QUALITY DRIVEN
Each and every Selle Italia saddle is the fruit of our constant research and development programs. We use detailed scientific studies and millimeter after millimeter, material after material, we work closely with the top doctors and biomechanics scientists to turn out saddles which come one step closer to perfection, which fit any anatomy, and which can meet any possible need of the cyclist.
SELLE ITALIA
The great adventure of Selle Italia began just outside of Milan in the village of Corsico in 1897. Selle Italia was originally founded to make saddles for everyday bicycles used for transportation.
Back then, automobiles were unaffordable for most and the bicycle was the transport of choice for many. Fast forward to the late 1970′s. The automobile had long replaced the bicycle as a primary mode of transport and cycling was more for sport than anything.
Today more than ever, research and development come first for Selle Italia. In the past, saddles were produced first and their use was determined later. Today Selle Italia never creates just any product. We make careful research and lab tests, then extensive real-life testing with riders. That’s how perfect saddles are born, and that is why Selle Italia saddles optimize comfort and performance for any rider.
The Bigolin family took over Selle Italia and began an upward trajectory that propelled Selle Italia to the top with continuous product innovation encompassing new construction techniques and using new materials. This innovation and vision has made Selle Italia the acknowledged #1 source for high-end bicycle saddles worldwide.

Product description
I love this saddle. I’ve spent a lot of time on the Power by Specialized and the Selle SMP Forma. The power was okay..very rideable…I think it could have used a slightly wider cutout toward the nose. The Forma is very narrow and unpadded. It was painful. The SLR Boost Superflow is the best of these based on my experience. The saddle has a nice flat area under the sit bones and one of the larger cutouts on the market. The flat rear portion allows me to feel stable and supported in more upright positions. Other saddle have more curves/slopes that leave me needing to lean on my hands more for stabilization. I can’t ride on saddles without an ergonomic cutout. The SLR Boost Superflow has a long wide channel that extends nicely to the nose. It allows me to rock my hips forward so I can get my torso low and out of the wind without putting pressure on my perineum. The padding is sufficient to take the edge off road imperfections while not being too spongy. I bought the 145mm and have 130mm sit bone width.
I bought a new Trek Domane AL5. The saddle was pretty good, but I would get sit bone pains after long rides. A lot of riders I know swear by this and I see why! It takes a good bike fit to really work out exact positioning, but after a couple tweaks on the pitch, fore and aft positioning, and saddle height, I love it. I have ridden 3000 miles on this saddle including several 50-80 miles rides and I am very happy with this. I think unless you are very short or have a really narrow skeletal structure the 135mm should fit most adults just fine. Some people think they need a bigger saddle because they have a larger waist. But your sit bones are still the same no matter how big your waist is.
Fast delivery but damaged produc
Product arrived faster than expected, but there was a cut on the saddle cushioning. Decided to accept it as it was a better price than local options. Packaging wasn’t damaged so delivery should have been fine
Road saddles are tricky to buy online. This is the 5th one I’ve purchased and while not ideal, it’s a very good saddle. I’m 6′-1″ with 33″ waist, 170 lbs and I’m in my early 60s. I had a Fizik saddle I rode on for 10 yrs. Loved the fit, but wanted one with an open channel to reduce nerve compression. (As you get older nerve compression from cycling can reduce sensation of your other leg!). To me, this saddle is a little short as I’d prefer 1″ or 1.5″ longer with an extended open channel. Selle has some longer models so may eventually try one. I had a hard time finding a seat to fit curvature of my butt/bones. Tried 2 ISM saddles and loved their open channels and pronged open front, but the 2 that I tried were too flat on top which caused the rounded edges sloping downward to be uncomfortable. The Selle Italia saddles are classic curvature for road cycling and there are different models to pick from. This was the 3rd one I tried from Selle and it fits me best for road cycling. Sleek comfortable contour and lightweight with adequate padding. Texture of surface is a bit grippy – would be better with a faux leather or something that allows more sliding, but then again, this saddle has slight curvature to it’s shape so you are fit into it; for some riders this might limit how much you can move to the back. On long climbs , for example, this might be an issue for some riders that like to sit back on the saddle going up a long grade. I compensated for the lack of length but lowering the front by 2 or 3 degrees and on 25 mile ride today had no discomfort or compression of soft tissue. It’s a tighter fitting saddle than I’m used to but seems to work very well and open channel does seem to relieve my never compression issue. For most road cyclists this is probably a very good choice so long as it fits your body.
Great seat, the cut out is perfect but the way the seat curves down means that the edge of the cutout is angles up which in turn happens to rub me wrong and I developed a saddle sore in that spot. Just the way the saddle interacts with my body and the chamois on my bib. Otherwise this is a saddle that I sat on and instantly thought wow this is comfortable and I felt no discomfort on 1 hr rides. But most of my rides are long so it did not work ou
I’ve put 200 miles on this saddle now, with the longest single ride being 65 miles. It’s incredibly comfortable and I see why it’s such a popular saddle. First of all, the center cut-out is a game changer. I was experience numbness on my old saddle (though it wasn’t always that way; the problem developed this season), so going to the cut-out sadle IMMEDIATELY solved this. ZERO numbness.
The saddle has very little padding, but it’s surprisingly well suited to endurance riding (I have it mounted on my Canyon Endurace CF SL). It took about 50 miles to break in, but since then I don’t even feel the thing. Perhaps after the 60 miles mark on my rides I start becoming “aware” of the contact points on the saddle, but it’s minimal.. and that’s pretty normal for any saddle after awhile. Still, for being such a short and compact shape, I find a surprising amount of positions on it. As advertsized, you can really ride comfortably on the nose of this thing and put the power down.
Highly recommended. Just get it.
FYI: I have 110mm sit bones and bout the S3 (130mm wide) version. Perfect fit.
Comfort perineal
Por fin se va el adormecimiento. Falta probarlo en ruta larga. No obstante, en rutas de hasta 2h y media cero adormecimiento. Anteriormente cada 30 minutos o antes se me dorma.
Importante tambin medirse la distancia entre isquiones. Una manera praies sentarse sobre un cartn en posicin fetal. De la marca de las dos lineas que quedan, tomamos la medida dsde la mitad de cada una de ellas. As elegiris mejor el ancho vuestro.
Delivery was fast.
Well made, does not creak.
If it fits your body you probably will love it. I was surprised how short it is but as it turns out when I sit in the “sweet spot” in this saddle support is great, pressure where its supposed to be, does not hurt after my usual 1 to 2 hour rides. Cut out is well positioned and helps me enjoy the ride. Padding is fine not too thin or thick. Looking forward to longer rides to really test the comfort level. Expensive? If it helps make cycling more enjoyable its worth every penny.
