The Selle Italia SLR Boost TM Superflow saddle is a modern take on the classic SLR design. It features 7mm Manganese tubing, a massive pressure relief cutout in the center, and a shortened length.
All of these factors combine to equal a saddle that is compliant, comfortable, and perfectly suited to competitive racing, and all-day endurance rides.
Top it off with a reasonable price tag, two different widths, and light weight, and you've got a saddle that'll take you to the finish line.

I see why it's such a popular saddle ' incredibly comfortable. First of all, the center cut-out is a game changer. I was experience numbness on my old Fizik saddle (though it wasn't always that way; the problem developed this season), so going to the cut-out saddle IMMEDIATELY solved this. ZERO numbness. Why didn't I switch sooner?
Aside from that, it's surprisingly well suited to endurance riding despite the minimal padding. It took about 50 miles to break in, but since then I don't even feel the thing. Perhaps after the 60 miles mark on my rides I start becoming "aware" of the contact points on the saddle, but it's minimal. Still, for being such a short and compact shape, I find a surprising amount of positions on it. As advertised, you can really ride comfortably on the nose of this thing and put the power down.
Highly recommended. Just get it.
FYI: I have 110mm sit bones and bout the S3 (130mm wide) version. I've put 200 miles on this saddle now, with the longest single ride being 65 miles. It's mounted to a Canyon Endurace CF SL.
The Selle Italia SLR Boost Superflow is an amazing saddle. The center cut-out is perfectly designed. It is a tad bit shorter in length than most saddles, and it completely makes sense. When transferring from a super-tuck, or a standing position and back onto the saddle. The shorter nose prevents the rear/crotch area of my cycling shorts from getting caught up on the nose. I initially thought I was the only one that noticed this until I had a conversation with someone else that loved their identical model of saddle. I love my saddle and wouldn't use a different model. If I could guarantee that you would also, I would tell you to purchase this saddle with confidence - it is fantastic.
After riding my Specialized Power and Phenom saddles for the last 8 or so years, I decided to give this Selle Italia model a try. To my surprise it is fantastic so far. Hits my sit bones (145 mm) perfectly. I was cramping on the sitbones on the Specialized, but so far ,after a couple of hundred miles or so, so good. Sure hope it lasts.
This saddle fits great and has just the right amount of padding. The massive cutout works extremely well, especially if you are dealing with pain or numbness down below. In addition, the cutout runs almost up to the nose of saddle, helping to remain comfortable even in an aggressive position.
