Boasting a history of over 100 years in saddle manufacturing, SELLE ITALIA is arguably the industry heavyweight that continues to redefine the history of saddles through constant, innovative ideas.
The highly cushioned gel-injected saddles, saddles with center cutouts, and carbon saddles that we see so often today were, in fact, all pioneered and released to the world by Selle Italia.
Among their offerings, they have also remade models produced in their home country of Italy and reissued series reflecting on past masterpieces, branded with their original company name, SELLA ITALIA.
The newly released MILANO series from SELLA ITALIA, which we are introducing here, features the remake of two models widely considered to be immortal classics in the world of cycling saddles.
【SELLA ITALIA】
Milano Turbo Racer
Price : ¥11,500-(excl. tax)
Material : Leather
Rail: Fec Alloy
Color: Light Brown
Size: 146 x 275 mm
Weight: 370 g
The TURBO was released in 1980 and was a road-riding saddle loved by many top racers in the Tour de France of that era.
Its "round shape," which forms a beautiful arch when viewed from the front, is a prototype for modern road saddles. Because it allows the pelvis to move easily in response to pedaling, it reduces fatigue on long rides—one of the reasons for its enduring popularity.
While the standard Turbo is a nubuck model, this Racer version features genuine leather, allowing you to enjoy the way the texture changes the more you ride.
【SELLA ITALIA】
Milano Turbo Bullitt
Price : ¥11,500-(excl. tax)
Material : Leather
Rail: Fec Alloy
Color: Brown
Size: 146 x 275mm
Weight: 358g
While it shares the same Turbo design, the Bullitt features a deep brown color that exudes a more understated, classy vibe.
The titanium-colored plates embedded at the front and rear serve as a nice accent, fitting seamlessly onto dark-toned or raw-colored frames as if they had always belonged there.
【SELLA ITALIA】
Milano Flite Bullitt
Price：¥15,800-(excl. tax)
Material : Leather
Rail: Titanium
Color: Brown
Size: 146 x 280 mm
Weight: 230 g
And then there is the other masterpiece: the Flite.
While its clean look and lightweight nature often draw attention, the true characteristic of the Flite is its flat seat surface. Because it distributes the pressure on the saddle more evenly, it provides comfortable support for pedaling, whether you are on the road or off-road, including on gravel.
Its classical and refined look seems calculated to make slender chromoly frames appear even more beautiful.
It won't take long for you to fall in love with the ride of a saddle that has been loved for years and continues to evolve without fear to ensure it is loved for years to come.
