Aspide Short Carbon FX Saddle

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve used this on faster road rides, and the stiffness really stands out. It transfers power well, and the shape makes it easy to stay comfortable when switching positions."

We rely on the Aspide Short Carbon FX Saddle from Selle San Marco for road setups where weight, efficiency, and rider positioning all matter. Designed as a modern evolution of a classic shape, it delivers a balance of performance-driven support and adaptability for varied riding styles.

Carbon DNA rails use full carbon fiber construction with Dynamic Node Action technology to maintain stiffness and reduce twisting under load, improving power transfer. The carbon-reinforced shell adds structural support, while Biofoam padding provides responsive cushioning without excess bulk. The Open-Fit cutout runs through the center of the saddle to reduce pressure and improve comfort over longer efforts.

The short-profile design increases freedom of movement, allowing riders to shift position easily during climbs, sprints, and sustained efforts. A narrow front reduces interference during pedaling, while the wider rear platform supports sit bones and stabilizes positioning. The Microfeel cover adds durability while maintaining a smooth interface for consistent movement.

We recommend this saddle for road cyclists seeking a lightweight, high-performance option that prioritizes efficient power transfer, pressure relief, and flexibility in riding position across a wide range of efforts.
