The Fizik Argo Terra range is designed to deliver a compliant and gravel-specific riding experience. With its short-nose design and ample ischial support, the Terra Argo saddle offers enhanced stability on rugged terrain.
Unlike traditional saddles that may require frequent position adjustments for optimal leverage, the Argo promotes a planted riding position, ensuring greater stability and improved weight distribution. Its shortened length allows riders to sit further forward without causing discomfort, thanks to an ergonomic cut-out developed through meticulous pressure analysis by medical experts.
As Fizik's most versatile saddle shape, each version of the Argo is tailored to different riding styles. The Terra Argo, specifically engineered for gravel riding, features a compliant shell that offers controlled elasticity to absorb road chatter and vibrations, providing the comfort necessary for extended rides on unpaved roads.
To reinforce the flexibility of the Terra Argo's shell, Fizik utilises a closed-loop mobius rail system, enhancing structural stability and responsiveness. The waved profile of the saddle provides essential lower-back support during long rides and aids riders in maintaining their position while climbing on loose terrain.
The dropped nose design allows riders to rotate their pelvis forward for improved traction and power transfer, while the padding, crafted from Fizik's proprietary Type-2 foam formulation, offers targeted support around the ischial bones area for a more upright riding posture. This cushioning, softer and more progressive than that found in Fizik's racing saddles, ensures enhanced long-distance comfort.
