Selle Italia SLR Kit Carbonio

I've tested many saddles and the SLR Kit Carbonio is hands-down my favorite. This is my third purchase of the SLR saddle, replaced for cosmetic reason only. For 2011, first and foremost is the attractiveness of the new slimmer design, the center topside perforations and new race-look graphics add to the beauty of the saddle. The new slimmer design reduces inner thigh friction and eliminates chaffing of my expensive bib shorts. The saddle is surprisingly very comfortable due to the carbon composite shell and flexible carbon rails. (My seat post is also full carbon which further enhances the comfort). The Lorica material is durable and slippery permitting effortless repositioning of the sit bones for comfort during longer rides. I prefer the classy look of the white saddle. For the gram fanatics, expect the actual weight to be in the upper range of the marketed 115g, -8%, mine weighed in at 125g.
