The successful Selle Italia Flite was a harbinger for the SLR saddle. Remaining on the cutting edge of performance road saddle, the Selle Italia SLR saddle also became an instant success when it was introduced in 2000. As manufacturing processes, synthetic lightweight materials, and an overall understanding of cycling ergonomics have improved over the years, so has the Selle Italia SLR Saddle.
The Selle Italia Max SLR Gel Flow saddle brings additional comfort technology to the ever-popular SLR saddle. The top is wrapped in a durable Lorica cover and the shell is reinforced carbon composite technology, making the Selle Italia Max SLR Gel Flow saddle comfortable, lightweight, and long-lasting. With Ti 316 Tube rails and Shock Absorber Technology, the Selle Italia Max SLR Gel Flow saddle will help relief pressure on long, bumpy rides. Measuring in at 145mm wide with extra comfort padding and an anatomical gel flow cut-out, the Selle Italia Max SLR Gel Flow saddle seamlessly blends modern comfort technologies with classic good looks.

Happy gap.
The Flow part of the Selle Italia SLR Max Gel Flow Saddle is its most distinctive feature and will probably be its key selling point. If you want a saddle whose anatomic cutout alleviates pressure where you don't want it, then here you go. No one in the game does it as well or as dramatically as Selle Italia.
A bit of grippy material runs down the middle portions that remain in order to keep you from sliding about during long, in-the-saddle grinds. Gel padding keeps the contact with your sit bones soft but not bouncy. The shell's 10% carbon construction is stiff enough to support well, but elastomer inserts between the rails mean this won't translate to undo road noise coming up through your seatpost.
The Selle Italia SLR Max Gel Flow Saddle is available in the colors Black and White.
