Has anyone tried these newer style of saddles from Fizik? I use the Antares on my road bikes and considering trying the Tempo Argo on my gravel bike but wanted to get some input first. I looked around online and wasn't able to locate any reviews on it.

i use pretty narrow/flat saddles without cutouts comfortably (arione, sometimes i’m okay on antares depending on the bike), and the 150mm argo tempo gives me a lot of pain in my sit bones. i’m giving the vento version a shot this weekend but i’m not that hopeful.

i’ve also tried similar shapes before (spesh power) without a lot of luck.

reference: male, aggressive position (10-15cm drop).

I have an Argo Vento sitting in my bike room and I think it is going back to where it came from. I have been using the Spec Power 155 for about four years now. The Argo Vento looks far more curved than the Power. It looks akin to the Power ARC or the Romin Evo shape and I tried the ARC and it did not agree with the architecture of my posterior.

Anyone tried the Tempo version of this saddle?

I have the Fizik Argo Vento 140mm for a month now. It does not agree with my butt. The saddle feels like concrete to me, even though the padding is soft when pressing it with my thumb.

The cutout and nose shape is good though because I do not feel any pressure or residual pressure on my undercarriage when riding on steep hills

But everyone's butt is different so this saddle may be for you, but is not for me.
