Selle Italia FLITE Boost Saddle

The 250mm length encourages a more dynamic riding position, allowing you to shift your weight more easily without the nose of the saddle getting in the way. It is designed to keep you supported while you move between aggressive drops and more upright climbing positions.

Yes, the 7mm tubular manganese alloy rails are chosen for their excellent balance of durability and weight. They are robust enough to handle daily training and rougher road surfaces without the fragility of carbon rails.

The large central cutout is specifically engineered to relieve pressure on the perineal area, which is a common cause of numbness during long efforts. By removing material where you need it most, it helps maintain blood flow and comfort over several hours in the saddle.

The thin gel padding is designed to dampen high-frequency road vibrations rather than provide a 'cushy' feel. It offers a firmer, more supportive ride that prevents the saddle from bottoming out, which is generally preferred by performance-oriented cyclists.

At 135mm wide, this is considered a narrower saddle. If you have wider sit bones or prefer a platform that offers more lateral support, you may find this model too restrictive.
