Selle Italia ST 5 Flow

The Flow cutout is an anatomic channel that runs through the center of the saddle. It is designed to relieve pressure on the perineal area, which helps prevent numbness and discomfort during longer rides.

Yes, it is designed for comfort. The combination of gel padding and the anatomic cutout makes it a solid choice for endurance riding, though saddle comfort is highly personal and depends on your specific sit-bone width.

Selle Italia uses the 'idmatch' system to categorize saddles. The S2 size is generally for riders with narrower sit bones, while the L2 is for those with wider sit bones. If you have been professionally fitted, choose the size that matches your idmatch category.

Yes, the saddle features integrated high-visibility reflective elements at the rear. While they do not replace the need for active bike lights, they significantly increase your profile to drivers approaching from behind in low-light conditions.

FeC alloy rails are made from carbon-iron steel. They are heavier than premium titanium or carbon rails, but they offer excellent durability and vibration damping, making them a reliable, cost-effective choice for daily riding.

The Soft-Tek polyurethane cover is specifically engineered for durability and weather resistance. It is designed to withstand the wear and tear of daily use while maintaining its shape and comfort over time.
