Fizik Tempo Argo R5

Short-Nose Geometry. Endurance Comfort.

The defining highlight of the Fizik Tempo Argo R5 is its purpose-driven short-nose architecture. Measuring just 260mm in length, the shortened nose allows you to sit further forward on the saddle without placing unwanted pressure on sensitive soft tissues. Combined with Fizik’s specialized Type 2 Foam padding, which is slightly thicker and softer around the sit-bone area, the Tempo Argo R5 actively absorbs road buzz and supports an upright pelvic angle for hours of fatigue-free pedaling.

Why the Tempo Argo R5 is an Endurance Favorite:

• Short-Nose Argo Profile: Improves stability and allows for a more relaxed, natural seating position while eliminating inner-thigh friction and front-end pressure.

• Generous Ergonomic Cutout: Features a full-length central cutout designed using detailed pressure analysis, ensuring optimal blood flow and total relief from perineal numbness.

• Proprietary Type 2 Foam Padding: Features a progressive cushioning formulation that is softer and more compliant than traditional race saddles, providing plush sit-bone support over long distances.

• Carbon-Reinforced Nylon Shell: Engineered with controlled flexibility, allowing the shell to flex slightly under heavy pedaling loads to absorb harsh road vibrations.

• S-Alloy Steel Rails (7mm Round): Strong, durable, and reliable 7mm alloy rails provide excellent shock absorption and universal compatibility with standard seatpost clamps.

• Wing Flex Technology: The side edges of the shell flex fluidly with your inner thighs, adapting to your pedaling stroke for uninhibited movement.

The Alegro Perspective: The go-to recommendation for endurance riders who want modern short-nose performance without the ultra-firm, stiff feel of a pure race saddle. Fizik’s Type 2 foam strikes the perfect balance. It’s supportive enough that you won't sink through it to the shell, yet forgiving enough to handle choppy chip-seal roads all day long. Plus, the S-Alloy round rails mean setup is completely painless on any standard seatpost.
