Selle Italia Flite Gel Flow TI Men’s Bicycle Saddle (Titanium Rails, Red)

Our Rating:        

User Rating:      

The Selle Italia Flite saddle is one of the legends in the high performance bicycle saddle world and this super cool red leather titanium example typifies the quality and racing heritage that Selle Italia has made Selle Italia famous. The Selle Italia Flite was one of the very first of the lightweight racing type saddles adapted for every day use by the general public.

The Selle Italia Flite would be an ideal choice for the performance oriented rider seeking a lightweight, comfortable saddle that will allow all day riding AND be considered high performance. You should note that it only comes in one width (130 mm) however so depending on your sit bones it may or may not be the saddle for you. If you are unclear on how wide your sit bones are then it is very easy, check out how to select the right bicycle seat before making a purchase.

If you are looking for a stylish yet timeless classic that will provide both a lightweight AND comfortable ride then the Selle Italia should fit the bill nicely. My only caution is to make sure you are built for a 130 mm wide seat. If your sit bones aren't happy, then YOU won't be happy. Believe it.

Great Saddle

I ordered this saddle to replace the lower end Selle Italia that came with my bike. This is a "gel" saddle, but not at all squishy or overly soft. It has the firmness necessary for a road saddle, but very comfortable right out of the box. The cut out is placed just right to relieve numbness on longer rides. The craftsmanship and materials all seem to be high quality. I liked it so much, I ordered a second one to upgrade my other bike.

I bought this to replace the factory saddle on my Trek. It took a couple of rides to get used to, but the saddle is now transparent to me when I ride. I think it's a good pick, but I also have not ridden Fizik. I like the fact that the Selle Italia has a cutout, which is a dealbreaker for me on the Fizik line. It also looks sharp and is light, but these are secondary considerations for a saddle in my opinion.
