Selle Italia Novus Boost Gravel Heritage

I've used a lot of saddle for mountain biking and Selle Italia has become my favorite. The drop nose is great for sliding to the tip for steep climbs and the open center canal makes this a comfy seat for long rides. And this color matches the sidewalls of my tires - bonus!

While saddle choice depends on body type, fit, and riding style, this saddle works perfectly for me! In fact, I now own TWO :) I ride BOTH endurance road AND long distance gravel bikes. I bought my first for the gravel bike. I ride miles of steep gravel roads in the Northeast. Unlike paved roads, the gravel roads really require that I stay seated on the uphills to avoid losing traction - the saddle is so comfortable for this! Not only is the padding sufficient for long and varied endurance rides, but the overall size and shape, combined with the outer material and solid construction, create a saddle that transitions effortlessly and painlessly from 40 mph downhill to 4mph uphill. On the pave roads, this saddle is a perfect complement to my carbon frame; I can pedal for hours on open road at 20+ and I honestly don't even feel the saddle, other than that it is comfortable on my rear. Lastly, it's just a great looking saddle! I highly recommend!!

Nice, quality seems to be lacking compared to my other Selle Italia saddle, really nice color, a bit more padding than I like

Very comfortable. I can ride several hours without “butt rot”. Bought this for my gravel bike and have been quite pleased. The break-in period was about 150 miles.

looks and functions are top-notch. Selle Italia won't let you down and you won't be disappointed. comfortable and looks really nice.

We'll see how it holds up in a couple years

The seat is wide and padded. It is shorter than my previous saddle and provides a comfortable ride!

Selle Italia claims to have a 2 year warranty. Saddle broke within that time frame. Contacted Selle Italia for replacement. They were not helpful at all and put all the responsibility on the seller. Fortunately, the seller was extremely accommodating and professional. I would do business again with the seller. I will no longer purchase Selle Italia products. Selle Italia would not take responsibility and offered no support!

After doing my research on Selle Italia saddles for gravel bikes for big guys, I had settled on Selle Italia and liked the Novus Boost which met my sizing requirements. I also liked the heritage version that I saw on the Selle website, which is technically identical to the black saddle. When doing a search on where I could order this saddle, I found that Amazon was selling it for less than half the suggested retail price. Wow, great deal. The saddle itself is very comfortable for a big guy like me and fits as outlined in the Selle Italia sizing application. Much better than the stock saddle that came with my bike. Not only that, the heritage model looks great with my sandstone coloured Cannondale.

Great quality as usual with selle Italia, padding is little to soft to my liking.

I have ridden this saddle only 200km so far, but I can tell that this is the most comfortable saddle I've had so far. And it does look excellent too!

Bella e super confortevole!

Selle choisie pour le gravel, montée et essayée cet après midi.Le résultat est au delà de mes espérances.Courte et on retrouve immédiatement son assise ,la zone périnéale est protégée et pas d'engourdissement au niveau du périnée.Je réfléchis pour avoir la même sur un vélo de route.
