Its innovative short-nose design and Wingflex technology provide superior stability and adaptive comfort, while the ergonomic cutout and progressive Type 2 foam padding ensure pressure relief and long-distance support. Engineered for universal fit and balanced road geometry, this saddle is the go-to choice for riders seeking performance and comfort on every ride. ## Description TEMPO ARGO R5 is a versatile endurance road saddle with a short-nosed design and generous ischial support that encourages stability. Where a traditional saddle shape encourages riders to shift their position frequently for better leverage, Argo puts the rider in a more planted position, making for greater stability and better weight distribution. Tempo Argo’s short length allows the rider to sit further forward without placing undue pressure on sensitive tissues. It also features an ergonomic cutout that was developed using detailed pressure analysis and input from medical experts. Argo is our most versatile saddle shape and each version suits different riding styles. As the edurance riding option, Tempo Argo has been engineered to deliver a riding feel that suits the balanced geometry of today’s all-purpose road machines. 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 we use on our racing saddles, providing more long-distance comfort. Argo 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. Review: Great for me so far - Bike saddles are very personal. One person may feel most comfortable on a $200 saddle and one person may be most comfortable on a $20 saddle. Price isn't an indication of the most comfortable saddle. When someone finds a comfortable saddle, they will likely give it 5 stars, even if quality isn't good. It becomes a near emotional journey as saddle pain is frustrating. When it comes to this Fizik Tempo Argo Endurance saddle, my experience over 200 miles (20-40 mile rides) has been great. Quality seems very good and I realized with this saddle that my other saddles were too narrow. Initially, I had sit bone pressure I wasn't used to. I soon realized that this initial pain was an indication I was sitting on my sit bones for the first time on my saddle. Which must not have been the case prior. After 2-3 rides the sit bone pressure subsided. I suffered numbness for a long time just accepting I had sensitive regions down yonder(even with large cut out). With this saddle fitting me correctly (thus far) and the nice cut out I have zero numbness and the way the seat feels under me make me me feel confident and solidly on the bike. What I will say is that on this saddle I feel like there is one very specific place I must be sitting. Secondarily, it is odd looking to me at times as the short nose make the saddle appear setback further than it really is. Overall, what works for me may not work for you. Your experience may be a complete 180 of mine and my experience still may change, 40 miles is much diff than 100 or even back to back 30-50 mile rides with sweaty rear end this summer. I will update my review if issues arise. Review: Fizik Tempo Argo, A great saddle for the money - Great saddle! Took it out for my first ride today and did 32 miles, sitting in the saddle for 3 hours. The saddle is solid and stylish. I have a Trek FX 3 Gen 3, and this saddle is much better than the OEM saddle. It was very easy to install. It is a very firm seat, but not bad with biking shorts. It supported me just fine. I weigh 235 pounds and am 6 feet tall, and I ordered the 160 mm seat, which was a great fit. ## Features - R5: A combination of a ride-compliant carbon reinforced nylon shell and a S-Alloy Rail - Argo Tempo: Versatile endurance road saddle with a short-nose design and generous ischial support that encourages stability - Wingflex: The shell's side edges flex and adapt to rider's inner leg movement.Rail: 7x7 mm - Type 2 Foam: Progressive cushioning, with lower compression modulus - Purposeful design shape that helps the rider achieve a better riding posture - Fit Type: Universal Fit - Sport Type: Training - Tempo: Versatility road series designed for the most enjoyable riding experience ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0821SJ7CZ | | Best Sellers Rank | #22,653 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #54 in Bike Saddles | | Bike Type | Road Bike | | Brand | Fizik | | Brand Name | Fizik | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,138 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08021890486561 | | Included Components | Bike Saddle | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 8"L x 15"W x 4"H | | Item Highlight | Fizik Tempo Argo R5 Carbon Reinforced Saddle - 150mm Wide, Low Profile | | Item Type Name | bike-saddles-and-seats | | Item Weight | 241 g | | Manufacturer | Fizik | | Manufacturer Part Number | F1935150 | | Material | Carbon Fiber, Nylon, Kium | | Material Type | Carbon Fiber, Nylon, Kium | | Model Number | 70D9S00A23A22 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Outer Material | Carbon Fiber, Polyurethane (PU) | | Pad Type | Gel Pad | | Product Dimensions | 8"L x 15"W x 4"H | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer | | Weight Capacity Maximum | 225 g | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Fizik - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Carbon Fiber, Nylon, Kium - **Outer Material:** Carbon Fiber, Polyurethane (PU) - **Product Dimensions:** 8"L x 15"W x 4"H ## Images ![Tempo Argo R5 Road Saddle - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ImTv+V4TL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: I am looking for a women's specific ultra endurance saddle for an outie, to go on my mtb/gravel bike. will this saddle be comfortable for me?** A: Its not women's specific and comfort is dependent on the individual riders anatomy. People swear by ISM but I hate then. I don't like prologo, but Fizik just seems to work for me. **Q: I'm assuming its waterproof. it doesn't specify in the description. what do you guys think? sorry if this is a dumb question.** A: Yes it is waterproof **Q: Where is it made?** A: Made in Italy **Q: Which width do i choose? there is no fit guide and i can’t find one online or on fizik’s website.** A: To figure out what width you should purchase you need to measure the width of your sitbones. There are several ways of doing this just search online. However, the easiest way to do this by yourself is to place a piece of flat cardboard on a hard surface you can sit on that allows your knees to be bent at a 90ish degree angle. Sit ont the cardboard and your sitbones will make indentations in the cardboard. Once you have done this measure the distance between the centers of the two indents and add 20-25mm to this measurement. Once you have this measurement pick a seat that is close to this. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for me so far *by G***8 on November 26, 2025* Bike saddles are very personal.
