The new Flite Boost range by Selle Italia includes two models designed for mountain bike and gravel enthusiasts: the Flite Boost X-Cross Superflow and Flite Boost Gravel Superflow.
Both saddles come with the company’s Shock Absorber system. This fits between the body and rail, and absorbs vibrations caused by pedalling on rough terrain. Selle Italia adds that it features a TI316 rail and Fibra-Tek covering, for resistance and durability.
The Flite saddle has been part of Selle Italia’s history for 30 years. It was relaunched in 2020 as Flite Boost.
Flite Boost X-Cross Superflow
The Flite Boost X-Cross Superflow is a short and compact shaped model designed for mountain biking and all off-road disciplines. It has side inserts in SuperFabric to protect the saddle from any knocks and abrasions, and a shock absorption system between the body and rail.
Featuring a central Superflow cut-out for comfort and to distribute pressure in the perineal area, the saddle also has a TI316 rail. The shell is made with carbon composite and nylon, and the covering is in grey Fibra-Tek, a technical microfibre. It is available in two idmatch sizes: S3 weighing 204g and L3 weighing 208g. Recommended retail price: €214.90 / £204.90
Flite Boost Gravel Superflow
Dedicated to gravel fans, the Gravel Superflow has a ‘classic flat shape that guarantees utmost freedom of movement in the saddle and Shock Absorbers between the body and rail, which eliminate vibrations caused by pedalling on rough terrain.’
Featuring a central Superflow cut-out and TI316 rail, the saddle is covered in Fibra-Tek with a light layer of gel inside the padding. Available in two idmatch sizes, S3 weighing 228g and L3 weighing 232g, the Gravel Superflow saddle comes with a grey cover featuring details in aqua green. Recommended retail price: € 214.90 – £ 204.90
