Selle Italia FLITE Kit Carbonio Flow (L2) Saddle

Selle Italia Flite Kit Carbonio Flow Saddle 2014

New and improved for 2014, Selle Italia have launched the Flite Kit Carbonio Flow, a light, beautifully crafted and ergonomically adept offering from the Italian saddle specialists. Whether you are using it on road, off road, for a 100-mile epic sportive or for an hour’s blast round the town, the Selle Italia Flite Kit Carbonio Flow will keep you comfortable and add that special finishing touch to your bike.

Selle Italia has produced the Flite since the early 1990’s and is a stable and popular model in the range. Keeping with many of the Flite’s popular features, Selle Italia have brought it into the 21st century, making it lighter, at a featherweight 165 grams, but also concentrated more on the rider and position on the bike now as well.

Weight is kept low with minimal padding, not wasting weight in unnecessary areas and instead placing padding on the vital contact points. A 30% carbon shell keeps the weight down as well as adding a solid, stiff and supportive base for the saddle. Compared to it’s predecessor another 6 grams has been shed from the rails, with the use of a CarboKeramic Tube, dropping the weight to a mere 29 grams. Function is not compromised as the saddle maintains the standard 7x7mm rail dimensions.

Along with all these additions, 3D braided “Telefibre” placement helps to produce a rail that perfectly balances weight with immense strength. All this is packaged up in a LORICA highly durable and abrasion resistant material, easy to clean, soft to touch and wont wear your shorts out.

Wear is further minimised with a ceramic coated clamp area, meaning you can move the saddle into the optimum position with ease and without having to worry about excessive rail wear.

The cleverly developed anatomical cut out relieves pressure on the perineum and instead shifts the weight onto the ischial or seat bones bones. Sitting on your seat bones provides an ideal platform for better power delivery, keeping the rider in the optimum position and also provides an all day comfort, without those numb and tingling sensations experienced with less anatomically designed saddles.

With 145x275mm measurements this is an ideal saddle for riders with wide seat bones and a medium range of rotation in the pelvis.

This saddle is available in a striking black colour, with trademark Selle Italia logos, attractive white side panels and an embroidered “K” hinting at the saddles Kit Carbonio roots.
