have used selle italia gel saddles both off and on road for years and have found they consistently deliver comfort, high performance with long lasting durability. they handle mud, wet, sand and sweat and still look great after a clean up and air drying.

most of my riding is now on the road for recreation and commuting so would expect my selle italia saddles to last for quite sometime.

This saddle is the right shape for me and the gel provides just enough give without being soft. The big cutout works for me, too. I'm 6'1 and 185 lbs. Fairly flexible, can touch my toes, and ride in what I'd call a moderately aggressive position.

I brought the Selle Italia SLR Gel Flow to replace my Selle Italia C2 Gel Flow since it was wearing out. I shift my riding position a lot on 200K and 300K rides, thus I thought the Max SLR Gel Flow's flatter profile would suit me better than the curve shape of the C2. It is a lightweight saddle with a larger cut-out than my C2 which I thought would relieve pressure point from my seat bone area of my butt.

Unfortunately, the mid-point on the both side of the saddle is too shallow compared to the C2 and did not have enough support for my seat bone on my 5'6, 142 lb frame, causing some major bruising after one ride. I wind up exchanging it for the Flite Flow which is a wider saddle with even flatter profile on the recommendation of one of the sales rep. It is just as light as the Max SLR Gel Flow but with much more support for my seat bone. Thank you BTD for great customer service in product knowledge and hassle-free exchange. It is few of the reasons why I continue to shop from BTD.

This is my second SLR. I have not found a performance saddle for road riding that matches the SLR's comfort, suppprt and overall killer cosmetics. Other saddles I currently own Brooks Cambium B17 and WTB Silverado.

This was a replacement of a mid-level seat I have had for many years. Was looking for a bit more comfort on distance rides (>50mi). Have only tested it to 30 miles, but it is providing better comfort than what it replaced.

This is my 4th Selle Italia Max Saddle over the past 7 years. I average 4,000 miles per year and lots of long distances rides. This saddle is great for longer (50+mile) rides, comfortable and fits just right.

I ride gran fondos and do training rides of 30 to 60 miles in between. This seat is soft enough to make the ride as comfortable as possible yet rigid enough to transfer the forces efficiently. i feel most comfortable on seats with cut out's, and this one fits me well.

A little spendy, but very nice.

This is the most comfortable road saddle I have found. I bought a second one. The newest one has a pointless piece of carbon fiber sewn into the top that I dislike, but other than that I highly recommend giving this saddle a try

I switched from a Specialized saddle that I thought was very comfortable. While this new saddle has caused some saddle soreness because of different sit bone contact, overall I find it to comfortable and made with very good quality.
