The Selle Italia X-LR Saddle is engineered for the off pavement excursions, with design features that will benefit those who are trail riding, gravel grinding, or cross racing. The nose is sloped forward for greater freedom in the saddle, and the softer tip provides comfort even while grinding uphill. The shock absorbing double density padding dampens rough terrain feedback for comfort at speed. Abrasion bumpers help shield your saddle from impact damage and debris scrapes and scratches. Handmade in Italy with a focus on uncompromising performance, extraordinary efficiency, and alluring design.
