      Comments about Selle Italia SLR Saddle - Men's:

      This saddle has replaced many heavy, over padded, gel-filled, cut-out having, high density foam saddles.
      This one just works. It is light weight and comfortable. It works well on mountain bikes and road bikes.

      The downsides are price, it is expensive (but I think it is worth it), and that it is covered in leather, which probably has a lot to do with the comfort of this saddle, but which doesn't like Seattle rain so much. it is very durable when it is dry, but the leather needs to be dried off after a rainy ride to avoid some stretching.

      Comments about Selle Italia SLR Saddle - Men's:

      I love this saddle. I bought a Novara Trionfo and immediately replaced the stock saddle with a Selle Italia. I've used this brand for years and am never disappointed. It has a nice balance of comfort to weight and is very durable.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Great Saddle!

      By go-outside-now

      from Bellevue, WA

      About Me Avid Cyclist

      Pros

      • Lightweight
      • Reduces leg numbness
      • Very comfortable

      Cons

        Comments about Selle Italia SLR Saddle - Men's:

        If you have the money, buy this saddle. I have been opposed to ridding with a hard narrow saddle for years. For one, I don’t have inner leg numbness anymore. The narrow saddle also helps with the efficiency in my pedaling. Did I mention the thing weighs only 135 grams!!
        Don’t be mislead by gel, wide, or comfort based saddles. If you want comfort get a pair of bibs and this saddle!

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
