Review on 🚴 Enhance your Cycling Performance with the Fizik Tempo Argo R1 Saddle by Steve Arnold

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost perfect: seats and saddles

Nice saddle, just make sure the oval carbon rails fit. I had to change the post clamp from 7x7 for aluminum rails to 7x9 for carbon rails. Looks like I need a 7x10 clamp but 9 holds up. I've only ridden it about 300 miles so far, but the saddle feels great and has a great cutout. I noticed that the edges around the neckline are nicely padded and the saddle wings flex a bit for comfort. I was running a 143mm Specialized Power saddle and liked the short nose design, but the fenders on the Power were rubbing my inner thighs terribly. That wasn't a problem with this Fizik. Most of my rides are around 2 hours. I love this saddle for the first hour, but I think after two hours I hate all saddles. I have tried many saddles and while this Fizik may not be the best, it is by far the best saddle I have ridden. I like it better than Specialized Power and Power Arc. At a much lower price point than Sworks Power, I highly recommend trying it out.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Speed
