Selle San Marco Shortfit 2.0 3D Racing Saddle: Black/Black

Product Information

printed cover with dedicated and proprietary pattern featuring differentiated cushioning zones that provide helping you conquer the steepest of climbs and fastest descents. The differentiated cushioning zones give Selle Italia says the furthest component in the 100% made-in-Italy supply chain comes from just 12km away from their HQ. The very first time I got on the Specialized 3D printed saddle, I was in love. I wasn't necessarily in love with the shape but using 3D printing for the padding absolutely changes what is possible. The ability to vary the structure of the matrix very precisely allows a brand to tune softness vs stiffness in a way that's impossible with traditional foam. What you get, at least from Specialized, is a saddle that's much softer than you'd expect from a serious performance saddle.

The semi-custom fit process starts with IDmatch’s Footmeter which measures overall foot length, length between the bones in your feet, and a pressure map that defines how high your arch is in reality. Selle San Marco says, "The SHORTFIT saddle was created to meet the needs of the most demanding cyclists who, for certain types of training sessions or rides, rotate their bust a lot moving to a position close to the handlebars. The special ergonomic shape of this new saddle features reduced length and ensures proper support in the generous rear section and optimum pressure distribution in the front section.IDmatch is a brand inside the Selle Italia & San Marco family, that also splits off independently for customized saddle fits, shoe fits, and complete bike fits. On top of the Foot Fit section that was already about getting the right sized shoe and cleat setup, now new IDmatch cycling-specific Footbed insoles offer customizable fit & support. The insoles then offer 1 of three heights of support (1-3), but a surprisingly wide range of 7 arch lengths (XXS-XXL). It’s not about how long your foot is but how long your arch is, then the super thin forward portion of the insole is just trimmed to fit, matching whatever insole came out of your shoe to start with. road-specific saddle with Carbon DLS™ Technology is one of the most advanced on the market and is the perfect way to

Superlight full carbon fiber rails with oval section (9,8 mm x 7 mm) with PATENTED DNA (Dynamic Node Action) technology which prevents twisting and keeps the front of the saddle narrow for great pedalling freedom. It makes the Carbon fiber rails even stiffer and, give to the central geometry a longer section to ensure more extensive saddle adjustment. This Rails is used on Superleggera and Carbon FX saddles. An adaptor might be required with some seat posts. I did the fit process for my size 43 feet, and came out with an L2 insole, indicating a slightly longer than average heel:arch and a middle of the road Medium arch. The insoles are around 2.5mm thin, 88g light (for an uncut pair), and are quite flexible. They offer support from the heel to the arch, while allowing the foot to rotate quite freely as you pedal.And the more off-tarmac Allroad Supercomfort gets muted earthy Desert Sage green and light Ice Gray. A saddle is a personal preference and no saddle will be perfect for everyone. That doesn't change when talking about a 3D printed saddle. The only difference there is that 3D printing allows for much more precise tuning of the padding. A great saddle company can exploit this new tool to do what they've always done before just with more precision. The saddle weighs a reasonable 190g, which is quite competitive compared with similar styles of short saddles that also have an open channel, at similar price points. bridges, which enhance the rigidity with ergonomy and durability characteristics, without affecting weight to the I’d probably prefer a 100% recyclable saddle, made with less embodied energy, and less of a harmful impact on the environment for a 100g weight penalty…
