Evolution of a classic - Selle Italia Flite Boost Kit Carbonio Superflow + TM Bike Saddle Review

Since its introduction in the 90s, the Selle Italia Flite saddle has been popular among professional and amateur riders worldwide. The Flite saddles combine a lightweight and sleek design paired with a flat-top profile that offer impressive comfort and performance on the bike. In fact, they’ve remained so popular that Selle Italia re-released the original design as the Flite 1990s saddle in response to consumer demand. To celebrate the 30th year anniversary of the Flite saddle, Selle Italia has released a new variation of the Flite saddle - the Flite Boost. Selle Italia offers the Flite Boost in 6 key variations: three different rail material options (carbon, titanium alloy and manganese) as well as Superflow option for each. There are also wide/narrow variations available for each of the saddles that correspond to their “idmatch” system.

While the Flite Boost is a new saddle, Selle Italia didn’t deviate too far from the original Flite saddle design. Placing them side-by-side, it’s clear they have a very similar profile and flat top. The shorter 248mm length of the Boost saddle is achieved by reducing the length of the saddle nose. Aside from that, the updated Flite logo has a more modern appearance that works well with the subtle graphics of the saddles. Selle Italia doesn’t offer any color variations with the saddles, but does have subtle white highlights on the TM and Ti saddle versions while the Carbonio version is red. The Selle Italia logos on the sides of the saddle are also subtle and are printed in a slightly reflective gray color.

The bike saddle is something most riders don’t put much thought into, unless it becomes uncomfortable. If you’ve experienced a poorly fitting saddle, you’ll know it can make even short rides painful. However, saddle fit is very much personal so we highly recommend you try the saddle yourself instead of taking the word of reviews. As someone who’s been riding Flite saddles on nearly all our bikes, we were initially hesitant to try the Flite Boost variation. On the road, we actually found the Flite Boost saddle felt better than the Flite saddle. Also as someone who rides in a fairly aggressive position, the shorter length of the saddle made it easier to position myself. The saddle material on both Flite Boost saddles is also very grippy, ensuring you don’t slide around....
