Selle Italia

Prolink Gel Flow Saddle

Selle Italia tasked themselves with the challenge of making a race bike-quality saddle focused first and foremost on comfort. The result was the Prolink Light Gel Flow. On many of their saddles you might find one or two of Selle Italia's comfort features, but here they've gone for broke and added them all. Sandwiched between a full grain leather cover and a 10% carbon composite shell is differentiated-thickness padding more generous in volume than what you find in the "self-modeling" padding of the Flite. You get a cut-out along the middle of the saddle. This cut out relieves pressure, while gel padding in variable thicknesses surrounds the cut out to ensure that the transition from saddle-to-cut out isn't overly abrupt. Furthermore, it's built with an elastomer suspension system to absorb road shock. In addition, it's one of Selle Italia's widest saddles at 144mm wide, with a length of 277mm.

The Vanox (Vanadium-Titanium) rails are mated to carbon to optimize the balance of shock absorbency, strength, and lightness. Available in Black and White.
