Can someone compare Selle Italia flite and prolink gelflow saddles?
Hi,
I'm trying to pick a new saddle for my bike, since the old one is pretty much worn out. I've pretty much narrowed my search down to either the Selle italia flite gelflow and the Selle italia prolink gelflow - They look pretty similar in pictures, and I've only been able to find the flite here locally. If anyone has seen both, or ideally, ridden both, I'm curious what the differences are. Thanks wesley |

If anyone has seen both, or ideally, ridden both, I'm curious what the differences are. Thanks wesley They are slightly diferent shape. The tail (sit bone areas) of the Prolink are flatter whereas the Flite curves downward, and the nose of the Prolink rises up and then dips down, while the Flite's nose is essentially flat. On the Prolink this creates a slightly recessed area in the middle of the saddle. Also, the Prolink has a much more elaborate substructure with carbon-wrapped rails, a suspension "spring" under the nose, and foam/elastomer "isolators" between the tail of the saddle and the rails. I believe all this "technology" makes the Prolink a little heavier than the Flite. I have them both. For me the Prolink works superbly. |
