SELLE ITALIA WATT SUPERFLOW Saddle Carbon Rails

Specially designed for triathlon use, the Selle Italia Watt Superflow saddle is innovative and developed in collaboration with double IRONMAN® world champion Patrick Lange and the professionals of the BMC-Vifit Triathlon team.

The result of years of study by the Selle Italia Research and Development department, the Watt meets the demands of the most demanding triathletes and guarantees an increase in pedalling power, greater comfort and a seating position designed to maximise performance.

The name is inspired by the unit of measurement for power, a fundamental element for all athletes, but the new Selle Italia Watt saddle goes beyond that. It is a saddle that allows triathletes to achieve a more efficient pedal stroke, thanks also to a high-performance and extremely comfortable seating position — three fundamental parameters for triathletes.

A saddle characterised by a revisited shape, with carbon rails to achieve the best performance. The central "Superflow" cut-out reduces pressure in the central zone and provides greater comfort when pedalling during your ride. The structure of the Watt saddle features a rail that is 10 millimetres longer than traditional saddles, allowing more precise adjustment of the time trial position.

On the recommendation of the professional athletes who collaborated in the development of the Watt saddle, and in order to guarantee seating stability and allow greater efficiency in the pedal stroke, the nose of the Watt has been widened to 50 millimetres and the saddle cover features a High Grip material insert with an anti-slip function.

The ideal seating point, where the saddle measures 133 mm in width, has been further set back to facilitate the curvature of the saddle and increase comfort during the push phase. A rubber insert (Rack Rubber Insert) has also been applied to the underside of the nose, which coincides with the point where the bike rests on the racks in the transition zone. It makes the support secure and protects the saddle from impact. Finally, it weighs just 200 grams.
