• idmatch: L3
• Weight: 280g
• Covering: Fibra-Tek
• Dimensions: 275mm x 145mm
• Saddle bars: Ti 316 Tube 7mm
• Destination: highway, mtb

Technology:

• EXTRA PADDING
  Additional soft padding for extra comfort on long journeys.
• FIBRA-TEK
  A technical microfibre material that is strong and durable, yet very lightweight.
• SHOCK ABSORBER TECHNOLOGY
  The use of Shock Absorber between the shell and the saddle rods provides a damping system that absorbs and eliminates all road shocks and vibrations.
• SUPERFLOW CHANNEL
  The new SuperFlow technology (a specially enlarged anatomical cut-out) allows people of different sizes to always find the perfect and extremely comfortable position to rest on the saddle. In addition, the new Superflow drastically reduces all physical limitations caused by prolonged pressure on the pelvis, which affects many bikers, especially when riding long distances.
• TI 316 7mm
  Saddle bars made of TI 316 titanium have increased resistance and durability by 25%, and reduced weight by 15% compared to traditional bars. Diameter 7mm.

What is the ID Match?
Written for this purpose by Selle Italia IT specialists, a special computer program allows you to adjust the appropriate model of the saddle to the individual needs of the rider. The idea of the Italians is to distinguish the so-called multi-phase measurement, for which it will be required to enter relevant data such as: age, sex, weight, height, distance covered in the season, spine angle (position on the bike), pelvic bone spacing, thigh circumference, etc. to the said computer program. With a view to using idMatch, a new Flite model was created, which together with the system was tested in the best Italian and Swiss shops and by the world's leading cyclists.

Details: We all know how difficult it is to fit a suitable saddle. And it's not about the basic comfort factor, which is the softness of the saddle, but perhaps the most important parameter, which is the width of the saddle. Narrow or wide? The question is important, a saddle that is too narrow will make you feel that you are sitting on so-called "soft" parts of your body. Too wide will cause the feeling of sitting on the "couch" and a high probability of rubbing your thighs against the edges.

Saddle manufacturers have come up against us by planting gel pads to locate sciatic tumors or trying to determine the position of sciatic tumors through our elasticity. All these methods are reasonably effective but based on one parameter, they are not entirely accurate. Selle Italia with the IDMatch system has decided to approach the subject more comprehensively and not to base the measurement system on just one parameter but on three, which gives more accurate results. The basis is the results of three measurements and the IDMatch system on the website.

The measurements are measured as follows: the width between the twisters (this is the distance measured on the outside of the femur), thigh circumference and pelvic position. The measurement of the width between the corners is based on the width between the sciatic tumors, which is a parameter that determines the width of the saddle. The second parameter that is measured is thigh circumference, this is especially important for people who narrowly guide their knees while riding and rub their thighs against the saddle. The third and last parameter is measuring the position of the pelvis when leaning forward, this allows you to determine whether you need a saddle with or without a hole. The results of the above measurements are entered on the IDMatch page, where the system suggests a suitable saddle for us after the calculations. Saddles are divided into categories S1, S2, S3 and L1, L2, L3. Saddles in the S category are narrow saddles, the L category is wide saddles, a digit after a letter indicates whether the saddle should be with a hole and how big.
