Selle Italia SLR 3D Carbon Saddle - Opal White Limited Edition

Selle Italia SLR 3D Carbon – Limited Edition Opal White

The future of cycling has arrived. The SLR 3D Carbon Opal White merges the legendary ergonomics of the SLR range with the latest advancements in 3D printing. This limited edition stands out with its stunning Opal White finish, offering a futuristic look and a lattice (honeycomb) structure designed for elite cyclists who demand the very best in technology.

Carbon DLS™ Technology: 3D Printing at the Service of Power
Thanks to the Carbon DLS™ additive manufacturing process, this saddle features a complex structure impossible to achieve with traditional foams:

• Firm and Dynamic Support: Unlike the standard model, this "Opal White" version benefits from a firmer density setting. This increased stiffness limits energy loss and offers maximum support during intense pedaling phases, allowing you to unleash all your power.
• Differentiated Cushioning: The lattice structure allows for the creation of progressive comfort zones across the entire surface. You get tailored support where pressure is highest while maintaining optimal shock absorption.
• Ultra-Light Architecture: By removing the traditional cover and foam, Selle Italia drastically reduces weight while improving durability and ventilation.

Full Carbon Construction for Competition

• Hi-Tech Carbon Rails: Ultra-light carbon rails guarantee maximum torsional stiffness and direct power transmission to the frame.
• Iconic SLR Shape: It features the SLR's "neutral" profile, favored by professional riders for its versatility and ergonomics, whether in races or over long distances.

• Neutral: Neutral anatomical shape suitable for cyclists with both pelvic anteversion or retroversion.

Sizing Information

Meaning of the letter

• S or L indicates the width of the saddle, and the choice between the two is guided by the intertrochanteric distance (between the sit bones of the pelvis).
• Size S: Narrow distance, for individuals with a value lower than 120 mm.
• Size L: Large distance, for individuals with a value higher than 120 mm.
• If you have already identified your sit bone width during a medical visit or bike fitting, you can easily find the saddle width that suits you best. If you haven't taken any measurements, we recommend contacting an idmatch center.

Meaning of the number

• The numbers 1, 2, and 3 indicate the presence or absence of a hole in the saddle, guided by pelvic rotation/body flexibility. For those with excellent pelvic rotation, size 3 is recommended, while for others, it reduces to size 1.
• 1: Indicates a closed saddle (no hole).
• 2: Indicates a smaller hole called "Flow".
• 3: Indicates the "Superflow" hole (the widest).
• "Stiffer" individuals can use size 1, but also 2 and 3. Conversely, it is not recommended for a flexible person to use a saddle without a hole.
