Understanding saddle sizes
Selle Italia currently offers 6 variants divided into two size types: S1, S2, S3 – L1, L2, L3 and 4 additional FF (Friction Free) versions.
Size characteristics:
- S saddles are narrow with a sitting point width of 131-136 mm
- L saddles are wider with a sitting point width of 145-150 mm
- FF (Friction Free) saddles have a tapered nose to minimise thigh chafing
- 1 means no hole is present for riders with low pelvic rotation
- 2 means a medium sized hole is present for riders with average pelvic rotation
- 3 means a large hole is present for riders with high pelvic rotation
If you are local to a Hargroves Cycles store we can use the idmatch Smart Caliper which allows us to understand, according to the measurements taken, whether the cyclist needs a traditional or Friction Free saddle, available in: S1 FF, S2 FF, L1 FF, L2 FF.
Summary:
- S1 – Narrow sitting width and low pelvic rotation
- S2 – Narrow sitting width and average pelvic rotation (Flow saddles)
- S3 – Narrow sitting width and high pelvic rotation (Flow and SuperFlow saddles)
- L1 – Wide sitting width and low pelvic rotation
- L2 – Wide sitting width and average pelvic rotation (Flow saddles)
- L3 – Wide sitting width and high pelvic rotation (Flow and SuperFlow saddles)
- S1 FF, S2 FF, L1 FF, L2 FF – Same as above with a tapered nose to minimise chafing
