Selle Italia Flite Boost Gravel Ti 316 Superflow saddle - Brown 2024

The Selle Italia Flite Boost Gravel TI 316 Superflow saddle, presented here in Brown, was developed from the classic Flite road saddle and optimized specifically for gravel riding. Designed to meet the demands of this challenging discipline, it is perfect for adventures off the beaten path. A gel layer absorbs vibrations, while the TI 316 rails and Superflow cut-out reduce pressure on the perineum, ensuring exceptional comfort. Its iconic Flite shape guarantees optimal freedom of movement, and the durable Fibra-Tek finish completes the package.

• Rails Ti 316: Reinforced rails offer up to 25% more resistance and durability and are 15% lighter compared to traditional rails, with a 7 mm diameter.
• Superflow: The Superflow technology drastically reduces pressure on the perineum.
• Flat Shape: Recommended for dynamic cyclists or those with an anteriorly tilted pelvis.
• Carbon: Shell made of high-quality carbon and nylon composite.
• Light Gel: Lightweight gel layer for excellent seating comfort and full vibration absorption, ensuring lightness and performance.
• Shock Absorber: Absorption system between the shell and rail, greatly reducing road shocks and vibrations.

Choosing the Right Size

Understanding the Letters

• S or L indicate the saddle width, guided by the intertrochanteric distance (distance between the ischial bones).
• Size S: Narrow distance, for individuals with a value below 120 mm.
• Size L: Wide distance, for individuals with a value above 120 mm.
• If you have previously measured your ischial width during a bike fitting or medical visit, you can easily find the ideal saddle width. If not, we recommend contacting one of the idmatch centers.

Understanding the Numbers

• Numbers 1, 2, and 3 indicate whether the saddle has a cut-out and guide the choice based on pelvic rotation/flexibility. For those with excellent pelvic rotation, size 3 is recommended, while it reduces to size 1 for others.
• 1: Indicates a closed saddle, meaning no cut-out.
• 2: Indicates a smaller cut-out called “Flow.”
• 3: Indicates the presence of the “Superflow” cut-out (the largest).
• Less flexible individuals can use size 1, but also sizes 2 and 3. Conversely, it is not recommended for flexible individuals to use a saddle without a cut-out.
