When it comes to made-in-Italy products, cyclists have come to expect three things: heritage, innovation and style. And perhaps no company encapsulates this better than legendary saddle brand Selle Italia.
With more than 120 years in the saddle making game, Selle Italia has the heritage aspect in spades.
With its unique ability to utilise new technology – whether in the form of carbon rails, comfort-enhancing Superflow cut-outs or innovative Carbon DLS 3D-printing (about which, more later) – innovation is more than covered.
And now, with all-new, all-white colourways, theses already elegant products have just raised the style stakes even further.
So let’s look at the full Selle Italia White Range to see how you can make your bike look a little more sophisticated, and feel even better to ride.
Buy now: Selle Italia SLR Boost 3D Kit Carbonio Superflow White – £409.99
We begin with what Selle Italia calls “the stand-out version of the collection”: the White Range’s SLR Boost 3D.
The SLR range had long been one of the most popular high-performance choices in Selle Italia’s catalogue, but in 2022 the company decided to enhance the SLR’s well-established reputation with a technological breakthrough: a 3D-printed cover.
The SLR Boost 3D White utilises Carbon DLS Technology to create a 3D-printed cover with a system of complex proprietary lattice patterns that adapt to the iconic shape of the SLR Boost with differentiated areas of support, creating progressive cushioning over the entire surface of the saddle.
Add in carbon rails, a total weight of 166g for the S3 model or 171g for the L3 version, and Selle Italia’s Superflow comfort cut-out that effectively reduces pressure on the pelvic area, and you’ve got an all-new saddle that performs as spotlessly as it looks.
Technical Specs
- Weight: 166g (S3) / 171g (L3)
- Dimensions: 130 x 248mm (S3) / 145 x 248mm (L3)
Selle Italia Novus Boost Evo Kit Carbonio Superflow White – £254.99
The SLR Boost 3D might be the flagship model, but the more affordable Novus Boost Evo White is certainly no second-best.
Completely redesigned from the ground up, this advanced saddle is super light – at just 165g, the Novus Boost Evo White is the lightest saddle in the entire Novus collection; adjustable; and ultra comfortable thanks to its wave profile.
In fact, that comfort is possibly the Novus Boost Evo White’s strongest point. The evolved design supports the rider’s ischial bones on long rides. The Superflow cut-out reduces pressure on the perineum. And the short nose improves pedalling ergonomics, manoeuvrability, comfort and performance.
Finished with carbon rails and Fibra-Tek material, this is a premium industry-leading saddle.
Technical Specs
- Weight: 165g (L3)
- Dimensions: 145 x 245mm (L3)
Selle Italia Flite Boost Kit Carbonio Superflow White – £289.99
If the Novus Boost Evo White specialises in being an easy-to-live with long ride companion, the Flite Boost White is your choice for all out-out speed.
With a focus on high performance, the Flite Boost White is compact and the perfect base from which to put any amount of power through your bike. The iconic flat seat and short, aerodynamic style being the perfect platform to provide stability.
None of this comes at the expense of comfort, though. The classic Flite shape has been transformed by modern technologies, such as the Superflow cut-out, allowing you to power on with pleasure.
The Flite Boost Superflow White is finished with extra-long carbon rails to allow for more adjustability, and the Fibra-Tek microfibre cover ensures a durable lifetime of use.
Technical Specs
- Weight: 157g (S3) / 162g (L3)
- Dimensions: 135 x 250mm (S3) / 145 x 250mm (L3)
Selle Italia SLR Boost Kit Carbonio Superflow White – £289.99
Finally, a saddle that incorporates almost all of Selle Italia’s innovative design and production, yet comes in lightest on the weight scales: the SLR Boost Superflow White.
At just 122g for the S3 size model, the SLR Boost Superflow White is the lightest saddle in its class. But that impressive stat doesn’t mean it foregoes performance and comfort: the neutral saddle shape supports the rider’s ischial bones during long rides, while the Superflow central cut-out is a perineum pressure-relieving blessing.
Add in premium carbon rails with 10mm of extra length for optimum fit, and you find the SLR Boost Superflow White sits in a sweet spot of weight, performance, and comfort.
Technical Specs
- Weight: 122g (S3) / 129g (L3)
- Dimensions: 130 x 248mm (S3) / 145 x 248mm (L3)

So basically… some of their saddles are now available in white?
Amazingly, I have two white
Amazingly, I have two white Flite saddles in my cabinet in the garage. I have never succeeded in using either of them for various reasons – the rails don’t match the seat post hardware, I have had access to red Flite saddles, the LBS owner gave me a Flite saddle out of his personal stash that was a better match for the paint on my latest bike, etc. They are probably over 15 years old by now!
