Selle Italia Flite Gel Saddle

Selle Italia Flite Saddle

The Selle Italia Flite is smoking hot, very comfortable and sports legendary Selle Italia quality.

The most recent incarnation of the Selle Italia Flite saddle looks slightly different than the original, but it's much better than the original version, which is what counts. You will be happy to know however that it still offers a very reasonable weight (for you weight weenies) along with a high level of comfort for the rest of us. This has been what made the Selle Italia Flite such a popular saddle for so many years.

The Selle Italia Flite sports a slender body and narrow nose yet provides ample support in the rear to support your sit bones. The shell has just enough flex to provide relief over rougher terrain and still maintain strength and durability. Selle Italia tops it off with a just right layer of silicone gel that will mold the Selle Italia Flite to your posterior and provide an outstanding level of comfort.

We are also HUGE fans of the anatomical cutout as it really does wonders to relieve numbness and tingling in the groin and female riders report a much higher level of comfort typically on saddles with an anatomical cutout as well.

All of this comfort and style suppported by Titanium alloy rails help to keep the weight reasonable and the Selle Italia Flite weighs in at a moderate 240g. It's not a featherweight but in the scheme of things, the extra weight is well worth it in our opinion. If you are looking for a new saddle, give the Selle Italia Flite a try today.
