Product Information
Full details
The Selle Italia Novus Boost Evo Gravel TM Superflow is a high-performance, wave-shaped bicycle saddle engineered specifically for gravel and long-distance road riding. It is an ideal choice for riders seeking enhanced comfort and pressure relief through advanced shock-absorbing technology and a dedicated perineal cut-out. While it offers excellent vibration dampening for rough terrain, its specific wave-profile is optimized for static riders with posterior pelvic tilt, which may not suit every rider's unique geometry.

FAQs
Is this saddle suitable for mountain biking?
While designed primarily for gravel and road racing, its durability and vibration-absorbing features make it acceptable for light XC mountain biking, though it is not intended for heavy trail or enduro use.
What does the 'Waved' shape mean?
The wave profile is contoured to lock the rider into a specific position, which is beneficial for static riders who do not shift their weight frequently.
How do I know if I have a posterior pelvic tilt?
If you find that your lower back rounds easily and you feel most comfortable with the nose of the saddle slightly elevated, you likely have a posterior pelvic tilt, making this saddle a great choice.
Are the rails compatible with carbon seatpost clamps?
Yes, the 7mm manganese rails are compatible with most standard seatpost clamps, including those designed for carbon rails, provided the clamp is compatible with round rail profiles.
How does the Superflow cut-out help?
The center cut-out removes material where the perineal nerves are located, drastically reducing physical limitations and pain caused by prolonged pressure on sensitive tissues.
Troubleshooting
Saddle feels slippery on long descents
Verify that your bike is leveled correctly; sometimes a slight nose-up adjustment of 1-2 degrees can help settle the rider in the wave section.
Creaking noise while riding
Clean the area where the rails meet the saddle shell and apply a light dab of waterproof grease to the clamping area of the seatpost.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper installation, secure the 7mm Manganese rails into your seatpost clamp using a torque wrench. Avoid exceeding the torque ratings specified by your seatpost manufacturer to prevent damage to the rail finish.
Compatibility

Care Instructions
- Regularly wipe the Soft-Tek surface with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove salt and grit.
- Avoid aggressive scrubbing or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the polyurethane coating.
- Inspect the rail attachment points after your first few rides to ensure the bolts remain at the correct torque spec, especially after riding in wet, muddy conditions.
