Selle Italia Selle Italia S 5 Superflow Saddle, Black/Hi-Viz

This is a nice saddle, and it is very comfortable. The affordable price makes it even better. My sit-bone spacing is about 120 mm, and this 160 mm saddle fits me perfectly. The padding is thick enough to alleviate the sit-bone pain I had been getting with my previous saddle, but thin enough to prevent tissue rubbing issues.

I retired my racing/road saddle. It was also a Selle Italia and still looks new after 10,000 miles. However I needed some cushion under my butt that my racing saddle wasn’t providing. I decided to give this S5 saddle a try. After only three rides I’m loving it. This S5 has 3 times the cushioning as my Selle Italia SLR Boost TM Superflow. This S5 is a great value and the comfort is amazing compared to the racing saddle. My concern is whether or not the gel padding will continue to offer such amazing cushioning. I’ll update this post in 3-6 months.*UPDATE* 2 Weeks after purchase. Saddle is still quite amazing. Minimal to none testicle, butt, internal numbness. 👍🏻

This seat is so comfortable, I still cannot believe it. I’m so glad I got it. It took 2 weeks to arrive, but now I can honestly say it was well worth it. Not too expensive but my butt is thanking me for it on those long rides. Don’t even hesitate to buy this. I got the narrower one and I’m a big guy and it’s perfect for my butt bones. Yahooo

Great saddle if you want to go for a ride without having to put on padded cycling shorts / bibs.

Exactly as advertised. Will take me a while to get used to it, but much, much better than the stock seat that came stock with my e-trike.

Great product for its price. Comfortable and easy to install.

I got the 255 x 160mm size saddle to replace a giant ''Cloud 9'' one with dual springs. I tried another saddle with a 2 tongued form w the gap in the middle thinking that would be good (and it cost 4 times this one). I can't believe how better this one is! I did add a good gel saddle cover to it and that helped a lot because, well, it does not have lots of cushion...but the design to stop all pressure up the center is perfect as that is the area to protect and moves the weight and vibration to the actual seat of the butt (not in the center if you know what I mean). The gel cushion made it quite perfect for regular riding and long distances and keeps it all light and streamlined. I got the Bontrager gel cover to go with it and it is really great!

Seems like it would be a comfortable seat, although I am uncertain it is authentic as it came in an unbranded plastic bag. It has also clearly been used, as evidenced by the attempt to cover the rail scratches with permanent marker, the scuff on the padding, and the chip in the rear plastic. I understand the need to test fit a seat, but this one has clearly been ridden, returned and resold as new.
