Saddles

New this year, our Cite Italia gel saddles combine the utmost in comfort with the latest in Italian design and manufacturing. Using the best in cover, gel and rail materials, they are little lighter and sleeker than their Taiwanese counterparts at just a few dollars more. A layer of gel across the top gives an additional level of relief to the Cite X Gel. It was designed for recreational riders who spend a half day on the bike or less, ride nearly upright with lots of weight against the saddle, prefer the closest thing to a pillow or have significant lower back pain. A completely seamless, heavily contoured top with large cutaway will hit and miss in all the right places. Shock-absorbing elastomers molded into the saddle base create the effect of springs without any mechanical devices. They also help eliminate vibrations from road or surface that ordinarily get transferred straight to the spine. Smooth synthetic top (with a choice of graphics) is easy to maintain and will look new for years. - seamless synthetic cover with screen-printed graphics - center cutaway with rear relief channel reduces contact points with soft tissue areas - thin gel layer along top of saddle provides an additional level of comfort -  length x width: 241mm x 165mm - weight: 436 grams; 15.4 ounces - rails: FeC alloy made in Italy

With hundreds of thousands on the road, the Liberator has earned its reputation as one of the most comfortable saddles for men. We recommend it to those experiencing a variety of comfort issues. Lengthy rides or touring where body position is slightly more upright requires a saddle that's anatomically supportive and has a higher degree of comfort. We designed the Liberator Y with a wider rear for support of sit bones, a large cutaway through the center, and a relief channel off the back for pressure relief and airflow. Additionally, we shaped the back panel to reduce the points of stitching contact between you and your saddle. - Black Dura-tek cover with black stitching - Center cutaway with rear relief channel reduces contact points with soft tissue areas - Length x width: 269mm x 173mm - Weight: 433 grams; 15.3 ounces - Rails: satin steel

A wider center cutaway and the addition of gel along the top are the primary differentiators between this saddle and our classic Butterfly. The wider relief channel, combined with its contoured rear and thin gel layer, makes the Butterfly Ti Gel + extremely comfortable and ideal for endurance riders. Like all Butterflies, the Ti Gel + shares the basic construction characteristics. It's wider in the rear than typical race saddles for good support of a woman's sit bones. The top is flat and low profile, and we've used the ideal blend of stiffness/softness in the injection molded foam to allow for good support and power while pedaling. Outfitted with lightweight ti rails and hand made in Italy. - Leather cover with perforated Butterfly pattern - Thin gel layer along the top of the saddle provides an additional level of comfort - Widest cutaway in the Butterfly line-up for maximum pressure relief - Length x width: 262mm x 155mm - Weight: 255 grams; 9 ounces - Rails: Ti-316
