dutchFi'zi:k VENTO Argo R1 ADAPTIVE 150mm Large
Fizik's 3D-printed Adaptive padding now makes its way into the Argo lineup for those who want exceptional, long-lasting comfort on a versatile platform that offers both stability and balance.
3D-PRINTED UPHOLSTERY
The technological capabilities of digital 3D printing have allowed us to develop a new kind of saddle without the limitations that traditional manufacturing processes and materials conditionally impose. The Adaptive Saddle Padding is manufactured by Carbon using revolutionary Digital Light Synthesis technology. DLS is an additive manufacturing process that uses digital ultraviolet light projection, oxygen permeable optics and controllable liquid resins to produce components with superior mechanical properties, resolution and surface finish.
CUSTOMIZED ZONAL DAMPING
Carbon's technology offers biomechanics and engineers unprecedented possibilities: multiple functional zones can be designed and manufactured within the saddle, each of them separately tuned for specific mechanical properties. Each of these key functional zones is designed for different damping characteristics and mechanical behavior, and is progressively and seamlessly assembled into the same padding. The result? A 60% reduction in pressure peaks through improved weight distribution for greater comfort across the entire saddle surface.
ARGO FOR EVERY SURFACE
Our most versatile saddle shape, the Argo is suitable for a wide range of bikes and surfaces. Whether on smooth asphalt or technical terrain, the Argo helps the rider adopt a better riding position, providing more stability and better weight distribution. Plus, the shorter drop nose design provides excellent support when moving into a performance-oriented, aerodynamic riding position.
DESIGN, TEST, RIDE
To develop the ideal Adaptive comfort zones, we studied the different riding positions and pressure points of professional cyclists and hobbyists alike, both in the Fizik labs and out on the roads, gravel paths and trails. At each stage of development, new variants were carefully tested, with a focus on understanding how pressure response changes according to bike geometry, riding position and surface type.
LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE
Maintaining the saddle is very simple. Even with stubborn dirt, dust or mud from the trails, all you need to do is hose it down with a little water. Whatever gets in, gets out. We put it through the most intensive testing, simulating accelerated weathering, UV aging and wear resistance to rigorous specifications.
