Product news: Selle Italia brings limited and exclusive series of its most popular saddles

June 17, 2016 by Andrew Waldera

Market: The Italian saddle specialist Selle Italia reinterprets the company's three most popular saddles and focuses entirely on design. The result is fascinating collector's items that give the bike a very exclusive touch in a modern, minimalist way. The editions of the three saddles are strictly limited to only 300 pieces each.

SLR Kit Carbonio Nero Puro – The classic in elegant deep black

The SLR saddle from Selle Italia has been a cult for a long time, now the limited edition of the classic is available in elegant deep black. However, the focus of the designers was not only on the appearance of the saddle, but also on the highest possible level of comfort. The SLR Kit Carbonio Nero Puro has the flow recess, which is intended to effectively minimize pressure points in the perineal area and vibrations. For increased flexibility of the saddle nose, a curved frame is used, the so-called "Flexible Carbon Rail". The ceramic coating of the frame also withstands the stresses of sharp-edged seat posts. At 120 grams, the extremely light SLR Kit Carbonio Nero Puro is 275 millimeters long and 131 millimeters wide. Cost of the good piece: 239,00 euros.

SLR X-Cross Flow Nero Puro – The SLR for mountain bikers

Selle Italia has the SLR X-Cross Flow Nero Puro especially for the mountain bike sector. Like the SLR Kit Carbonio Nero Puro, the deep black mountain bike saddle has the Flow cut-out, which is intended to ensure the greatest possible comfort for the rider. The MTB saddle is 275 millimeters long and 131 millimeters wide. With a weight of 170 grams, the X-Cross Flow is one of the lightest saddles in its category. The patented Ti316 frame is of course approved for lowerable seat posts. The SLR X-Cross Flow Nero Puro is available at a price of 159,00 euros.
