FIZIK saddle Tempo Argo R1 150 mm | black

The Tempo ARGO R1 is a versatile endurance saddle with a short nose that promotes stability.
Equipped with a pressure relief channel in the middle of the saddle, it ensures an anatomically optimal weight distribution and avoids excessive pressure on the blood vessels and nerves in the perineal area. While a traditional saddle shape encourages the rider to change position frequently for better leverage, Argo puts the rider in an aggressive position, which provides more stability and better weight distribution. The upholstery consists of the foam formulation type 2 developed by FIZIK, which has a lower profile and is reactive and springy in order to react immediately and to ensure optimal power transmission.

Aeris Long Distance is a split-nose triathlon bike saddle designed to provide greater support and stability when riding in forward, aerodynamic racing positions.

THE SCIENCE OF COMFORT & SPEED

Innovation in bike-fitting analysis alongside research on cycling aerodynamics led us to rethink our triathlon and time-trial saddles. In a field where marginal gains are fundamental, being able to provide a saddle that allows comfort in the most extreme aerodynamic positions represents a leap forward in performance achievement.

DESIGNED TO GO THE DISTANCE

The Long-Distance version of Aeris is engineered with a split-nose construction. The independent halves of the nose allow for an unprecedented pressure-relief system while continuing to maintain the firm support and balance needed for long hours spent pushing in aero positions. At the nose, the rail loop provides strength to avoid asymmetrical fatigue while also acting as a hook to hold the bike in place in race transition zones.

SUPPORTING TRI RIDERS

The saddle padding consists of our type-1 formulation—thicker on the nose, where triathletes and time-trialists spend most of their time, and slimmer on the ischial bones to provide a firmer feeling for when riders need to rise from the aero position.

NUMEROUS FEATURES FOR MULTI-DISCIPLINE

Aeris comes with an optional Link to integrate a water-bottle cage to the rear of the saddle. The link is designed to hold bottles at an angle that is out of the way during the critical mounting and dismounting phases at transition zones. Complying with UCI rules, Aeris is equipped with a revolutionary rail insertion that provides a more aero feeling by allowing for a broad range of adjustability, necessary to achieve the ideal forward riding position to beat the wind.
