SLR Gravel Elite Saddle

It introduces the Bow Rail System to the SLR platform for the first time, adding meaningful flex and vibration absorption to the shell and rails. The Protective Insert comes fitted on the saddle and keeps bib shorts dry in wet conditions; remove it at any time when not needed. Reflective reinforced edges add durability and visibility. The SLR Gravel Elite is ready for any terrain.The SLR Gravel Elite brings the versatility gravel demands to the SLR platform without losing any of what makes the SLR exceptional. At its technical core is the X-Bow Rail system, a proven Selle Italia technology now introduced on the SLR family for the first time. By engineering specific compliance into both the shell and the rails, the system significantly reduces vibration transmission from rough and unpaved terrain.Custom shock absorbers tuned specifically for gravel surfaces work in combination with the X-Bow system. Extended padding and a wider nose shared with the SLR Endurance adapt the same comfort upgrades for gravel use. The Protective Insert comes fitted on the saddle, covering the Superflow cutout to keep bib shorts dry in wet conditions. It applies no pressure to the perineal area and can be removed at any time to restore the open cutout and maximise ventilation. Reflective reinforced side edges extend saddle life and increase rider visibility in low-light conditions. Elite-level titanium alloy rails. Made in Italy.
