Aspide Short Racing Saddle

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve used this on both training rides and faster efforts, and it holds up well across both. The rails feel solid, and the shape makes it easy to stay comfortable while riding hard."

We rely on the Aspide Short Racing from Selle San Marco for road setups where performance, weight, and durability all matter. Designed as a modern update to a classic silhouette, it delivers a refined balance of support and efficiency for varied riding intensities.

Xsilite rails use hollow stainless steel construction to reduce weight while maintaining high strength and fatigue resistance, making them suitable for repeated high-effort riding. The carbon fiber reinforced shell provides structural support, while Biofoam padding offers responsive cushioning without excess softness. The Open-Fit cutout runs through the center to reduce pressure and improve comfort over extended efforts.

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

We recommend this saddle for road cyclists seeking a lightweight, durable option that delivers efficient power transfer, pressure relief, and adaptability across both training rides and high-intensity efforts.
