The new frontier of the Selle Italia MTB saddle bears the name XLR

 

 

 

Extraordinary efficiency, peerless performance & an alluring design. The new frontier of the Selle-Italia MTB saddle bears the name XLR. The XLR has been specifically designed for the off-road universe. It is the outcome of relentless product research, improved even further by the joint contributions of athletes, designers and other sector experts.

 

 

 

SHAPE

The XLR stands out for the specific slant of its nose which slopes forward and makes for greater freedom in the saddle whilst riding. The shock absorber built into the composite-laminated carbon-fibre rail is a piece of state-of-the-art technology set to start a revolution. It does away with all vibrations coming up from the road surface. This special technology borrows its features from the F1 world. It is better on the inside too with the double-density padding that gives it a defined structure: a softer tip makes for greater ease of movement and better comfort levels even on an uphill ride; on the other hand, the highdensity rear provides all the stability you need whilst pedalling. Last but not least, the innovative antiabrasion bumpers will give you peerless protection if you come off your bike. The durability of this material has been increased of 93% more than a standard one

 

 

 

FEATURES

ERGONOMICS: with a purpose-built structure featuring a downward-facing tip, it has been expertly engineered to ensure a good saddle position regardless of pedalling stance. This makes it the ultimate choice for mountainbiking. It has a 4% reduction in length and width as compared to a traditional saddle and this delivers exceptional ease of movement – something of the utmost importance for off-road adventures.

DURABILITY: the clever combination of top-of-the-line materials means it is highly resistant to knocks, bumps and vibrations due to road impact. The usage of cutting-edge know-how such as exclusive Air-Cross technology means that the saddle will well stand the test of time.

DESIGN: Ground-breaking and charismatic: an ebullient streak that displays all the seductive spirit of the sportscar world reworked into a lithe saddle which can handle all off-road challenges.

The line includes:
