Selle Italia SLR Carbon Saddle - Opal White Limited Edition 2026

Selle Italia SLR Carbon – Limited Edition Opal White

The icon of performance is now available in an exclusive finish. The SLR Carbon Opal White combines the legendary silhouette that made Selle Italia famous with a unique textured Opal White finish. It is the saddle of choice for cyclists looking to save every gram without sacrificing the elegance of their build.

The SLR Heritage: Lightness and Stiffness

• The SLR range has been the global benchmark for professional peloton riders for decades. This Carbon version pushes the concept to the limit:
• Carbon Rails: High-performance carbon rails with a ceramic insert to protect the clamping area. They offer exceptional stiffness and absorption of road micro-vibrations.
• 100% Carbon Shell: The base of the saddle is entirely made of carbon composite, ensuring it won't sag over time and will transmit every watt to your crankset.
• Featherweight: A minimalist design that keeps weight at a record low, ideal for "climber" style builds.

Premium Opal White Finish

• Fibra-Tek Cover: An ultra-resistant technical microfiber that ensures great longevity while being easy to clean.
• Exclusive Aesthetics: The Opal White finish brings a bright, futuristic touch to your bike. Unlike classic white, it features subtle reflections that change with the light.
• Neutral Ergonomics: Its shape is designed to provide stable support and great freedom of movement, adapting to most pelvic anatomies.

Technologies

• Carbon Powered: Shell made of carbon composite and high-quality nylon polymer for maximum stiffness.
• Neutral Shape: Anatomical shape offering adapted support for both cyclists with anterior pelvic rotation (dynamic) and those with posterior rotation (static).
• Handmade Lightweight Pad: Premium artisanal cover combining style and support, with targeted padding to minimize unnecessary weight.

Sizing Information

Meaning of the letter

• S or L indicate the width of the saddle. This choice is guided by your intertrochanteric distance (sit bone spacing).
• Size S: Narrow distance (less than 120 mm).
• Size L: Wide distance (greater than 120 mm).
• If in doubt about your measurements, we recommend visiting a specialized idmatch center.
    - NB: It is also possible to identify your sit bone width during a medical visit or a bike fitting.

Meaning of the number

• The numbers 1, 2, and 3 indicate the presence or absence of a hole in the saddle, guided by pelvic rotation/body flexibility. For those with excellent pelvic rotation, size 3 is recommended, while for others, it reduces to size 1.
    - 1: Solid saddle (no hole)
    - 2: Medium-sized hole (Flow)
    - 3: Large hole (Superflow), recommended for cyclists with significant pelvic rotation
• "Stiffer" individuals can use size 1, but also 2 and 3. Conversely, it is not recommended for a flexible person to use a saddle without a hole.
