Reviews over the

Selle Italia SLR Boost TM Superflow

Bought on the recommendation of my sports physiotherapist after a bikefit. Delivered quickly, tested on a 100km course, and very satisfied. A very good purchase as far as I'm concerned!

Pros & Cons

My previous will was a fizik Argo vento. Then this is something completely different. The shape of this saddle makes a small dimple in the middle where you automatically sit down. It makes sure you always end up in the same position. The wings on the sides slope down sharply, relieving the buttock muscles. The saddle is very nicely finished. Only comment on the flat is the plastic edge on the inside of the cut-out. You can feel this during cycling and it creates an unpleasant pressure point. The saddle is hard, if you come from a soft and comfortable saddle, this does take some time to adjust.

Pros & Cons

Super ergonomic. My previous saddle have a geometrical/flat design and I'll felt its edges in every downstroke. Quite annoying. Selle Italia more organic shapes makes it unnoticeable.

Pros & Cons

A firm product at first glance, but comfortable over time: no numbness or pain on rides of more than 4 hours. That's a big change from my previous saddle (Italia flite max superflow) where after 1 hour my buttocks started to ache. Because of its short length and thickness, it took me 3 rides to correctly adjust the height and tilt. The big plus of the Mantel tool to help you choose a saddle is that they are immediately adapted to your ischial size and riding style. Fairly high price, but reasonable for the amount of time you've been riding.

Decided to try this saddle after hearing the S3 size has a tendency to fit many riders. Have had issues with wider boost style saddles as they have created pressure on my sit bones, but the this narrower model seems to fit my behind well.

Pros & Cons

Perfect comfortable lightweight saddle

Pros & Cons

For me the solution to my saddle problems (pirenium hurt for years)

Pros & Cons

I bought the bike when I bought a new gravel bike and was prone to perineal pain, so I followed the advice on the site and from other users. I didn't ride it much (45-minute ride), but I didn't expect any pain. My bottom will eventually get used to it... Mantel is always top notch for expeditions.

Pros & Cons

I can confirm that the super flow principle works very well: no more numbness with this saddle! The downside is that it hurts the buttocks a bit more (contact points on the pins) but I prefer that ... Another positive point is that the cover is perfect: silky touch and anti-slip but still allows you to move well on the saddle ... I'd recommend it!

The product purchased is very nice and comfortable, arrived on time, I will certainly make other purchases.

Pros & Cons

Bonus: on a visually very technical bike like the Grail, the saddle comes extra stark with its short and angular shape.

Pros & Cons

Saddle tested over a 3-hour ride. You need to get used to it before you can make a better judgement. Be careful to adjust the depth to avoid lower back pain. Easy to fit and adjust. So far, nothing to complain about. Very fast shipping and great customer service (I was in contact with them for another article).

Pros & Cons

This is my first bought Saddle, which I'm still trying out and haven't ridden that much yet. But it is definitely so much better than the saddle that came with my bike. The cut out is big enough to instantly feel relief compared to a saddle without a cut out. The nose is slightly shorter than a normal one, but you don't notice it as much since it's not as short as a real short nosed one. For the fact it's not a carbon saddle it's very light. At first when the saddle arrived I was sceptical about the hardness of the saddle, but after riding a few times you get used to it and realize it's giving great support for longer rides as you don't want a completely soft saddle for that. You're not sliding around on this saddle which is great for people that may move around a little usually so it's easy to find a comfortable position and also stay in it. If you're going into a more aero position it's not pressing on any soft tissue as the cut out is big enough in the front and the material is soft enough in the front. Nothing is hurting or falling asleep so far. Given, you should still wear good padded bike pants with it. With my old saddle I had wrist problems and I could barely endure a ride, but now it doesn't hurt as much anymore and I'm leaning less on my hands. It looks really sleak and also makes every bike look nice and clean. I'm still trying it out but this is definitely a saddle worth trying out since you have a 30-day try out on this website.

Pros & Cons

Fine saddle. Cycled 200 km on it without any problems!

Pros & Cons

Had a number of saddles with frequent problems with the sit bones and especially the attachment of the hamstrings to them. This saddle fits perfectly. Also better than the SLR TM Super Flow I tried. In that, I sat more "on top" of the saddle. The Boost TM Superflow fits much better. The cover material is also different, less slippery so you slide less. Finally a saddle I can sit on for several hours. Great service from Mantel that you can try out, by the way.

Pros & Cons

Meanwhile, done a 5-hour drive... and not even felt "seated" all that time.

Pros & Cons

I've always used SMP Evolution with which I've never had any problems, then when I changed bikes I wanted something aesthetically better. Apart from the aesthetics I found something very comfortable. I wouldn't go back

Pros & Cons

Once set, it's impeccable

Pros & Cons

After first trying 3 other saddles, I ended up with the SLR. Firm, but otherwise feels good. mounting i easy, but you can't play much with the spacing. Durability remains to be seen.

Pros & Cons

Geweldig zadel. Door de juiste maatvoering en de vorm zit ik nu stabiel op de fiets. Ondanks dat het een relatief hard zadel is toch comfortabel.

Pros & Cons

Fine saddle, the cut-out works well, but takes some getting used to as the pressure is more on the sit bones. The shorter nose gives a nice position, especially in the stirrups. I was helped well in Mantel Utrecht's shop and then ordered online. (Give it some thought) Is slightly narrower at the front than the Pro Stealth and I like that better. Assembly simple and without any problems.

Pros & Cons

After testing three saddles, really it is only at Mantel that we can do these tests Thank you ... this suits me 196cm 91 kg I do outings of 5 hours nothing to complain, this is only a fine adjustment after several rides and the trick set played. The saddle is shorter than the other brands, but it's really good enough for extra comfort. Long rides usually leave you with pain and numbness, but here it's gone. Very good saddle
