Argo Tempo R3 Saddle
When you're on the bike for hours at a time, the last thing you should worry about is a painful posterior. Built for endurance road cycling, the Tempo Argo R3brings stability and pressure-relieving comfort to long, arduous rides thanks to its short-nose design and generous sit bone support. This model uses Fizik's R3 shell, a carbon-reinforced nylon, and Kium hollow rails to balance strength, weight, and price-point.
While traditional saddle shapes require you to shift your position frequently for better leverage on changing gradients, the Argo puts you in more planted position for greater stability and better weight distribution. This model uses Fizik's Type 2 Foam, which both compresses less and supports a more upright posture for improved comfort on long-distance rides. Should you choose to adopt a more aggressive forward-leaning position, the shorter length allows you to do so without placing undue pressure on sensitive tissues.

Seventh saddle I've tried and this is a winner. It combines really great sitbone support with a generous cutout so you can sit up or ride in near TT like position with no pressure. Materials are premium and a great, minimalist aesthetic. My only complaint is my Argo didn't find me sooner.

Similar to the Specialized Power saddle, but I've been digging this better. It's fantastic!
