Selle Italia
With more than 127 years of saddle making experience, it’s
fair to say that Selle Italia knows a thing or two about making saddles. From
humble origins, the Italian brand started its life in a small village outside
of Milan, producing saddles used on transport-focused bikes. Today the company
is one of the largest makers of saddles in the bike industry. This long heritage
affords the company an unmatched level of expertise from which to draw from. So,
if it’s a saddle to boost performance or comfort when out on two wheels, look
no further than our extensive range. There’s sure to be a saddle to suit your discipline
and, more importantly, contours.
A Saddle For All
Selle Italia’s saddles come in a wide range of designs and
are well suited to several disciplines, from mountain biking to road riding. For
example, the SLR—the brand’s flagship performance model—is a firm saddle intended
for seasoned road racers. But, thanks to the well thought out shape and design,
it’ll still see that you not only perform, but you remain comfortable during
those longer races and rides.
Versions of the brand’s iconic Flite saddle—another of its performance
saddles—have been ridden by champions, such as Marco Pantani, Philippe Gilbert,
and Mathieu Van der Poel. It’s slimline shape ensures it’s easily recognizable
as a saddle for performance, but, again, thanks to the brand’s innovative
approach it remains supportive where it needs to be.
But it’s not all high-performance saddles. Selle Italia caters
to those looking for comfort on those big days too. The Novus range, for
example, offers more padding and cut outs in the shape of the saddle to ease
pressure on sensitive areas. The brand also caters to the off-road market with
a range of cross country, gravel, and cyclocross specific saddles.
A Century In The Making
There are few makers of any product that can claim to have
been perfecting their craft for more than a century, but Selle Italia can do
just that. Whether it’s something too eek out maximal performance for a road
race, or to keep you comfortable on big days off road we stock a massive range
of Selle Italia saddles in a variety of shapes and widths, for both men and
women. Find your perfect saddle at ProBikeKit who are now an approved, premium
