Product Description

A ride-compliant, gravel-specific saddle with a short-nose design and generous ischial support for improved stability.Where a traditional saddle shape encourages riders to shift their position frequently for better leverage, the Argo puts riders in a more planted position, making for greater stability and better weight distribution. The Terra Argo's short length allows riders to sit further forward without placing undue pressure on sensitive areas. It also features an ergonomic cut-out that was developed using detailed pressure analysis and input from medical experts.The Argo is a versatile saddle shape, with each version suited to different riding styles. As the gravel-specific option, the Terra Argo has been engineered with a compliant shell to offer a certain degree of flexibility. This controlled elasticity absorbs road chatter and vibrations, delivering the comfort needed for long distance riding over unpaved roads.To better support the Terra Argo's flexible shell, a closed-loop Mobius rail system is used for increased structural stability and responsiveness. The Terra Argo features a waved profile to provide the lower-back support necessary for long rides and to help riders hold their position while climbing on loose terrain. The same goes for the dropped-nose design which allows riders to rotate their pelvis while pushing forward on the nose for better traction and power transfer.The padding is made from fizik’s proprietary Type-2 foam formulation, slightly thicker around the ischial sit bones area to support a more upright riding posture. The cushioning is slightly softer and more progressive than the type used on racing saddles, providing more long-distance comfort.Features:Argo - versatile short-nose saddle that encourages stability and relieves pressure on sensitive areasX1 - a combination of a ride-compliant carbon reinforced nylon shell and carbon railMobius Rail - Closed loop design for added strength and weight distributionWingflex - The shell's side edges flex and adapt to a rider's inner leg movementType 2 foam - Progressive cushioning, with a lower compression modulusTerra - All-terrain series designed to take you beyond your boundariesIntended use - GravelConcepts - This is a product of the fizik Concepts programme, a cross-disciplinary collaboration of leading industry experts and academics carrying out research and analysis on technology, design, physiology and bike-fitting in search of ways to improve cycling performance.140mm - Length: 270 mm, Width: 140 mm, Weight: 209 g, Height at 75mm width: 50 mm, Length from nose to 75mm width: 121 mm, Rail: 7x9 mm150mm - Length: 270 mm, Width: 150 mm, Weight: 215 g, Height at 75mm width: 50 mm, Length from nose to 75mm width: 113 mm, Rail: 7x9 mm160mm - Length: 270 mm, Width: 160 mm, Weight: 219 g, Height at 75mm width: 50 mm, Length from nose to 75mm width: 113 mm, Rail: 7x9 mm | South Downs Bikes is a renowned bicycle retailer in the heart of the South Downs.
