Fizik Argo Vento R3 Saddle

Excelente

Simply the best saddle I’ve ever sat on !

自転車競技部の息子用に購入しました。それまでは、同メーカーのアリオネを使っていましたが、ショートサドルを試してみたいと、ARGO VENTOにしました。本人曰く、とても良いとの事です。

The Argo Vento saddle is a good choice for racing or endurance riders with saddle sore issues. Saddle sores can become an issue when riding long distances and a problematic once a rider is beset with an irritated bottom. Riding position, bike fit, hygiene, saddle shape, and saddle cushioning all play a part. I developed a chronic saddle sore issue that wasn't alleviated easily with rest and total abstinence from riding was not an option. The issue developed after a long term use of a well broken in Brooks leather saddle (decades of use with no issue) and wouldn't resolve after addressing the other aspects mentioned. I measured my sit bone width and selected the appropriate Argo Vento saddle (125mm) for me and problem solved. It really relieved pressure in the perineum that was the most sensitive area for me. I had a little trouble with the saddle being a little short for positioning with my seat post, but was ok once positioned as far forward in the post as possible. The R3 saddle is lightweight, firm, and appropriately cushioned for fast paced or competitive riding. I highly recommend this saddle if you are dealing with or want to avoid saddle sores.

Have had this saddle for a few months and decided it needs to go. It looks great but really not comfortable as 1. I find it too firm 2. it has hard lines in the form so not comfortable Shame as it's a really nice looking saddle.
