Bicycle Saddle Selle Italia Novus Boost Evo Gravel TM Superflow L — Large cutout, 242 g, Black

Selle Italia Novus Boost Evo Gravel TM Superflow L is a road and gravel saddle designed for long rides and mixed-surface cycling. With a large Superflow central cutout to reduce perineal pressure, this saddle weighs approximately 242 g and features a black finish. Its shape and cushioning are tuned to provide support for endurance positions and to enhance ventilation during long-distance and off-road efforts.

Advantages

The large central Superflow cutout relieves pressure in the perineal area, helping to reduce numbness and discomfort on extended rides. The saddle's ergonomic profile supports a more stable pelvic position while allowing freedom of movement for pedaling on varied terrain. At around 242 g, the Novus Boost Evo Gravel TM Superflow L offers a balance between comfort and weight suitable for gravel and endurance bikes.

Suitable for

• Gravel riding and mixed-surface touring
• Endurance road cycling and long-distance rides
• All-road or drop-bar bikes where comfort and pressure relief are priorities
• Cyclists who prefer a larger saddle platform with a central cutout

When it may not be suitable

This saddle may not suit riders who need a very narrow, race-oriented profile focused solely on minimal contact area and maximum sprinting performance. Riders with a preference for heavily padded, wide comfort saddles for casual city use might find the profile firmer than expected.

Key specifications

• Type: Road / Gravel saddle
• Cutout: Large central Superflow pressure-relief channel
• Weight: Approximately 242 g
• Color: Black
• Size/Platform: Large (L) — larger contact area for support
• Use case: Endurance, gravel, all-road

How to use

Install the saddle using compatible rails and a correctly sized seatpost clamp, ensuring the saddle is level or slightly tilted according to personal comfort. Adjust fore-aft position to align knee-over-pedal spindle and fine-tune saddle height for efficient leg extension. Use short test rides to confirm position; small adjustments in tilt and fore-aft location can significantly affect comfort and pressure distribution.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the large (L) platform matches your sit bone width and riding posture
• Confirm rail compatibility with your seatpost clamp type and material
• Consider whether a central cutout is preferable for your comfort needs
• Assess whether the saddle's firmness and profile suit your typical riding style (gravel/endurance vs. casual city use)

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair the Novus Boost Evo Gravel TM Superflow L with a correctly fitted bike setup: check saddle height, setback and handlebar position, and perform incremental adjustments during a series of progressively longer rides to find the optimal position for pressure relief and pedaling efficiency.
