The Selle Italia Flite is undoubtedly the classic among sports saddles. Countless generations have already ridden on models from the Flite series, undoubtedly indulging in heroic fantasies at times. The Giro d'Italia special edition of the saddle is no exception.
Like its model brothers, the special edition also has a narrow nose. The seat is relatively wide - if you follow Selle Italia's own system, the saddle is listed under the idMatch L1 category - and is intended to guarantee good comfort. The thin padding should also take care of this. Decorated with a Tour of Italy pink, the cover is made of soft yet durable Lorica leather.
The special edition Flite weighs a mere 220 grams, adding hardly any weight to the saddle. This is thanks to the saddle shell's construction. It's made from a carbon fiber composite, while the rails are constructed of titanium. There's no doubt about it: the Flite is a true performance saddle. With its flat surface and slightly sloping nose, it's particularly well-suited for riders with wider hips who maintain a relatively still position while riding.
Conclusion
The Selle Italia Flite Giro d'Italia practically begs to be used on the race track. It's certainly predestined for it. Thanks to its light weight and high-quality construction, it undoubtedly lives up to the reputation of the Flite model range. While the graphic might put some off, true fans of the Giro d'Italia will surely hear their hearts beat faster.
