The Selle San Marco Aspide Short Carbon FX Saddle is designed for adult male cyclists seeking a blend of comfort, lightness, and performance for both road and off-road use. Its key benefit is enhanced comfort through a compact shape and large central cut-out, ensuring adequate support and leg freedom. A potential caveat is its specific design tailored for performance, which may require an adjustment period for riders accustomed to different saddle types.

The shortened length (250mm) offers increased comfort and greater freedom of movement for the legs while pedaling, making it feel more agile and less intrusive.
The large central cut-out reduces pressure on the perineal area and provides better support for the ischiatic bones, leading to enhanced comfort during long rides and in aggressive riding positions.
Yes, the DNA-Carbon rails feature a unique crossing X shape (Dynamic Node Action) that increases rigidity and reduces weight while maintaining comfort. They are designed for longevity and excellent adjustability.
The saddle has two weight options depending on the size: approximately 150g for the Narrow size and 155g for the Wide size.
Yes, while particularly suited for road use, the Aspide Short also offers excellent performance on other types of terrain, including gravel and off-road conditions, due to its supportive shape and durable construction.
The Narrow size has a width of 139mm (ID-Match Ref: S3), suitable for riders with narrower sit bones, while the Wide size is 155mm (ID-Match Ref: L3), designed for riders with wider sit bones.
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the breathable and hard-wearing cover.
Allow for an adjustment period of at least a few rides, as the saddle's shape and support may differ from your previous saddle. Experiment with slight adjustments to saddle height and angle.
Ensure the saddle clamp is properly tightened. Apply a thin layer of carbon assembly paste to the rails where they meet the clamp to prevent slippage and reduce noise. Check for any debris in the clamp.
The Microfeel+ cover is designed for grip. Ensure the cover is clean and free of grease or dirt. For extreme conditions, cycling shorts with good grip can further enhance stability.
Ensure you are using a seatpost clamp compatible with 9.8 x 7mm carbon rails. Do not overtighten the clamp; use a torque wrench for precise tightening to avoid damaging the rails.
