The Selle San Marco Bioaktive Trekking Biofoam Saddle is designed for adult cyclists seeking enhanced comfort on diverse rides, from long trekking tours to casual city cycling. Its key benefit lies in the biodynamic Biofoam padding that adapts to pelvic movement, providing durable and lightweight support. A potential consideration is the specific sizing (Small/Large) which dictates the firmness and comfort level, requiring careful selection based on intended use. This saddle features a Bioaktive design for anatomical support, steel/carbon rails, a polypropylene shell, Biofoam padding, and a Silkfeel cover.

The Biofoam padding is biodynamically designed to reduce weight, increase durability, and adapt naturally to the movement of your pelvis, providing superior comfort.
The Full-Fit profile ensures even support across the entire saddle surface, which helps to distribute pressure evenly and reduce discomfort during long rides.
The Small (175mm) version offers firmer support, ideal for longer, more demanding rides. The Large (188mm) version provides plush comfort, better suited for shorter, leisurely outings.
The saddle features steel/carbon rails, a polypropylene shell, Biofoam padding, and a Black Matt Silkfeel cover.
While designed for trekking and general riding, its comfort features and Full-Fit profile can also make it a suitable option for recreational road cyclists who prioritize comfort over aggressive performance.
The Small version weighs approximately 405g, and the Large version weighs approximately 440g.
Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the Silkfeel cover.
This is likely due to the size selection. The Small (175mm) version offers firmer support, while the Large (188mm) version provides more plush comfort. Consider if the chosen size aligns with your intended use and comfort preference.
Allow for a break-in period of several rides as the Biofoam padding conforms to your riding style. Ensure the saddle is correctly adjusted for height, tilt, and fore/aft position.
Ensure the seatpost clamp bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification. Apply a small amount of carbon paste if you have a carbon seatpost and carbon rails to prevent slipping.
Setup: This saddle is designed to be mounted onto standard bicycle seatpost clamps. Ensure your seatpost is compatible with the saddle's rail dimensions (steel/carbon). Adjust the saddle height and angle to your preferred riding position using your existing seatpost adjustment mechanisms.
Compatibility: Compatible with most standard bicycle seatposts. The steel/carbon rails are designed to fit typical clamp systems. Check your bicycle's seatpost specifications if you have any doubts.
Care: To clean the saddle, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the Silkfeel cover. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth and allowing it to air dry completely. Periodically check the saddle rails and clamp bolts for tightness.
