Selle Italia X-BOW Ti 316 Superflow saddle 2024

Inspired by the flexible design of the crossbow, the Selle Italia X-Bow TI 316 Superflow saddle delivers unmatched comfort and adaptability thanks to its unique rail fixing system. Its innovative shell, slightly mobile around the rails, creates a crossbow effect, while the Shock Absorbers dynamically absorb shocks on rough terrain. Fixed to the rearmost part of the saddle, the longer rails offer a wider range of adaptability and the Superflow cut-out relieves pressure on the perineum and ischial bones. Ideal for enduro and eMTB rides on challenging trails.

• Rails TI 316: Titanium 316 increases rail strength by 25% and reduces weight by 15% compared to traditional rails. Diameter: 7 mm.
• Superflow: The Superflow technology drastically reduces pressure on the perineum.
• Shock Absorber: A system of dampers between the shell and the rails drastically reduces shocks and vibrations.
• Neutral Shape: The neutral shape of the saddle provides appropriate support for cyclists favoring an anterior pelvic tilt (dynamic riders) or a posterior tilt (static riders).

Size Selection Information

Meaning of the Letter

• S or L indicates the saddle width, determined by the intertrochanteric distance (distance between the pelvic ischial bones).
• Size S: Narrow distance, for people with a measurement below 120 mm.
• Size L: Wide distance, for people with a measurement above 120 mm.
• If you have already measured your ischial width through a medical exam or bike fitting, you can easily identify your ideal saddle width. If no measurement has been taken, we recommend contacting an idmatch center.

Meaning of the Number

• Numbers 1, 2, and 3 indicate the presence or absence of a hole in the saddle, guided by pelvic rotation/flexibility. Those with excellent pelvic rotation are recommended size 3, while others should opt for size 1.
• 1: Indicates a closed saddle, meaning no hole.
• 2: Indicates a smaller hole called "Flow."
• 3: Indicates the presence of the "Superflow" hole (the largest).
• Stiffer individuals can use sizes 1, 2, or 3, but it is not recommended for flexible individuals to use a saddle without a hole.
