Good saddle

- Gerard, 27 July, 2025

Went from frequent saddle pain in perineum, to none. Highly recommended!

- Tom, 15 July, 2025

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!

Pros & Cons

Comfortable in deep stance and long distances
Space for upper legs
Wide and short nose

The best flat saddle possible!

- Giuliano, 23 April, 2025

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...

Good fit, but causes damage to cycling shorts

- Chiel, 23 November, 2024

Bought saddle for a second bike after being very satisfied with the TI variant. Only notice that the synthetic leather on the TM variant sticks out a little less over the plastic shell which has an edge causing damage to the stitching of the bike shorts. The TI version does not have this.

Pros & Cons

Comfortable saddle
Harder than TI variant
Sharp edge

Flat, nice quality saddle, but not for me.

- Antonio, 5 November, 2024

The saddle is very well finished and beautiful. Compared to others it is a little higher measured from the rails (to be taken into account when replacing it with another one on the bike). The weight is contained, although slightly heavier than the similarly finished Selle Italia SLR Boost Superflow. It has holes to screw in a light or radar adapter. It is completely flat and that makes it easy to move forward/backward along the route. I installed it with a 1 degree tilt (tip down), but I still felt discomfort in the perineal area in several 3 h rides I did (it has already happened to me with other saddles, so I have to keep looking for it). For this reason I decided to return it, taking advantage of Mantel's saddle return policy, which allows you to return it after testing.

The perfect saddle for me

- Henrik, 8 March, 2024

I have tried a lot of saddles, but have found that the Selle Italia with superflow is the saddle for me. I now have three different ones. One for each bike. They are lightweight, good fit and the superflow ensures that the perineum is not pressurised.

Not for me

- Jonas, 18 November, 2023

Good looking and light saddle (230g). Unfortunately not for me, got a fairly narrow stance and the sharp unprotected edges cause damage to my bib shorts. Going back to the Fizik arione

Good looking
Light
Sharp edges causing damage to bib shorts

Fantastic product

- Alexander, 26 October, 2022

This is my second Selle Italia Flite super boost saddle - it is the best saddle I’ve tried to date. More comfortable than the widely popular Specialized Power saddle, which this one replaced on my gravel bike.

Pros & Cons

Fits well
Quality construction and materials
A bit expensive compared to similar models

Pretty much perfect

- Rob, 27 June, 2022

The saddle is very well made. It feels great to ride. Only negative is that I crashed on my first trip out with it and scuffed it. Mantel delivery was very quick and there saddle return policy is excellent. Really sets then apart from other bike retailers.

Pros & Cons

Great fit
Well made
None!

As soon as I got into the saddle for the first time, my buttocks were immediately won over. Very good seat, excellent support despite the (many) holes in our Belgian roads and no discomfort during a ride of more than 3 hours.

quality, comfort/price = super good

- JAVIER, 4 November, 2021

I took a saddle a little more comfortable due to the superflow technology because my old saddle was basic on this pint and it hurt. frankly with this saddle I can ride for hours and I have no pain or discomfort. I am fully satisfied.

A top saddle, as you know it from Selle Italia. Comfortable even over long distances. Thanks to the online ID match option, you can check out which one suits you less. You can test it extensively with the 30-day satisfaction guarantee.

For purists

- Patrick, 25 September, 2020

With a seat bone distance of 100 mm, this saddle width of 135 mm is ideal. If you put a 100mm ribbon on the seat, you will see that the saddle pad is not completely flat. There is a curvature and in such a way that the seat bones do not rock on the edges. Compared to the Pro Stealth 142mm, the Selle Italia delivers better freedom of movement of adductor thighs. No friction.

Pros & Cons

Adjustment
Freedom of movement
Not too hard
No fixing possibilities
Weight manganese rail
