I bought this saddle a few months ago after experiencing numbness and discomfort with the Fizik Arione R1 saddle which came with my bike when using my bike on my turbo. This has resolved all issues with numbness and has a much more planted feel which has been great for power output. Given its short nature it takes a little while to get it positioned correctly but once done you won't look back!
Product Details
Fizik Tempo Argo R1 Saddle
The Fizik Tempo Argo R1 Saddle is designed with endurance cyclists in mind. The versatile short-nosed shape delivers stability and with an ergonomic cut-out, it helps to relieve pressure from sensitive soft tissue areas. Fizik has used their slightly thicker Type 2 foam around the ischial sit bones so that the more upright geometry of all-purpose bikes is supported and cushioned. A compliant carbon-reinforced nylon shell combines with incredibly stiff carbon rails for comfort and performance and the sides adapt to your inner leg movements. There are two width options - 150mm or 160mm - so you can choose the right fit for your unique requirements as a rider.

About Fizik
Where the rider meets the bike.
Fizik was founded in Northern Italy with the conviction that the three points of contact between rider and bike — saddle, shoes, handlebar tape — deserve the same engineering focus as the bike itself. Every product is engineered around the rider's body to make the long ride feel shorter.
Fizik's saddle range is organised around the Spine Concept — Bull, Chameleon, Snake — matching saddle shape to rider flexibility. The result is a comfort claim backed by anatomy rather than marketing.
