Selle Italia’s rich history stretches all the way back to 1897. It begins in the small village of Corsico, just outside of Milan. There, expert craftspeople began to hand-build leather saddles for everyday bicycles. As the sport of cycling took hold of Italy, Europe and the rest of the world, Selle Italia established as the world’s leading builder of superior-quality sports saddles.
Selle Italia has an uncompromising approach to quality, and won’t cut costs or standards. It’s helped the brand maintain its position at the top of the game.
Over the years, Selle Italia has revolutionised the simple cycle saddle, introducing new innovations that have helped to increase comfort and speed. You might think that there’s very little you can do with the simple saddle, but you’d be wrong…
In 1984, they introduced the first shock-absorber system. In 1991, it introduced the first genuine gel silicone inserts. In 2008, Selle Italia launched OPTIMA, a streamlined triathlon-specific saddle that has an integrated bottle cage. In 2012 it launched its now legendary SLR range of saddles, featuring a pressure relief cut-out. In 2019 it released the compact and super-lightweight SLR Boost, the latest update to the classic SLR model.
Today, Selle Italia has moved beyond the road to produce a range of performance saddles for off-road riders too. Within the Selle Italia range, you’ll find the right saddle for you.
