Product Description

Finding the perfect saddle is an overwhelming experience, especially when a rock-hard racing saddle is too little, and most ‘women’s saddles’ are little more than over-padded bar stools. For this very reason, Selle Italia created the Lady Gel Flow Saddle. Essentially, it strikes an ideal balance between the aforementioned extremes. So, whether you’re happiest on winding roads or dusty singletrack, this saddle will be just right. Comfort was the primary concern with the Lady Gel Flow, so Selle Italia employed a nylon base that blends support with a comfortable flex. Aiding in the comfort factor is the shape, which combines a generous 160mm tail width with a medium 262mm overall length. The result is a saddle that supports your sit bones, without being so wide that it gets in the way when you’re pedaling. Furthering this theme of targeted support, a pressure relief channel runs down the middle in order to direct your body’s weight to your sit bones. Why? Well, because the sit bones are far more adept than your soft tissues at supporting your body’s weight. For further comfort, Selle Italia incorporated a layer of gel underneath the hard-wearing Lorica cover. Basically, this protective buffer cancels out much of road vibration. But, unlike those terrible gel seat covers that you may have seen, the gel used here is thin. So, it provides plenty of support, even after long days in the saddle. Supporting the entire saddle are Selle Italia’s Manganese Tube rails. These rails are both strong and lightweight. So strong, in fact, that Selle Italia rates this saddle for off road use. And no matter where your ride takes you, the vibration absorbers in the aft of the saddle will take away the sting. So, you’re able to ride this saddle pretty much anywhere, and it will be equally at home. The Selle Italia Lady Gel Flow Saddle is available in a 160x262mm size and in the colors Black and White.

… issues with her new bike (which we spent a good amount of money on)

My fiance was having a lot of issues with her new bike (which we spent a good amount of money on). It was to the point where she thought it was hopeless and she would never be able to enjoy the new bike. We did a bit of research and discovered that the seats that come with bikes are just not built for women at all. We came across this seat, it was a life saver! It made a huge difference for her. Previously she couldn’t ride a mile without experiencing severe discomfort, but now shes going on 2-3 hour rides. We would recommend this seat to anyone facing the same problem!

Much appreciated upgrade

Bought this for my wife who absolutely loved the upgrade. She says she feels much more comfortable on this saddle, especially for the long rides. Used to have to take a couple days off after long rides due to the residual discomfort, but now she’s right back on the bike the next day.

delicate area) and she is now happy to get on her bike with me and ride

Bought this for my fiancee to replace the stock seat (which was killing her….umm…delicate area) and she is now happy to get on her bike with me and ride. Easy to install and definitely worth the price.

This could be an excellent saddle, unfortunately my sit bones were to wide

This could be an excellent saddle, unfortunately my sit bones were to wide. Wish it was jut slightly wider. Padding wasn’t overbearing. I’ll stick with my Brooks saddle which is finally broke in.

A great Saddle

Super comfortable saddle for long rides, I have 1000’s of miles on this saddle and it is wearing very well.

My tush never felt so good!! Lol!

I don’t know why this seat is different. I actually doesn’t even look well padded but just did 50 miles with it and it felt good.

My favorite saddle. Comfortable without being squishy

My favorite saddle. Comfortable without being squishy. Made my sciatica go away immediately :-)

You get what you pay for!

Great saddle! My wife is very happy with the saddle commenting on the vast improvement over her former saddle. Do your butt a favor and buy this saddle.
