Saddle shape
This saddle has a flat rear part, making it highly suitable for riders who remain stationary on their saddle while they ride and whose hips don’t rock from side to side at all. The flat shape provides more support than a round saddle would for these riders.

Flexibility
This is a completely flat saddle, providing you with plenty freedom of movement. This shape makes it particularly suitable for riders with a high degree of flexibility in their spine. People with a flexible spine will have no trouble rotating their pelvis, meaning they won’t need any additional support to maintain their optimal riding position.
Cutout
This bike saddle has a cutout, which gives pressure relief for people who easily experience pressure on the behind.

Comfortable riding with this top saddle!
All the trouble I experienced with my previous saddle is completely gone with this saddle. It is very comfortable and looks nice too!

Good saddle
Sits a fine, no more trouble after long rides. Haven't had it very long yet so time will tell how it likes it.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Went from frequent saddle pain in perineum, to none. Highly recommended!
I rode a Stealth Pro saddle before this. I have big thighs and on long rides often rubbed the inside of my thighs (near my private parts) because of the triangular shape of the saddle. Because of the shape of this saddle, my legs have a bit more space along the saddle. And yet I can sit nice and deep due to the wider and short nose. Very comfortable saddle compatible with long rides, even in a deep position. Went from frequent saddle pain, to none. Highly recommended!

The best flat saddle possible!
I have an anteriorly rotated pelvis, which means that the bottom of my spine is very hollow. I tried the SLR but it held me back too much. With the Flite, I'm in a better forward position, no more lower back pain. What's more, I'm able to put a lot more power through the pedals, and that's something I felt straight away. Comfort is optimal, provided you're already used to saddles, but this one isn't hard at all, which takes the pressure off the seat. I decided to go for an S3 size despite being recommended the L3 (145mm), for the simple reason that, unlike the SLR S3 which is 130mm, this one is 135mm, so it suits my 121mm ischials despite being recommended a slightly wider size. The 145mm SLR gave me chafing between the legs, this one doesn't! Not only because of the width I chose, but also because it's more T-shaped than the SLR. Easy to fit by setting the level perfectly horizontal at 75mm (indicated by a discreet mark on the saddle shell). True to Selle Italia design, which makes my bike even more attractive (especially the shorter Boost version). So it only took one ride for me to adopt it! I think I've finally found my saddle...
