Description
Colnago and Selle Italia have partnered over the years to provide Colnago badged versions of many fine Italian-made saddles from the famous saddle-maker. You can show your Colnago love with the badged SLR Flow. This classic SLR with an open Flow center zone greatly appeals to cyclists that just can't take pressure in the center, but still want a minimalist saddle with a narrow width. The same innovation that brought the SLR delivered the SLR Flow.
Start with a minimal thought process. Add new technologies and materials. Throw in some Italian style. Okay, it was more formal than that, but the ingredients were there. A carbon composite shell, stiffer in the front and more ability to flex and break-in at the rear. Hollow titanium rails. A microfiber cover called Fibra-Tek that wears like leather but is water resistant and features perforated rows to reduce heat and friction. Minimal thickness, high-density padding, with extra around the Flow opening. Sub 170 gram weight with a traditional 275mm length, but just a 131mm total width. Sleek, stylish, supportive, and built to complement and finish off complete bikes that challenge the UCI's weight limit. .
A few notes about the fit and feel of the SLR Flow. First, it generally favors sub 175lb riders with relatively narrow sit bone width. Second, it is not flat, but slightly curved, and as the rear shell breaks in, it conforms to your bone structure.The Flow channel adds comfort if central zone saddle numbness is normally an issue for you. Heavier riders will break it in all too quickly. Remember, the SLR platform was designed for pro cyclists first and foremost. But if you prefer a narrower, lightweight cut-out saddle with minimal design, you have to consider the SLR Flow.
