XSILITE RAILS: It is a material with a high percentage of silicon with particles of titanium and carbon. Light and strong, it turns out to be resistant to all weather conditions. The process through the stealth technology ensures a better strength against fatigue stress.

CARBON FIBRE REINFORCED SHELL: Nylon with high properties, enriched with a high proportion of long carbon fibre, in order to reinforce the characteristics of rigidity, stiffness and durability without compromising the weight.

BIOFOAM: Biodynamic structure that follows the movements of the pelvis during pedalling, guarantees comfort, reduced weight, lasting resistance and ideal support. The “closed cells” surface ensures water is repelled from the padding.

MICROFEEL COVER: Breathable and hard wearing cover. It is lighter than traditional materials and less deformable. Anti-skid effect with an extraordinary grip on the saddle. Biocompatible material.

NEW ERGONOMY: The perfect balance between the support and relief zone. The ""big hole"" helps maintain comfort under pressure and offers day long support and comfort. The central relief zone is long enough to work in all riding positions.

Sizing

Selle San Marco 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).
