Fizik Vento Argo R5
Performance in the Attack Position.
The Vento Argo R5 is built for the "attack" position. Its short-nose design and ergonomic centre cutout were developed using advanced pressure mapping and medical insight to eliminate soft-tissue compression. By dropping the nose slightly, Fizik has created a platform that supports the pubic bone when the pelvis is rotated forward, allowing you to maintain an aero tuck for longer without the typical discomfort.
Why the Vento Argo R5 is a Racing Favorite:
-
Short-Nose Stability: The 265mm length and wider nose allow for more contact and support, preventing you from constantly "searching" for the right spot on the saddle during high-output efforts.
-
Ergonomic Pressure Relief: A large, central cutout ensures that blood flow isn't restricted and sensitive areas are protected, even when you're rotated forward into a deep racing stance.
-
Type 1 Foam Padding: Fizik uses a reactive, low-profile foam that is thicker at the sit bones for comfort but firm enough to provide the direct power transfer that racers demand.
-
Kium Steel Alloy Rails: The R5 model features S-Alloy steel rails, offering a great balance of strength, vibration damping, and weight (approx. 240g).
-
Versatile Width Options: Available in 140mm and 150mm widths to ensure you get the perfect fit for your sit-bone anatomy.
