Description

Three inseparable features; one great product. Flite, which has supported all the greatest masters for 30 years, has been transformed with the main features that have made it an icon of cycling. In fact, the Flite Boost retains the style and classic flat saddle, while increasing the comfort and performance of every rider thanks to its compact and aerodynamic shape. A saddle designed and built to continue a winning tradition.

Specification:

  • idmatch: L3
  • Weight: 234 g
  • Covering: Fibra-Tek
  • Dimensions: 155 x 248 mm
  • Saddle rods: TI 316 Tube O7 mm
  • Use: road, mtb

Technology:


  • FIBRA-TEK
    A technical microfibre material which is strong and durable at the same time as it is very lightweight.

  • FLAT AND BOOST SHAPE
    Flite Boost returns to the classic "flat" shape that has always stood out for the FLITE family, to guarantee performance and maximum stability when pedalling with a more compact shape (248 mm long).

  • LIGHT GEL
    Lightweight gel layer for excellent seating comfort and full absorption of vibrations, guaranteeing lightness and efficiency.

  • NEW FLITE LOGO
    New logo to relive the history and victories of a legendary product. A saddle that has supported and continues to support champions such as Mathieu Van Der Poel, Caleb Ewan, Philippe Gilbert and many others.

  • SUPERFLOW CHANNEL
    The new SuperFlow technology (a specially enlarged anatomical cut-out) enables people of different 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 pressure on the pelvis, which affects many cyclists, especially when riding long distances.
  • TI 316 TUBE 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 distinguished by the application of 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 mentioned 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 is 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 fairly 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 corners (this is the distance measured on the outside of the femur), the circumference of the thigh and the pelvic position. The measurement of the width between the corners of the body, which is obtained by means of a special measure, is used to obtain the width between the sciatic tumors, which is the parameter that determines the width of the saddle. The second parameter that is measured is thigh circumference, which is especially important for people who narrowly guide their knees while riding and rub their thighs against the saddle. The third and final parameter is the measurement of the pelvic position when leaning forward, which 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 category S are narrow saddles, category L are wide saddles, a number after a letter indicates whether a saddle should have a hole and how big.
