More Details

The Selle Italia S5 Superflow is more than just a saddle—it's a thoughtful combination of ergonomic support, pressure relief, and smart visibility, tailored for riders who prioritize comfort and safety in every ride scenario. Whether you're navigating urban streets, rolling through weekend tours, or simply getting back on the bike after a long break, the S5 Superflow offers a riding experience that’s intuitive, secure, and exceptionally forgiving.

Designed in a short-nose format with a “waved” anatomical profile, the S5 Superflow encourages an immediately natural and stable seating position. This shape is ideal for cyclists who prefer a more upright posture or tend to move minimally during rides, allowing you to stay in the performance sweet spot from the moment you saddle up. The gentle rear rise supports your sit bones with added surface contact, helping distribute weight evenly and reduce fatigue over longer distances.

At the heart of its comfort-focused construction lies Selle Italia’s hallmark Superflow technology—a deep central cut-out that effectively reduces perineal pressure. By improving blood flow and reducing numbness, the Superflow channel transforms how your body interacts with the saddle, making extended rides smoother and more enjoyable. This is especially valuable for commuters and recreational cyclists who spend extended periods in the saddle without aggressive repositioning.

Further elevating comfort is the inclusion of gel-infused padding, which works in tandem with the saddle’s ergonomic shaping to absorb road vibrations and shield you from surface imperfections. The gel not only adds plush cushioning but also adapts dynamically to your body, ensuring support that feels natural and never intrusive.

Built to perform day after day, the S5 Superflow is equipped with FeC alloy rails—a carbon-iron steel alloy known for its high strength and resilience. These Ø7mm rails ensure a firm connection to your seatpost while providing subtle flex to absorb frame feedback, creating a stable, shock-resistant ride quality across all terrains.

The Soft-Tek saddle cover finishes the design with a smooth, durable polyurethane surface that resists wear, moisture, and environmental damage, making the S5 Superflow as reliable as it is comfortable. Whether you're riding through drizzle or dust, this cover maintains its feel and form.

But the S5 doesn’t just care about comfort—it actively enhances rider visibility with its Hi-Viz reflective inserts embedded in the rear of the saddle. Designed to reflect vehicle headlights and ambient light, these inserts improve your presence in low-light conditions—ideal for early morning rides, twilight commutes, or cloudy weather scenarios. It’s passive safety, seamlessly integrated into performance.

Weighing 365g and sized at 140x272mm, the S5 Superflow belongs to Selle Italia’s Sportouring category, making it a perfect fit for cyclists who seek the sweet spot between recreational enjoyment and everyday practicality.
