Integrated into the collection herotage, the new saddles combine classic and modern elements, paying homage to the company's roots and to the champions who chose them in the past. Made of genuine leather and in total black, the Turbo and Flite embody the spirit of cycling of yesteryear.

Turbo 1980
The Turbo was the first saddle from the Asolo company used by a professional cyclist in the 80s: Bernard Hinault made it a legendary model. The Turbo 1980 celebrates this history and relaunches the original design in a model with a genuine leather cover and a rail in FecAlloy. A unique version that brings back to life the cycling of yesteryear in a contemporary reinterpretation.

Flite 1990
First launched in 1990, the Flite was a true revolution in the world of saddles. It was the first product to feature a design with an exposed rail, which influenced saddle design for future generations. The Flite 1990 version maintains a minimalist style and a slim silhouette, and bears the old Selle Italia logo, precisely to celebrate the company's long history. Handmade with genuine leather and a titanium rail, it is the reinterpretation of an iconic model that continues to be used by new great champions.
