Selle Italia S5 Superflow Saddle

Sportive, ergonomic, comfy: The S 5 Superflow saddle by Selle Italia promotes an active cycling posture and stands out for high comfort. It’s the perfect, casual saddle for zippy city and sports bikes. Thanks to a short, contoured design, the saddle intuitively promotes a correct riding posture, while preventing physically demanding changes of position. The extra-large Superflow relief channel takes pressure off the sensitive perineal area when riding in an active cycling posture. Therefore, it is especially suitable for riders with high pelvic rotation and low spine flexibility. A generously sized gel pad makes sure you’ll feel comfortable on the S5 while pushing the pedals hard.

The idmatch system for Selle Italia saddles:

The letter S or L indicates the width of the saddle. The decisive factor here is the distance between your ischial tuberosities:
Choose size S if you have an ischial tuberosity of less than 120 mm.
Choose size L if you have an ischial tuberosity of more than 120 mm.

If you do not yet know your ischial tuberosity distance, you can measure it yourself using a piece of corrugated cardboard, a pencil and a tape measure, for example.

The numbers 1, 2 and 3 indicate the size and presence of a cut-out in the saddle and are based on the individual pelvic rotation. A possible reference point: If you are able to rotate your pelvis far forwards on the bike and can therefore comfortably bring your upper body into a low position, this indicates high flexibility and you should consider size 3. If you have medium or low flexibility, you should therefore choose size 2 or 1.

1: Closed saddle without cut-out – Suitable for low pelvic rotation.
2: Saddle with small cut-out called "Flow" – Suitable for medium pelvic rotation.
3: Saddle with large cut-out called "Superflow" – Suitable for strong pelvic rotation.
