Features

  • RoyalGel™ durable padding technology absorbs pressure and distributes it across the saddle surface, offering comfort and support for even your longest rides
  • Royal Vacuum patented technology allows the saddle to be 100% sealed and substantially waterproof—even in heavy, wet weather
  • Cool Cover composition reflects sunlight to keep your saddle 25°C cooler than a standard black saddle, so you can leave your bike in the sun without thinking twice
  • An anatomically designed cutout allows air to flow through the saddle, ensuring a nonsweaty, breezy feeling and reduced pressure in the perineal area
  • Elastomers absorb even the most severe shocks without making a sound
  • Scuff guards on the sides increase resistance to impacts and abrasions, allowing you to lean your bike against anything in total freedom
  • The integrated clip system at the rear makes it easy to attach a Selle Royal saddle bag or other accessories (not included)

Selle Royal Respiro Saddle - the best so far

8 months ago

I bought this saddle a couple of months ago in an effort to try to find a more comfortable and stable saddle for my hard-tail mountain bike. This saddle was exceptionally stable, comfortable and with just enough flex to soften small road and trail bumps for that bike and made riding it much more fun. I was so happy with it that I am buying a second one for my road bike, which I tried out and found exceptional for that purpose even though I've had a pretty good Selle Royal saddle for about 7-8 years on my road bike. This one is better being slightly broader, more stable and the padding seems to be perfect fit to my seat (butt) bones. I can recommend that it's at least worth a try to see if it fits you as well.

At age 83 I fainally decided to replace my competition style saddle with something more comfortable and endurance orientated. This saddle does exactly what I hoped it would.

Quiet and Comfortable

4 months ago

I bought this saddle because it was most similar in size and shape to my previous saddle which was creaking and getting noisier as I rode, and it was no longer available to buy. After a few rides, the Selle Royal Respiro Athletic has become just as comfortable as my old saddle, and it is quiet. This was a good buy. I will likely buy another one for my other bike.

Quiet Seat

Good comfortable seat, not overly expensive and doesn't make a creaking sound like the seat I replaced with this one.

You can put one on your bike and try it and if it isn't perfect; you can take it back and try another model !

Comfortable

Much more comfortable than the stock saddle that came with my mountain bike. It’s a bit heavy but worth it.
