Specifically designed for the off-road universe, the Selle Italia X-LR S Saddle is the result of relentless product research, fueled by joint contributions of athletics, designers, and other sector experts. Starting with its shape, the X-LR distinguishes itself with the specific slant of its nose, which slopes forward and makes for greater freedom in the saddle out on the trail. Selle Italia built a shock-absorber into the composite-laminated TI 316 rails to do away with harsh chatter and vibrations coming up from the trail's surface, which is further muted by the cushy double-density padding. A softer tip makes for an expanded range of motion and enhanced comfort on uphill rides, while the high-density rear stabilizes you during the fast-paced pedaling that usually comes along with climbing. The Fibra-Tek cover delivers comfort and support for years to come, all without adding significant weight to your kit. Reinforced edges help protect the side of the saddle cover against impacts, while SuperFlow technology reduces the physical limitations caused by prolonged pressure to the perineal area, especially over long distances.
