My 3rd Selle Italia SLR saddle. I started on the standard Superflow S3 saddle and found it comfortable on my carbon road bike. I opted to get the SLR Boost Edurance Superflow S3 Saddle for my second bike as I was doing much longer days in the saddle. I recently completed the Rebellion Way on a 3rd bike and decided that swapping saddles and setting positions would be too much faff so looked at buying a second SLR Boost Edurance Superflow S3 Saddle. They are not cheap and my eye was drawn to the SLR Boost Gravel Superflow S3 Saddle as it was on offer and the SLR Boost X-Cross Superflow S3 Saddle as it was on an even better offer. I contacted Selle Italia and they informed me that there was no difference between the Gravel and the X-Cross, apart from the scuff resistant material on the outer edges of the saddle. I'm pleased to say that the X-Cross is a great saddle. It felt quite firm initially, but was as comfortable as my Endurance model after a couple of days. As good as the Endurance model, but cheaper. What's not to like?
Product Details
##Selle Italia SLR Boost X-Cross Superflow Saddle
This is a first for Selle Italia, the SLR Boost X-Cross Superflow Saddle is a mountain bike short saddle. Known for their heritage in all things road saddle related, the brand has gathered those who know about the adrenaline flow of riding off-road, to design the SLR Boost X-Cross Superflow. Off-road riding can be particularly tough on the body, thus the need for a shock-absorber between the frame and the body that offers cushioning from the harsh vibrations experienced off-road. The saddle is covered with Fibra-Tek providing all-weather resistance. There is further protection with special SuperFabric inserts on the sides that help to protect it against scratches.
The saddle is available in two widths - 130mm or 145mm - and uses TI 316 rails with a diameter of 7mm helping to keep it secure. It's light and features a Superflow cut-out for pressure relief benefitting those riders with high pelvic rotation.
