Saddle Selle Italia X-LR Kit Carbonio Superflow S — carbon/keramic, fibra-tek, 130 g, size S

The Selle Italia X-LR Kit Carbonio Superflow S is a lightweight performance saddle designed for road and mountain cyclists who prioritise low weight and anatomical pressure relief. Featuring a central Superflow cutout, carbon/keramic rails and a fibra-tek cover, this saddle balances stiffness, comfort and minimal mass in a size S profile that suits riders with narrower pelvic geometry.

Advantages

The Superflow cutout reduces pressure on soft tissues and improves ventilation during long efforts. Carbon/keramic rails offer a high strength-to-weight ratio and improved vibration damping compared to standard metal rails. The fibra-tek cover delivers a durable, grippy surface that resists wear while remaining lightweight. At approximately 130 g, the saddle contributes to a lower overall bike weight, making it appropriate for racers and performance-focused cyclists.

Suitable for

• Road racing and time trials where low weight is critical
• Cross-country and marathon mountain biking with emphasis on performance
• Long endurance rides requiring pressure relief and ventilation
• Riders with narrower sit bone width who need a size S profile

Key specifications

• Design: Superflow central cutout for pressure relief
• Rails: carbon with keramic coating for weight reduction and durability
• Cover: fibra-tek synthetic material for grip and abrasion resistance
• Weight: approximately 130 g
• Size: S (small) suitable for narrower pelvic anatomies
• Intended use: road and mountain performance cycling

How to use

Install the saddle using a compatible seatpost clamp and ensure rails are correctly seated and tightened to the seatpost manufacturer's torque specification. Position fore-aft and tilt to achieve neutral pelvis alignment and even pressure distribution across the sit bones. Fine-tune saddle height and setback through short test rides, checking for reduced numbness and consistent pedalling efficiency. Regularly inspect rail attachment points and cover for wear.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair the saddle with a proper bike fit to confirm the size S is suitable for your sit bone width. Use light, periodic cleaning with mild soap and water for the fibra-tek cover; avoid aggressive solvents. When storing or transporting the bike, protect the saddle from sharp impacts to preserve the carbon/keramic rails.
