fizik Terra Argo X3 - schwarz

A versatile gravel saddle with a short nose and a combination of a compliant, carbon-reinforced nylon shell and Kium hollow rails.

A rideable gravel saddle with a short nose and generous sit bone support for improved stability.

GREATER STABILITY
While a traditional saddle shape encourages riders to frequently change their position for better leverage, the Argo puts riders in a more planted position, providing more stability and better weight distribution. The short length of the Terra Argo allows the rider to sit further forward without putting excessive pressure on sensitive areas. It also features an ergonomic cutout developed using detailed pressure analysis and input from medical experts.

GRAVEL SPECIFIC SADDLE
The Argo is our most versatile saddle shape, with each version suitable for different riding styles. As a gravel-specific option, the Terra Argo is equipped with a compliant shell to offer a degree of flexibility. This controlled elasticity absorbs road chatter and vibrations, providing the comfort needed for long distances on unpaved roads.

STABILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS
To better support the flexible shell of the Terra Argo, we used our Mobius rail system with a closed loop design to increase structural stability and responsiveness. The Terra Argo features a waved profile that provides the lower back support needed for long rides and helps riders maintain their position when climbing in loose terrain. The same goes for the dropped nose design, where the rider can rotate their pelvis while pushing the nose forward for better traction and power transfer.

LONG DISTANCE COMFORT
The padding consists of the Type-2 foam formulation developed by fizik, which is slightly thicker in the ischial sit bone area to support a more upright riding posture. The cushioning is slightly softer and more progressive than our racing saddles, providing more comfort over long distances.
