Fizik Terra Argo X5

The Terra Argo is specifically designed to meet the demands of gravel riding, combining comfort and performance on even the toughest terrain. Its short-nose shape and optimized design provide stable and enjoyable riding, even on unpaved roads. With its carbon-reinforced nylon shell and S-Alloy rails, this saddle ensures excellent shock absorption while offering great durability. It's perfect for cyclists looking for a saddle that offers both flexibility and responsiveness, allowing better vibration control and long-distance comfort on rough roads.

GREATER STABILITY

Where a traditional saddle shape encourages riders to shift their position frequently for better leverage, the Argo puts riders in a more planted position, making for greater stability and better weight distribution. The Terra Argo’s short length allows riders to sit further forward without placing undue pressure on sensitive areas. It also features an ergonomic cut-out that was developed using detailed pressure analysis and input from medical experts.

GRAVEL SPECIFIC SADDLE

The Argo is our most versatile saddle shape, with each version suited to different riding styles. As the gravel-specific option, the Terra Argo has been engineered with a compliant shell to offer a certain degree of flexibility. This controlled elasticity absorbs road chatter and vibrations, delivering the comfort needed for long distance riding over unpaved roads.

STABILITY AND RESPONSIVENESS

To better support the Terra Argo’s flexible shell, we used our closed-loop Mobius rail system for increased structural stability and responsiveness. The Terra Argo features a waved profile to provide the lower-back support necessary for long rides and to help riders hold their position while climbing on loose terrain. The same goes for the dropped-nose design which allows riders to rotate their pelvis while pushing forward on the nose for better traction and power transfer.

LONG DISTANCE COMFORT

The padding is made from fizik’s proprietary Type-2 foam formulation, slightly thicker around the ischial sit bones area to support a more upright riding posture. The cushioning is slightly softer and more progressive than the type we use on our racing saddles, providing more long-distance comfort
