The Selle San Marco Bioaktive City Biofoam saddle is designed for adult cyclists seeking enhanced comfort during everyday riding and touring. Its key benefit is the adaptive Biofoam padding that minimizes pressure points by conforming to pelvic movements, though its relatively wide seat may not suit all riding styles. This saddle combines a supportive Polypropylene shell with Biofoam padding for a balance of comfort and durability.

Biofoam is a special padding material used by Selle San Marco. It's designed to be lightweight, resilient, and to adapt to the rider's movements, enhancing comfort by reducing pressure points during pedaling.
This saddle is designed primarily for comfort during everyday riding, touring, and trekking. While it offers good support, its wider profile and padding are not optimized for the aggressive, aerodynamic positions typical of competitive racing.
The saddle is available in two sizes: Small (262 x 232mm) and Large (269 x 220mm).
The Small size weighs approximately 500g, and the Large size weighs approximately 530g.
These refer to the texture and finish of the saddle's outer cover. 'Black Matt S.' likely indicates a matte black finish, while 'Silkfeel' suggests a smoother, possibly slightly shinier texture that aims to provide a comfortable feel against cycling shorts.
The choice depends on your personal preference and sit bone width. Generally, a wider saddle is beneficial for riders with wider sit bones or those who prefer a more upright riding position. If unsure, consult a bike fitter or compare with your current saddle's dimensions.
Adjust the saddle angle slightly. A common starting point is level or a very slight downward tilt at the nose. Ensure the seatpost clamp is securely tightened without over-tightening.
Check that the saddle rails are properly seated and tightened within the seatpost clamp. Ensure no debris is trapped between the clamp and the rails. If the noise persists, it may indicate wear or a structural issue.
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution, rinse with clean water, and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Setup: This saddle is designed to replace most standard bicycle saddles. Ensure your bicycle seatpost has a compatible clamp mechanism. Loosen the clamp on your existing seatpost, remove the old saddle, and slide the new saddle's rails into the clamp. Tighten the clamp securely, adjusting the saddle's angle (typically level or slightly nose-down) for optimal comfort. Use a hex key to adjust the tilt and position.
Compatibility: The Selle San Marco Bioaktive City Biofoam saddle is compatible with standard 7mm or 8x8.5mm saddle rail clamps found on most bicycle seatposts. It is suitable for road bikes, mountain bikes, hybrid bikes, touring bikes, and e-bikes.
Care: Clean the saddle cover regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the cover material. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying thoroughly. Protect the saddle from prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions when not in use.
