da 140 mm (taglia standard).All’arrivo del prodotto ho scoperto che mi era stata spedita la taglia large da 150 mm, non adatta alle mie misure antropometriche. Contattato il venditore per il problema, dopo vari tentativi, mi è stato risposto che avrei dovuto leggere una sigla composta da numeri e lettere presente da qualche parte in descrizione, da cui avrei dovuto capire che la taglia non era quella delle fotografie publicate, senza che questo fosse neanche minimamente descritto sul titolo dell’annuncio. Ho chiesto che mi venissero rimborsate le spese di reso, visto il disguido, ma mi è stato risposto che questo non era possibile. Quindi dopo aver perso una settimana di tempo, ho dovuto spendere 9,90€ alla posta per un pacco tracciato ed eseguire il reso del prodotto.
