Selle Italia bike saddles combine tradition with quality

Selle Italia is undoubtedly one of the most famous seat manufacturers in the European market, renowned for its original designs and high-tech development process. The company’s story began just outside Milan, in the village of Corsico, in 1897. Back then, the first saddle developed by Selle Italia was for every day bicycles used for transportation – which at the time, was the transport of choice for many people. As times changed and the automobile became most people’s primary mode of transport, Selle Italia too moved with the times into innovating saddles for road and mountain bike leisure and sport – aimed at both amateur and professional-level cyclists. Selle Italia is also known for its production of handlebar tape that provides an easy grip and high levels of comfort even during long-distance rides.

Its innovative bicycle saddles are intended for cyclists who want to ride on the bike as comfortably as possible without compromising on speed or performance. The look of each saddle is unique, and its vision has turned Selle Italia into a number-one bike saddle producer worldwide.

Every product made by Selle Italia comes from extensive research and development, scientific studies and stringent testing. They also undergo real-life testing with experienced and professional riders to ensure that the perfect saddle is created, never compromising on comfort or performance, no matter how great the challenge.
