Extraordinary efficiency, peerless performance and an alluring design. The cutting-edge of the Selle-Italia off-road universe
bears the name XLR.
The Selle Italia X-LR Air Cross is specially designed to meet the needs of mountain bike, cross-country and cyclocross riders. It is the outcome of relentless product research, improved even further by the joint contributions of athletes, designers and other sector experts.
With Air Cross, Selle Italia introduces a new technology that combines comfort with a waterproof outer layer. The result is uncompromising, with remarkable resistance to abrasion and tear as well as a revolutionary design.
It is better on the inside too with the double-density padding
that gives it a defined structure: a softer tip makes for
greater ease of movement and better comfort levels
even on an uphill ride; on the other hand, the highdensity
rear provides all the stability you need while pedalling. The innovative antiabrasion bumpers will give you peerless protection if you come off your bike.
The XLR stands out for the specific slant of its nose which slopes forward and makes for greater freedom in the saddle while riding. The integrated shock absorber does away with all vibrations coming up from the road surface. For additional comfort, a relief channel reduces the pressure in the perineal area. This saddle sets a new standard in the off-road sector.
