Selle Italia has officially presented the fourth generation of one of its most iconic saddle creations: the SLR range. A name that in just three letters encapsulates 25 years of history and references in professional and amateur cycling. 

New Selle SLR 2025: evolution, not revolution

Giuseppe Bigolin, president of Selle Italia, defines it as: «An evolution, not a revolution». The new SLR range maintains the essence of always, but introduces key improvements resulting from biomechanical analysis and new manufacturing technologies.

The design continues to bet on clean lines and a minimalist profile in black, but adopts a reduced length of 242 mm (6 mm less than before), bringing it closer to the UCI regulatory limit. The rear padding area has also been trimmed, as it has been found to not contribute to the rider's real comfort.

Technical keys

  • Reduced length: 242 mm, for greater integration with the cyclist's posture.
  • Optimized padding: trimmed in the rear area after studies with Pressure Map technology.
  • Redesigned rail: especially in the carbon version, with a new layup to better manage vibrations.
  • More adjustment freedom: the stack between the BRP and the rail insertion point has increased by 4 mm.
  • Lighter weight: all versions have reduced grams without compromising stiffness or comfort.

Three versions available now

For now, the SLR 2025 range consists of three models that cover a wide range of needs, from the most demanding professional cyclist to the enthusiast looking for performance on a budget. New variants will arrive in September.
