Selle Italia has a rich cycling heritage and is one of a very select few companies that can say they have been making bicycle seats spanning 3 centuries. Steeped in tradition and known for manufacturing extremely high quality bicycle seats, you can take comfort that a Selle Italia will be a very high quality bicycle seat.

One of the more popular women specific seat is the Selle Italia Lady. For the longest time women were stuck with trying to adapt a seat designed to fit a man's anatomy to their own, and this simply is not optimal for comfort. The male and female geometry is quite different and the seats, while they appear very similar, are designed quite differently as well. If you are looking for a bicycle seat for women, then the Selle Italia Lady is one you should strongly consider.

Some of the features of the Selle Italia Lady women's specific seat include, an anatomically specific cutout designed to reduce pressure on the sensitive soft tissue areas, differentiated thickness padding across the seat top designed to match the female anatomy, female specific seat shell and a durable Nylon N6 shell that will look great and keep the costs reasonable.

Females tend to have wider sit bones than males and a female specific bicycle seat will accomodate this anatomical need very well. A poorly designed bicycle seat can turn your recreational ride from a very pleasant and invigorating experience into one of excruciating pain and in some cases even more severe medical problems down the road.

This is the seat that my own wife chose after going through almost a dozen other seats, the Selle Italia Lady in black is what adorns her Bianchi 928 Carbon. It's available in black or white, measures 262mm L x 160mm W and weighs in at 280 grams. An extremely nice seat.

MSRP is approximately 149 dollars...so compare below and see how much you can save on your Selle Italia Lady bicycle seat purchase. Happy Riding.

I am a senior lady bicycling enthusiast, and I have not
found a comfortable saddle. It seems men are designing
the seat, without input from women. A wider seat is
important, but it doesn’t resolve all the pressure problems.
I need a seat that is open at the front, and allows FREEDOM FOR THE VAGINAL LIPS TO FALL AWAY FROM PRESSURE. A small
groove is not enough to resolve this problem. The seat needs
to be wider than for a man, and also OPEN AT THE FRONT. Without it being open at the front, it creates too much
pressure. Dropping the seat down in the front creates other
problems I won’t deal with. The seat needs to be made correctly in the first place.

I am 5′ 9″ tall and I weigh 160 lbs.

When you reply to my inquiry, please state in the subject
bar: women’s bicycle saddle – or something obvious – so I
don’t delete your reply.

Thank you

I am a 24 year old girl, 160 cm long and not too heavy I believe this saddle is very nice, except from the problem Mary spoke about. A hole in the back of the saddle doesn’t do much, but a wider hole in the front makes a whole lot better! When a woman’s sitting o a racing bicycle, she will lean forward… So why is the saddle designed with a narrow hole in the back/middle of it? WHY NOT IN THE FRONT?

I actually have this seat and find it to be WONDERFUL. Its cushiony without being too soft, and firm without being too hard. The cutout also seems to help as I have never had “burn” caused by this seat as I have with others. I definitely recommend this seat. Try it. You won’t be sorry.
