Selle Italia SLR TM Boost Superflow

I've put 200 miles on this saddle now, with the longest single ride being 65 miles. It's incredibly comfortable and I see why it's such a popular saddle. First of all, the center cut-out is a game changer. I was experience numbness on my old saddle (though it wasn't always that way; the problem developed this season), so going to the cut-out sadle IMMEDIATELY solved this. ZERO numbness.The saddle has very little padding, but it's surprisingly well suited to endurance riding (I have it mounted on my Canyon Endurace CF SL). It took about 50 miles to break in, but since then I don't even feel the thing. Perhaps after the 60 miles mark on my rides I start becoming "aware" of the contact points on the saddle, but it's minimal.. and that's pretty normal for any saddle after awhile. Still, for being such a short and compact shape, I find a surprising amount of positions on it. As advertsized, you can really ride comfortably on the nose of this thing and put the power down.Highly recommended. Just get it.FYI: I have 110mm sit bones and bout the S3 (130mm wide) version. Perfect fit.

Road saddles are tricky to buy online. This is the 5th one I’ve purchased and while not ideal, it’s a very good saddle. I’m 6’-1” with 33” waist, 170 lbs and I’m in my early 60s. I had a Fizik saddle I rode on for 10 yrs. Loved the fit, but wanted one with an open channel to reduce nerve compression. (As you get older nerve compression from cycling can reduce sensation of your other leg!). To me, this saddle is a little short as I’d prefer 1” or 1.5” longer with an extended open channel. Selle has some longer models so may eventually try one. I had a hard time finding a seat to fit curvature of my butt/bones. Tried 2 ISM saddles and loved their open channels and pronged open front, but the 2 that I tried were too flat on top which caused the rounded edges sloping downward to be uncomfortable. The Selle Italia saddles are classic curvature for road cycling and there are different models to pick from. This was the 3rd one I tried from Selle and it fits me best for road cycling. Sleek comfortable contour and lightweight with adequate padding. Texture of surface is a bit grippy - would be better with a faux leather or something that allows more sliding, but then again, this saddle has slight curvature to it’s shape so you are fit into it; for some riders this might limit how much you can move to the back. On long climbs , for example, this might be an issue for some riders that like to sit back on the saddle going up a long grade. I compensated for the lack of length but lowering the front by 2 or 3 degrees and on 25 mile ride today had no discomfort or compression of soft tissue. It’s a tighter fitting saddle than I’m used to but seems to work very well and open channel does seem to relieve my never compression issue. For most road cyclists this is probably a very good choice so long as it fits your body.

Really like this saddle. Quality is great and fit allows me to stay in saddle for hours. Value for the money is great.

Great seat, the cut out is perfect but the way the seat curves down means that the edge of the cutout is angles up which in turn happens to rub me wrong and I developed a saddle sore in that spot. Just the way the saddle interacts with my body and the chamois on my bib. Otherwise this is a saddle that I sat on and instantly thought wow this is comfortable and I felt no discomfort on 1 hr rides. But most of my rides are long so it did not work out

Comfy on the bum

I really wanted to like this saddle as there are so many reviews but after an hour on the bike, it's not working for my bum. Looks great and has the quality sticker but unfortunately not for me.When returning, the expectation was for the product to be in new condition. So what I did was wrap the mounting brackets to prevent them from being scratched. Looked brand new when I returned it and hopefully someone else can enjoy it at a discount.Still a great saddle but unfortunately not for me.

Very small. I weigh 152lbs and have a 30 inch waist and it fits me fine. I replaced a Prologo seat because I wanted a cut out. I keep reading articles about bike seats and prostrate issues. It took me about a week to adjust. I like the seat and would buy it again.Like I stated, the seat is small and is intended to be used by a small frame rider.

I received my saddle yesterday and quickly threw it on my Zwift bike for a ride (outdoor bike is in the shop getting a tune up a the moment). My first impressions were "Whoa....this saddle is short." I think this is my third Selle saddle and I was replacing a stock saddle on the bike I keep set up into my zwift - a giant defy 3.It is most definitely an aggressive saddle. It's super lite but wide and sturdy where I'd expect. My sit bones nestle perfectly into the seat.Particularly when I am riding inside, I find myself shifting forward and backward at the end of my 60-90 minute rides. That is not an option here because there is no room to go forward (too short). This is not a criticism or a bad thing at all, but worth mentioning if you're a "wiggler" like I am. You should expect to be relatively static in your position. I'm excited to put this on my "full time" outdoor bike because its a big upgrade to the much cheaper Selle I have on it now. I would love to get this professionally set up and in the perfect position for my body type / ride style.Overall, after one 60 minute ride, I think it was a good purchase. I look forward to spending a lot more hours in this saddle and if anything pops up, I'll come back to notify the community. I don't expect any problems though. I did knock off a star for value but that is not because I have an issue with Selle or this saddle in particular.....I just get annoyed that some of these components cost so much. Cycling sure has fully embraced this consumer driven environment we are in (haha).Cheers!
