Fizik Terra Argo X3 K:ium Rail Gravel Saddle

Fizik Terra Argo X3 K:ium Rail Gravel Saddle

Ensuring maximum durability and strength without adding any excess grams to your ride, this Terra series gravel bike saddle is kitted out with a high-quality carbon reinforced nylon shell to take you beyond your boundaries. Fizik has also equipped this model with Wingflex technology at the edges of its shell, so riders can benefit from supportive flexibility that adapts to their inner leg movement. This controlled elasticity absorbs road chatter and vibrations, delivering the comfort needed for long-distance riding over mixed terrains and unpaved roads. With the addition of hollow K:ium rails that use a Mobius closed-loop design, this saddle provides extra strength and weight distribution, making it a reliable and stable choice of upgrade for wherever your next gravel adventure leads you.

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.

Stability and Responsiveness

To better support the Terra Argo’s flexible shell, Fizik used its 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 used on the brand's racing saddles, providing more long-distance comfort.
