Selle Italia S 5 SF L FEC Saddle
What Is It?
The Selle Italia S 5 SF L FEC is a comfort-oriented urban and sport-touring saddle designed for commuting, fitness riding, and everyday road cycling.
It is part of the S5 Superflow family, where:
-
S / L = saddle width (L = wider fit for broader sit bones)
-
SF (Superflow) = central cut-out for pressure relief
-
FEC = FeC alloy rails (steel-alloy rails for strength and durability)
The design focuses on comfort, vibration absorption, and pressure relief, especially for riders spending extended time in a more upright riding position.
