Selle Italia SLR XC 3D Carbon Saddle: BLACK S3

The Selle Italia SLR XC 3D Carbon is the flagship saddle in the SLR XC range, developed for high-level cross-country racing where efficient power transfer, impact management and freedom of movement are essential. Its proprietary surface pattern and internal lattice were developed entirely in-house, allowing the cushioning response to be precisely adjusted across different areas of the saddle.

The XC-specific profile supports aggressive climbing positions while making it easier to move off the saddle and return after technical sections. Its carefully contoured rear also provides the clearance required by modern full-suspension mountain bikes when the dropper post is fully lowered.

Features

• Carbon DLS 3D-printed padding provides differentiated cushioning zones across the saddle
• High-impact areas offer increased absorption, while pedalling zones remain firm and responsive
• Reinforced 3D-printed edges combine impact protection with a smooth, low-friction surface
• Wider, lower nose supports power delivery and freedom of movement on steep climbs
• Tapered rear design enables fast, snag-free transitions back into the seated position
• Superflow central cut-out helps reduce pressure around the perineal area
• Advanced carbon rail construction combines low weight, stiffness and resistance
• Revised rail angle improves the absorption of vibration transmitted through the bike
• Neutral anatomical shape supports riders with anterior or posterior pelvic rotation
• Rear profile is shaped to maximise tyre clearance on full-suspension MTBs
