Saddle SELLE ROYAL SCIENTIA RELAXED R1 SMALL gel with elastomers unisex 90° tilt

The SELLE ROYAL SCIENTIA RELAXED R1 SMALL gel with elastomers unisex 90° tilt is a bicycle saddle engineered for riders who prefer a relaxed riding posture. It combines gel padding with elastomer suspension to deliver cushioning and vibration absorption aimed at short to medium commutes, city rides and leisure cycling. The saddle’s smaller profile and 90° tilt geometry are optimized to reduce pressure in the perineal area while maintaining adequate support for upright positions.

Advantages

This saddle integrates gel inserts and elastomer-based shock absorbers to decrease road and trail vibrations transmitted to the rider. The smaller width offers improved leg clearance and reduced chafing for many riders, while the 90° tilt specification supports a more upright posture, helping distribute weight away from sensitive zones. Materials and shape are selected to provide consistent comfort during frequent short trips and everyday use.

Suitable for

• City commuting and urban cycling
• Leisure rides and short recreational trips
• Riders who prefer an upright or relaxed seating position
• Hybrid and city bicycles with standard saddle rails

Key specifications

• Padding: gel inserts for localized cushioning
• Suspension: elastomer elements for shock absorption
• Fit: small width profile designed for reduced chafing
• Geometry: 90° tilt optimized for relaxed, upright posture
• Gender: unisex design suitable for a wide range of riders

How to use

Install the saddle on a compatible seatpost clamp following the bicycle manufacturer’s instructions. Adjust fore-aft position and tilt to achieve a comfortable balance between support and pressure relief; start with the 90° tilt orientation and fine-tune small angle changes if needed. Ensure saddle rails are securely clamped and that the saddle height allows a slight knee bend at the bottom of the pedal stroke. Regularly check fastenings and inspect elastomers and cover for wear.

Usage recommendations

For best results use this saddle on city, commuter or hybrid bikes for rides up to medium distances. Pair with correct saddle height and moderate padding shorts when riding longer distances. Periodically clean the cover with a damp cloth and avoid high-pressure washers to preserve the elastomer suspension and gel components.
