Extraordinary efficiency, peerless performance and an alluring design. The new frontier of the Selle Italia off-road universe bears the name X-LR. Specifically designed for off-road use and the outcome of relentless product research.
The X-LR stands out for the specific slant of its nose which slopes forward and makes for greater freedom in the saddle whilst riding. The shock absorber built into the composite-laminated carbon-fibre rail is a piece of state-of-the-art technology set to start a revolution. It does away with all vibrations coming up from the trail surface. This special technology borrows its features from the F1 world.

Double-density padding design with a soft nose section that makes for greater ease of movement and higher comfort levels even whilst riding uphill the high-density rear provides all the stability you need whilst pedalling. Last but not least, the innovative anti-abrasion bumpers will give you peerless protection if you come off your bike.

With a purpose-built structure featuring a downward-facing tip, it has been expertly engineered to ensure a good saddle position regardless of pedalling stance. This makes it the ultimate choice for mountain biking. It has a 4% reduction in length and width compared to a traditional saddle and this delivers exceptional ease of movement - something of the utmost importance for off road adventures. The clever combination of top-of-the-line materials means it is highly resistant to knocks, bumps and vibrations due to road impact.
The XL-R Handmade is available in a Fill & Flow version. The shell is Nylon12 and Carbon fibre, making for superlative performance standards and wonderful weightlessness: 130 grams - this is as lightweight as it gets.

Sizing

Selle Italia saddle sizes are characterized by a letter and a number, combining to offer 6 different options plus a one-size-fits-all triathlon size (U3).

The Letters

S or L indicate the width of the saddle, and what guides the choice between the two is the intertrochanteric distance (between the ischial bones of the pelvis).

Size S: narrow distance, for people with a value below 120mm

Size L: wide distance, for people with a value above 120mm

The numbers

1, 2, and 3 indicate the presence or absence of a hole in the saddle, and what guides the choice is the rotation of the pelvis/flexibility of your body. For those who have excellent pelvis rotation, size 3 is recommended, while for others, it scales down to size 1.

1: indicates a closed saddle, meaning the absence of a hole.

2: indicates the presence of a smaller hole called "Flow."

3: indicates the presence of the hole called "Superflow" (the widest one).
