Selle Italia SP-01 Boost Saddle - Men's

In order to accommodate the rising popularity of shorter saddles, Selle Italia brings a compact shape and a rounded nose to their Special Performance lineup with the SP-01 Boost Saddle. The concept behind compact saddles is to reduce pressure on soft tissue when you're in a more aggressive aero ride position, as well as increasing clearance for your quads and hamstrings while pedaling in this position. They've been popular in time trails and triathlons for years, but have crossed over into more general road use recently as riders who prefer an aggressive position seek to improve comfort on the bike.

The SP-01 Boost combines this compact shape with a futuristic design consisting of an adaptive rear frame that allows independent flexing of the left and right sides of the saddle. The idea behind this design is that the "suspension link movement" effectively supports the movement of your hips to improve comfort as you're spinning, all without compromising your stability during more intense pedaling efforts. Selle Italia pairs this technology with a large center cutout that helps reduce numbness and pain by relieving pressure in the perineal area during long days of racking up miles on the road or trail.

The SP-01 Boost uses Ti 316 rails made from a blend of titanium and stainless steel that provides some shock-absorption over rough terrain while increasing strength and reducing weight compared to traditional rails. The carbon and nylon blend that comprises the shell also helps to keep the weight down while offering a supportive platform for hard pedaling. The saddle is available in two sizes to support a wider range of sit bone widths, and uses a sturdy Fibra-Tek microfiber cover that resists tearing and abrasion for long-term durability.

  • Compact saddle with a unique flex-engineered design
  • Compact shape improves comfort in an aggressive riding position
  • Tail flexes independently to support hip movement while pedaling
  • Ti 316 rails shed weight while increasing durability
  • Large center cutout relieves perineal pressure on long rides
  • Carbon-reinforced shell supports hard pedaling efforts
  • Tough microfiber cover is built to last
  • Item #SEL003U
  • I'm here with massimo from cellar italia. And he's gonna tell us a bit more about some of their new saddles this year we present two important sellers the first one is the spc r1 is a new we say the. New year of the design because in this case we have a saddle with a flow system. Just go on the back and not on the one. The front as the other set off for sale italia our laboratory study allowed to. Have this saddle coming from the automotive designer so it's very cool in. Terms of style design very high in terms. Of material and technology and it's. Helped the rider to have two different kinds of comfort the first one is thanks to the super flow system sorry just to be clear the same price system is the kind of the cutout on the in the middle of the saddle besides the rider to spread out. All the pressure you can have on the perineal area the other comfort is the. Movement that the two wings out the. Rider to feel more comfortable even if. The body is a agnes a helping by the. Shape of the saddle moving a little. But when the rider's pedal it's now. Moved on something a bit different because this has got the cuts out down the front yeah exactly this is the novice booster it's coming from the novice and run super floor it's perfect. For the rider that want to have a performing product in a comfortable. Product that the comfortable elements are the double padding coming from. The back up to the nose and even the nose has the padding t in the front so. Even if the rider say on the front of. The saddle it feels very it feels a good sensation. And then there is the super flow cut out. And as for the especially one and the. Other shadows its absolute right to don't feel so much pressure on the perineal area and its helps rather to. Think about only about riding pedaling. And not about any possible pain or. Critical elements and you feel like more of your customers are buying the saddles with cutouts now. Most of the riders now is moving from. The classical settle without the cutout. Or a field shape to this kind of cell so. A big cut out that is the rider to feel. More comfortable in this case we create a compact product with this kind of. Elements if you move forward you feel. The two elements of comfort but you can. Push very hard on the pedal this is the. Right shadow for the amateur rider for. The gran fondo rider that i want to have a very good comfortable performing. Product we give the possibility to all. The customer to find the right saddle in.

Permit us to have a fix at the shoes on. Our workstation we choose the. Characteristical cleat, and we use the goniometer that have the same shape of the glitter. We put on the system and we can regulate. The distance to have the good fitting to. Individuate the right position we use. These instruments to measure the characteristic of food length width and. The position of the head of the first. Metatarsal these measurements we can put. In a web app that each customer can. Download the system inside have an. Algorithm that calculate the right. Distance from the internal heel of the. Shoes to the point on the axis of the. Pedal we replicated this distance. This scale we can put the right position. Cleat in terms of distance and rotation. Inside or outside for the road. Shoes is possible to determine a the. Inside or outside position of the click. Under this shows so the algorithm is. Likely going to make sure that you can get the perfect click position on any show you with any clay yes absolutely. Nice jess

    Fi'zi:k Aliante 00 Versus Evo Saddle - Men's

    An informal survey here at the Competitive office finds the Fi'zi:k Aliante saddle as one of the favorite platforms. Those looking for a little more pressure relief without resorting to a full cutout and seek its lightest weight chassis will gravitate to its Aliante 00 Versus Evo Saddle. Coming in at a claimed weight of almost 26g lighter than the Aliante R1 Versus Evo, this is the one to have if you seek comfort and chase grams. The saddle's stiff, high modulus full carbon shell and Mobius carbon rails ensure no watts are wasted, yet offers a comfortable ride over bumpy roads.

    The saddle's body uses its Versus Evo construction, which provides the benefit of a pressure relieving center channel for the soft tissue, keeping you pedaling comfortably for hours at a time, while the full carbon shell is tuned for maximum power transfer. Two sizes cater specifically to your body stature and power output on the road. Since it's shell is made entirely from carbon, the 00's Versus Evo saves some weight over the R1, which features carbon injected nylon.

    In Fi'zi:k's Spine Concept estimation of cyclists-as-animals, the Aliante is designed for bulls. Bulls have a relatively rigid spine and tend to rotate their pelvises forward when they ride, an adjustment that requires a saddle with a larger, deeper pocket. That said, this saddle shape has gained a versatile following, and we know many cyclists who can touch their foreheads to their knees while stretching but still prefer the Aliante.

    The 00 also saves weight by using rails made in a Mobius carbon fiber closed loop design instead of the typical Kium alloy. The rails deliver better weight distribution and eliminate pressure hotspots on the ischial bones. The whole thing is capped off with a cover that's applied over the padding with a vacuum process that enables for a more progressive cushioning, while the surface texture provides additional grip for a more secure interface with the bib shorts.

  • Fi'zi:k's lightweight saddle with Versus technology
  • Versus channel relieves pressure on soft tissue
  • Mobius carbon closed loop rail offers balanced weight distribution 

  • Full carbon shell is stiff and supportive
  • Vacuum applied texturized cover offers progressive cushioning and added grip
  • Comfortable waved profile for riders with lower flexibility
  • Designed for riders who fall into Fizik's Bull classification
  • Choose between Regular and Large widths

    Ergon SM3 Pro Carbon Saddle - Men's

    Typically, mountain bike saddles are either designed for gravity abuse or they're road saddles with an added abrasion resistance. So, when Ergon decided to enter the off-road saddle market, it focused on the demands of endurance racers. Ergon knew that this sub-genre of mountain biking necessitates both schools of saddle design, and accordingly, would lead to the most well-rounded saddle. The result of this research is Ergon's SM3 line of saddles, and its top offering, the SM3 Pro Carbon Saddle. Ergon knew if it could perfect a saddle for those who spend the most time on one, it'd have mass market appeal. So, a defining feature was born -- the SM3 Pro Carbon is made available in three sizes, as proper fit is a significant factor for long-term comfort when miles start stacking.

    Ergon's first products were handlebar grips that gained a quick cult following because of their support and ability to reduce fatigue. Using the same benchmark design principle, Ergon designed the SM3 saddles from the ground up. To start with, the ultra-thin carbon fiber shell used an extensive finite element method analysis to map loads and areas of stress. This gave the saddle its distinctive shape, but more importantly, it allowed Ergon to tune the shell construction for optimized deflection.

    The shell is actually 3D, and it features 'hollows' that provide controlled flex at the sit bones. Covering the shell are progressive dampening layers that are individual to the different saddle widths. Every size option gets its own layering for rider-specific compression. Adding to the SM3's trail smoothing ability, is a nose mounted micro damper.

    This damper, located in between the shell and carbon fiber rails, filters out smaller vibrations, and works in conjunction with the isolated rear mounting to allow the shell to float independent of the rails. The result is one of the most forgiving saddles on the market. The rails provide 30mm of adjustment for proper fitting on your mountain bike.

    The SM3 also has an easy-to-clean synthetic leather cover -- just wipe it off with a damp rag. But, more important than saddle hygiene is its silicone side coating. This reduces chafing, always a good thing, and it also ensures that riders can quickly shift weight fore or aft to enhance body English for optimum traction or line choice.

    Ergon is a proud German company, yet instead of manufacturing the saddles itself, Ergon enlisted the help of the saddle perfectionists at Selle Italia. As a result, every SM3 is manufactured in Italy by expert craftsmen. To size yourself for an Ergon SM3 Pro Carbon Saddle, you'll need to measure the distance between your sit bones. Widths between 9-11cm should ride a Small, 11-13cm a medium and 13-15cm should opt for a Large.

  • A featherweight saddle for long endurance rides
  • Carbon rails and shell reduce weight and elevate stiffness
  • Available in three sizes to accommodate everyone
  • Synthetic leather cover is easy to clean and durable
  • Micro-damper between rails reduces trail vibrations
  • Flex-optimized carbon helps deflect jarring trail conditions

  • Today let's talk about the brook saddle. And how has it been after a couple thousand miles. Picking a saddle for your bike is probably a more difficult decision than even picking the bike itself it's where you spend the majority of your time when you're on the bike you're sitting in the saddle and an uncomfortable saddle makes. For an uncomfortable tour and an uncomfortable ride it doesn't make you happy so when you're looking at saddles. There aren't either many people who go touring that haven't considered a brook saddle lots of people talk about them some. People love them some people hate them that's much the case with every saddle that's out there so what are my thoughts after a couple thousand miles I'm a fan. Of the brooks i think it's a great saddle it's been very comfortable for me. Did take about 500 miles before these. Sit bone locations kind of came into play hopefully you can see those right in here and here i did buy the proof I'd. That you get from brooks so listen let's. Talk about that just real quick here's the proof I'd write stuff right here. This stuff — brooks sells there's what. It looks like kind of looks like vaseline i don't know what's in it. Let me put the lid back on it here I'm. Not sure what's in it but it's what brooks recommend on their saddles and. If you're gonna spend the kind of money. A brooks saddle costs why wouldn't you buy the product they recommend putting on it so i put that on there everybody's. Got their own theory about how often for the first couple of weeks i would put it on there about once a week both top and bottom underside now i only do it about. I don't know probably once every three. Or four months the other question that i. Get a lot of times is what do you do about in the weather well if I'm biking in its weather i don't really worry much. About it if I'm honest there are a lot of folks who do cover that you know have the cover that goes over their saddle if it's raining but i. Don't spend a lot of time out in the rain and riding if you do perhaps. And you're on a tour and you're concerned by the cover i have heard of guys who take a shower cap and put over. Their seat while they're driving like if it's on the back of your car or in the back of your truck personally i just marked my seat posts with a white paint. Pen and then take this just take the. While seat off and throw it in the trunk it's not a big deal the way i don't have to worry about it so overall am i happy yeah I'm happy i. Don't have any major pain other than the. Normal pain you're gonna have because you don't often ride enough and no seats. Gonna stop that issue it's its still. Stiff but it has just enough give to. Take a little bit of the bounce out i did make some minor adjustments i am just a little bit above level and i. Found that to be more comfortable for me i also am a fan of the imperial with the. Slit here in the middle i think it's a. Little less painful in my experience i haven't had to make any adjustments here or anything and some people say well. Don't the rivets hurt no can't even tell. They're there it's been a great saddle i think you should give it a shot if you haven't i think you would find that you. Might enjoy a brooks saddle and that you. Now it's just becomes comfortable over time and this is a saddle that if you take care of it truly can last you a lifetime so there's a link in the. Description for the brooks saddle that i bought appreciate all the subscribers. And the views and the folks who watch the videos i hope you'll consider giving. It a thumbs up subscribe if you haven't. Folks talk to you again soon. Oh. You.
