Frequently Asked Questions
Is the rail titanium or alloy?
This version has alloy rails (280g). The Selle Italia direct version uses titanium rails (230g). Same shell, cover, and dimensions.
Is the leather cover durable?
Yes. Full-grain leather is naturally durable and develops a patina over time. It resists heat buildup better than synthetic covers.
Is this a replica or the original design?
This is Selle Italia's official reissue of the iconic 1990 Flite, handmade in Italy with the same flat race profile.
