Description
Get Rowdy, But Stay Stable
The Selle Italia SLR Boost Gravel TI 316 Superflow takes the classic SLR road saddle and improves it with gravel-specific design, creating a performance and comfort-focused saddle for your all-road to no-road adventures.
Meeting the needs of one of the cycling's most demanding disciplines, the SLR Boost Gravel TI 316 Superflow is the saddle of choice for riders who venture well off the beaten track. Adding gel padding and Superflow cut-out to the proven and unmistakable style of the road SLR Boost, this gravel saddle keeps you riding comfortably while the saddle's Titanium 316 rails soak up vibrations from rough surfaces. Be seen during night rides thanks to hi-vis inserts in the rear, allowing you to keep the adventure going long into the night.
Features:
- Neutral shape provides appropriate support for both cyclist with anterior pelvic rotation (dynamic riders) and those with posterior pelvic rotation (static riders)
- Superflow technology drastically reduces all physical limitations caused by prolonged pressure in the perineal area
- Ti rail features 25% higher durability and 15% lower weight compared with traditional rails
- Fibra-Tek microfiber cover material that guarantees a strong and durable lifetime at a very low weight
- Shell made with carbon composite and high grade nylon polymer
- Lightweight gel layer ensures excellent sitting comfort and complete absorption of vibrations
- Absorption system between shell and rail highly reduces road shocks and vibrations
- Hi-Viz reflective surface improves visibility even in poorly lit areas, improving safety

Reviews
I am large enough that saddles that don't just flop around on me are like sitting on a brick or a giant sponge. This is nice to sit on. The large cut away is cooling as well as pressure relieving. I do think most of how a saddle fits is in the head of a rider, and the saddle should be on the other end of the rider, so my take is very subjective at best.

i have used SLR saddles for 15 years on every bike, but my favorite version was discontinued years ago and is now almost impossible to find even used. cutout saddles have always bothered me due to being able to feel the edges of the cutout. this saddle is the perfect shape, and while i can still tell there is a hole, it hasn't been a bother yet after a couple of test rides. I also appreciate the thicker padding now that i am older and the majority of my rides are mixed terrain. The price is higher than i'd prefer, so i'm not going to jump at putting one of these on all my bikes yet, but so far i am happy with the purchase.
I know saddles are subjective but this is The One. Have one on my road bike and loved it so much, got another for my gravel rig and embarked on a 3 day 250 mile bikepacking trip with no break-in period. It was a bit of a gamble, but paid off: not saddle issues of any kind. If I had more bikes, I'g get this saddle for them too.
I have struggled with saddle sore for a long time. I did try various (5+) saddles, including Flite, but none of them worked well. SLR Boost Gravel turns out to be the best one. I didn't choose the non-Gravel one because I think the extra cushion in Gravel could help to mitigate the saddle sore. Super happy with it.
Life long SLR rider racer, switched three days before ninety mile with nine thousand foot climbing epic gravel race/ride. Simply wish I had switched sooner. Bought a second SLR Boost Gravel for my other bike the very next day!
