Reviews over the

Selle Italia SLR Boost TM Superflow

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

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.

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

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

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.
