  • Coverage: Fibra-Tek
  • Dimensions: 270mm x 152mm

Technologies:

  • EXTRA PADDING

Extra soft padding for more comfort on long rides.

  • FIBRA-TEK

Technical microfibre material, which is strong and durable while being very light.

  • SHOCK ABSORBER TECHNOLOGY

The use of Shock Absorber elastomer between the shell and the bars of the saddle provides a damping system that absorbs and eliminates all shocks and road vibrations.

  • SUPERFLOW CHANNEL

The new SuperFlow technology (specially enlarged anatomical cut-out) enables people of all sizes to always find the ideal and extremely comfortable position to rest on the saddle. In addition, the new Superflow drastically reduces all the physical constraints caused by prolonged pelvic pressure, which affects many cyclists, especially when riding long distances.

  • TI 316 7mm

Saddle bars made from TI 316 titanium have increased resistance and durability by 25%, and reduced weight by 15% compared to traditional bars. 7mm diameter.


What is ID Match?

A special computer program written for this purpose by Selle Italia's IT specialists, which allows the appropriate saddle model to be matched to the rider's individual needs. The Italians' idea is to use the so-called multi-phase measurement, for which it will be necessary to enter the relevant data such as: age, sex, weight, height, distance covered during the season, spine angle (position on the bike), pelvic bone span, thigh circumference, etc., into the above-mentioned computer programme. With the application of idMatch in mind, the new Flite model has been developed, which, together with the system, has been 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 the right saddle. And it's not just the softness of the saddle that is the most important comfort criterion, but the width of the saddle. Narrow or wide? The question is important, too narrow saddle 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 a "couch" and a high probability of rubbing your thighs against the edges.

Saddle manufacturers have come out to meet us by giving us gel cushions which are supposed to locate the ischial tuberosities or by trying to determine the position of the ischial tuberosities through our bounce. These methods are all reasonably effective but are based on a single 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 only on one parameter, but on three, which gives more accurate results. The basis is the results of the three measurements and the IDMatch system on the website.

The measurements are as follows: width between the vertebrae (this is the distance measured on the outside of the femurs), thigh circumference and pelvic position. Based on the measurement of the width between the vertebrae, which is obtained with a specialised measure, we obtain the width between the ischial tuberosities, which is the parameter that determines the width of the saddle. The second parameter which is measured is the circumference of the thigh; it is especially important for people who narrow their knees when riding and rub their thighs against the saddle. The third and last parameter is to measure 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 into the IDMatch website where, after recalculation, the system suggests a suitable saddle for you. Saddles are divided into categories S1,S2, S3 and L1, L2, L3. Saddles from category S are narrow saddles, category L are wide saddles, number after the letter means whether the saddle should have a hole and how big it should be.

From 2013 onwards, all Selle Italia saddles will be sold with a label indicating which category they belong to. When the final result is given, the system offers saddles from the same category but in a different price range, i.e. for every budget. The whole measurement takes about 1 minute and can be easily performed in shop conditions.
