With the Net, Selle Italia is going its own way. This saddle works without glue. Its individual parts are assembled into a saddle in five minutes. The materials used for the saddle are 100 percent recyclable and the saddle is manufactured in Italy. This allows the Italian saddle specialists to significantly reduce the environmental impact of saddle production.

The Net consists of a shell with a honeycomb design. Perforated EVA foam serves as padding. Perforated to achieve good ventilation. The seating area is covered with a net that provides a bold look in a wide variety of designs. But the foam can do more than just cushion. It is injected with a lavender scent that makes the saddle feel pleasant. According to Selle Italia, the scent lasts a very long time. Even when washed several times in the dishwasher, which the saddle should tolerate without any problems.

The Net is clearly intended for urban use, but it should be a good investment for the city bike in the basement - and not just visually. This saddle is available for just 39.00 euros, which is not a high price for this technology. The cool Net saddles will be available from January 2016 and initially in six designs. More may be added and a design of your choice could also be possible.

You can't sit any lighter
Also at Eurobike, Selle Italia is showing two concept saddles which, as their name suggests, will not be available for the time being. The first is the C59 which, at 59 grams, is currently the lightest full carbon saddle. The saddle shape corresponds to that of the SLR - Selle Italia's Meilentein.

The second concept saddle is also intended more for road bikes and is called the SP-01. This is the most advanced aerodynamic concept from Selle Italia. Thanks to its monocoque construction, the SP-01 integrates the saddle frame into the shell, which not only creates a futuristic design, but also relieves pressure on the perineal area.
