The rare quality of the resilience and flexibility of our materials make these saddles the ideal instrument for anyone who demands exceptional performance without compromising comfort.

• Weight: 270g
• Coverage: Duro-Tek
• Dimensions: 255mm x 148mm
• Saddle bars: Manganese Tube 7mm
• Destination: highway, mtb

Technology:

• DUAL PADDING

The double lining with variable density ensures comfortable seating even over longer distances.

• DURO-TEK

Very durable and anti-abrasive coating.

• MANGANESE TUBE 7mm

• 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.

What is an ID Match?

Written for this purpose by Selle Italia's IT specialists, a special computer program allows you to adjust the appropriate saddle model 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.

From 2013 all Selle Italia saddles will be sold with an indication of which category they belong to. The system, when giving the final result, 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 done in the shop.
