Review on Fizik Argo Vento R3 Ergonomic Saddle by Miguel Escobar

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice neckline but steep descent

From the moment I climbed into this saddle I knew it wasn't for me. The neckline is great, quite large. The padding is also fairly supportive yet firm. The only but important problem with this saddle is that it starts to fall off at the edges. I am currently running a 138mm saddle with a smooth side curve. Despite the narrow width, it doesn't cause me any pain. However, this saddle flattens out in the middle and then drops at a more acute angle, creating a crease right where the sit bones meet the saddle. The feeling is not pleasant, to say the least. I don't think this saddle will be comfortable for anyone other than a rather narrow sit bone to be honest. I have a 115mm fit and tried the 142mm version. Maybe a wider version would fit better, but I didn't like the overall design. Maybe you're luckier than me.

Pros
  • Sports and outdoor activities
