Review on 🚴 Selle Italia X1 X-Cross Saddle: A Revolutionary Blend of Comfort and Performance by Omar Svagera

Revainrating 5 out of 5

More comfortable than my $160 custom seat

series) with this $35 seat because it is more comfortable and the aerodynamic effect is about the same. To give you more information, I'm a non-professional road cyclist who does about 10-20 miles a day. I want a seat that gives me comfort and speed (ie aerodynamic, light weight). I don't wear quilted pants. This seat has a medium strength gel cushion. The softness of its cushion is better than a road bike seat (it feels like sitting on a thin paper cushion over a wooden chair), but not as soft as a fitness bike seat. Overall I really like this seat after using it. this applies to every day in the last 14 months. I found it to be a very good value as the performance (impact of aerodynamics and weight) is about the same as my $160 road bike seat (I measure it using the average speed of multiple rides). However, this seat offers more comfort and definitely brings me more joy. Don't forget to visit the Selle Italia website to get your ID match number. This is ID Match S2. Keep in mind that this seat works best when you're not wearing padded pants. Otherwise it will be too soft and you will not feel comfortable. If you wear padded pants, choose a more professional, firmer (less padded) fit.

Pros
  • STRONG AND LIGHT. Our mountain bike saddle is made of the technical material Duro-Tek, which guarantees a strong and durable service life at a very low weight.
Cons
  • -
