Selle San Marco Aspide Short Open-Fit Carbon FX Saddle

Developed for the demands of modern road and off-road riding disciplines, this versatile saddle features a high-quality microfeel with carbon cover construction that's breathable and hard-wearing wherever your ride takes you. Selle San Marco has also equipped this model with a carbon fibre reinforced shell, so you will enjoy its increased rigidity, stiffness and durability, without compromising weight. Another highlight is its DNA-Carbon rails, which deliver an excellent strength to weight ratio with a length that's greater than traditional carbon rails, allowing for one of the best adjustments of the saddle. Coming complete with Biofoam padding and a central relief channel, it provides lasting comfort and support on longer journeys, while also reducing fatigue from around your sit bones.

Compact Shape with Unmistakable Style

The Aspide short resumes the essential shape and the unmistakable design, which has always characterised the Aspide range, but shortens its length (250mm) to make it even more comfortable. Its shape, combined with the large central cut-out (Open-Fit), guarantees maximum comfort and adequate support of the ischiatic bones in different pedalling situations.

Since 2002 the Aspide has been the top model of the entire Selle San Marco collection. A product that in almost 20 years of history, has managed to support many cyclists to victory in World Tour Events, thanks to its perfect combination of comfort and lightness. Today, the Aspide takes one more step. It also becomes “Short” to increase even more the comfort and guarantee the pleasure of pedalling.

Wide Open-Fit Design

The Aside Short's Wide Open-Fit design and its clean, minimalist lines guarantee perfect comfort and even greater lightness. The slim front guarantees excellent leg freedom whilst pedalling. Whilst the rear support helps maintain the riding position. Aspide is particularly suited to road use, yet also offers excellent performance on other types of terrain. The Selle San Marco Aspide Short Open-Fit Carbon FX Saddle, with a total length of 250mm is now available in two modern fit sizes to choose from, so you'll be covered whatever your performance demands or budget needs are.

Technologies:

DNA-Carbon Rails: The crossing X shape knot (Dynamic Node Action) enables to increase the rigidity of the rail and also to reduce the weight, avoiding useless spin and torsion, without compromising the comfort. A length greater than the traditional carbon rails you can find on the market allows one of the best adjustments of the saddle. Superleggera and Carbon FX saddles have this rail.

Carbon Fibre Reinforced Shell: Nylon with high properties, enriched with a high proportion of long carbon fibre, in order to reinforce the characteristics of rigidity, stiffness and durability without compromising the weight.

Biofoam: Biodynamic structure that follows the movements of the pelvis during pedalling, guarantees comfort, reduced weight, lasting resistance and ideal support. The “closed cells” surface ensures water is repelled from the padding.

Microfeel + Carbon Cover: Breathable and hard-wearing cover. It is lighter than traditional materials and less deformable. Anti-skid effect with an extraordinary grip on the saddle. Biocompatible material. Corner touchpoints have a carbon fabric for added style & durability.

Ergonomy: The perfect balance between the support and relief zone. The "big hole" helps maintain comfort under pressure and offers day long support and comfort. The central relief zone is long enough to work in all riding positions.
