Year in, year out the SLR Gel Flow stands as one of our top-selling saddles. It blends the minimalism of the SLR family with the added comfort of a strategically-padded, pressure-relief cut out. With the SLR Teknologika Flow, Selle Italia pushes the minimalistic envelope while trying to maintain as much of the Gel Flow's comfort as possible.

At 120g, the Teknologika Flow saves a whopping 95g over the Gel Flow. This comes primarily in two ways: (1) The fully braided-carbon shell is substantially lighter than the 30% carbon composite shell you get with the SLR Gel Flow. The thin carbon structure doesn't surrender toughness (Selle Italia says the Teknologika is off-road approved) or comfort (its braided construction gives it body-conforming flexibility). (2) Its braided, long-fiber carbon rails offer additional meaningful weight savings.

The full-grain "Nabuk" leather cover is coarsely textured by design to prevent you from slipping on the saddle. Like the standard SLR, it measures 131mm wide and 275mm long. At 120g it's the lightest Selle Italia saddle we sell. But this lightness doesn't come at the expense of comfort. Cyclingnews.com gave it a rating of 4.5 "Yellow Jerseys" and said "…the well-shaped carbon shell provides even better long-term sit bone support than softer alternatives and Selle Italia's 'Trans Am' cutout maintained feeling to my privates. In addition, the EVA padding provides just enough squish to keep you from feeling like you've been sitting on a park bench all day…" Available in Black only.
