Whether you're competing in an event or riding with your local club, this sleek road saddle is engineered for performance. It features a hard-wearing soft-tek cover construction, which allows it to handle the increased pressure from intense racing. Selle Italia has also equipped it with manganese rails, which means that you'll enjoy its stable hold to your seatpost, without any unnecessary weight. One final highlight is its central flow channel, which relieves and soothes your sit bones on longer distance road bike journeys. This makes it ideal for going the extra mile.
One of the lightest in the brand's range, this seat features padding with differentiated-thickness, meaning there is additional padding in key areas and less in others to reduce the overall weight. Also, the 10% carbon composite shell of the Selle Italia Flite 1990 saddle helps to optimise your pedalling effort and provide efficient support.
Whether you're competing in an event or riding with your local club, this saddle is engineered for top performance. It features a hard-wearing Fibra-Tek cover construction, which makes it more capable of handling all the intensity that comes with road racing. Selle Italia has also equipped this race-ready saddle with robust alloy rails, which means that you'll benefit from its incredible strength on the roughest of rides. This makes it a perfect choice of upgrade for road cyclists who want a durable saddle for taking on every challenge. The most iconic saddle of Selle Italia, the SLR, which for years has been the reference point in terms of style, performance, comfort and lightness and which has supported great champions such as Alberto Contador and Alessandro Ballan, is renewed in an evolution capable of overcoming the most advanced frontiers in terms of lightness and performance. Created with the aim of consolidating its purebred racing myth with the SLR Boost, Selle Italia further reduces the length and weight of a product that has made its history. An extraordinary unicum. With this in mind, the new SLR Boost is the lightest short saddle currently on the market and, with a compact and attractive line, reinforces the image of a model that represents the top in terms of technology and performance. A refined aesthetic, which combines with unparalleled comfort, thanks to its compact structure, the slight rise on the back and the micro-perforated cover that help to easily find and maintain the ideal sitting position, ensuring proper support of the ischial bones and preventing any problems from crushing. As if that were not enough, the SLR Boost has a redesigned tip that allows you to further increase the comfort in the thrust phase and to take full advantage of the features of the saddle. Moreover, the adjustments become easier, thanks to a glossy black line applied to the lower part of the body that indicates the position of the BRP (Biomechanical Reference Point), the point where the saddle reaches the width of 70 mm and from which to measure the parameters useful for the right positioning. Technologies: INNOVATIVE LINE The SLR Boost presents an innovative line that, thanks to the slight rise on the back and the micro-perforated cover, allows the cyclist to benefit from greater comfort and better seating. BIOMECHANICAL REFERENCE POINT SLR Boost features a glossy black line applied to the lower part of the bodywork which indicates the position of the BRP (Biomechanical Reference Point). The BRP is the point where the seat’s width is 70 mm and from which we measure the useful parameters for the right positioning. NEW TIP SHAPE AND VISIBLE SHELL The SLR Boost has an even more accentuated front exhaust that allows you to further increase the comfort during the thrust and to make the most of the characteristics of the saddle.

The pinnacle of road cycling has always been the climb – climbing a mountain gracefully, beating your competition up the slope. The mountains are where cycling legends are formed. Max Leonard goes in-depth to explore this obsessional relationship. He asks why road cyclists have turned Europe’s mountains into the Colosseum of the cycling world. He explores the pilgrimages that amateur cyclists have created of these high, remote roads and what they see and feel when they do. Higher Calling explores the central place of mountains in the folklore of road cycling. Leonard beautifully combines adventure and travel writing with the narrative of pro racing – taking readers from the battles that created the Alpine roads in the first place, to the shepherds tending their flocks on the peaks, to a Grand Tour climax on the highest road in Europe. Through this journey, Leonard brings together stories of courage and sacrifice, war and love, and obsession.
