Great upgrade, best parts and components

Very happy with the Fizik Argo Temo purchase. Best upgrade for my road bike since I switched to 28 tires a few years ago. Tried the Fizik Alliante Verso but it's not a good solution for me and I'm back. This Argo is much more comfortable. I ride 3-4 times a week for 1.5-2 hours. Revain's service and support is top notch.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Some little things

All Day Endurance Saddle

I put this saddle to the test this weekend, rode 100 miles on gravel and rode about 8 hours. My previous saddle (the WTB Volt that came with my Salsa Warbird) made me uncomfortable after 2-3 hours. It was a tough ride but the least pain I had was from the saddle, highly recommend!

Pros
  • GOLS Certified
Cons
  • Clarity

Best seat in Seats & Saddles

I had a Sella San Marco Concor; Sella Italia Flite and; has been making Fizik Aliante saddles for 15 years. I tried the new Aliante R1 and thought it would be relatively soft and plush like the old Aliante, but it wasn't at all. Incredibly painful. In desperation, I tried the Tempo Argo R1. For me (5ft - 7in, 150lbs) it's the best ever. Not that light but very comfortable especially if your shorts have good suede.

Pros
  • comfortable item
Cons
  • reliability

quality and comfort.

For use on an upright touring bike. With the right equipment you can sit comfortably. It's open to relieve pressure, which helps on long rides. So far I've only driven about 300 km with it. So far it's been so comfortable that I haven't thought about going back to my old saddle. All saddles are very personal items. What works for one, doesn't work for the other. I walked about a dozen saddles. At the moment it is a goalkeeper. It will be added to several other keepers. Fizik saddles are of very

Great company, great saddle. NOT SUITABLE FOR Endurace CANYON!

Excellent physicist. I ride on their saddles, on their boots. I love her. I needed a new saddle for my new Endurace 8.0 from Canyon so I ordered this for Endurance. This is her endurance saddle. The one that was on my canyon is also too small - 140mm with cones. Anyway, I've never been so excited when something comes up only to find it doesn't fit. The Canyon has a side saddle mount and the rails on this saddle are carbon and NOT barrel so the mount may not be high enough to hook onto. I…

Pros
  • The best in his niche
Cons
  • So-so

Saddles love Fizik - but

I have been riding Fizik saddles for many years. I've always been a fan of Arione models. Everything from the classic to the trendy Carbon K1 from many years ago. I could always drive over 100 km a day. My last one was worn out as my shorts were stuck to the seat. I tried the last two models with the Tempo R1 as I used the sit bone measurement guide to select this model. I've had it for a few months. At about 8 miles I can't take it, it's like riding a flat board. Thinking that I had to get…

Pros
  • everything is fine!
Cons
  • No power

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…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Speed
