Selle Italia launches the new X-Bow, a product created for all those looking for optimum stability and support on all types of off-road terrain. route. Dedicated to all the world disciplines of MTB, Enduro, E-bike and Gravel, X-Bow is the result of a specific study that led Selle Italia to patent an innovative method of fixing the rail, which led to a series of advancestages. In the X-Bow, in fact, the "structure" is fixed in the rearmost part of the saddle, almost on the edge, which means that the area of ​​the body of the saddle on which the ischial bones and the perineal areas press is freer, thus limiting to a minimum the pressure of these areas on the saddle.

The X-Bow rail, in addition to the aforementioned feature, allows for a better adjustment of the saddle as the new method of positioning the rail allows an increase in the useful section for fixing the saddle rack. This results in greater flexibility for the rider's adjustment settings. The X-Bow will help to further dampen vibrations coming from rough terrain and the typical stresses of off-road disciplines thanks to the presence of the shock absorber located between the structure and the body of the saddle.

The rail is the protagI also designed the saddle logo, just to indicate how much importance this new product has in this part of the saddle.

The X-Bow is a short saddle with a neutral shape and a slightly raised rear for greater stability, and features a particularly soft Soft-Tek cover. It is available in two variants, one with a TI316 rail and one with a Fec Helloy. Both models, which have different graphics, will be equipped only with a perforated saddle body but it will be possible to choose the padding with or without holes superflow in addition to the availability of sizes S and L.
