FAQs
What makes the Greentech process sustainable?
The Greentech process is Selle Italia's method for producing saddles using fully recyclable materials and eliminating waste and harmful substances during manufacturing, thereby reducing environmental impact.
Who is the 'Boost' design intended for?
The 'Boost' design features a shorter nose to improve ergonomics and comfort, especially for riders who frequently adopt aggressive, aerodynamic positions on the bike, such as in racing or time trials.
Will the waved shape work for all riders?
The waved shape is specifically designed to offer better pelvic stability, particularly for riders with posterior pelvic tilt. While beneficial for many, riders without this specific posture might find a flatter saddle profile more comfortable.
Is this saddle suitable for commuting?
While designed for performance and endurance road cycling, its comfort features like the Superflow cut-out and padding can make it suitable for longer, more performance-oriented commutes. However, for casual commuting, other saddles might offer more upright comfort.
How do I clean the eco-friendly materials?
Clean the saddle with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
What is the main benefit of the Superflow cut-out?
The Superflow cut-out is a large central opening designed to significantly reduce pressure in the perineal area, enhancing comfort during long rides and preventing numbness.
Is this saddle unisex?
Yes, the Selle Italia Novus Boost Evo Sport Greentech Saddle is designed with a unisex fit, suitable for all adult cyclists regardless of gender.
Troubleshooting
Saddle feels uncomfortable after installation
Re-check saddle height, fore/aft position, and tilt. Small adjustments can make a significant difference. Ensure the saddle is properly aligned with the bike's centerline.
Creaking noise from the saddle area
Ensure the saddle clamp bolts on the seatpost are properly tightened to the correct torque. Check if the saddle rails are seated correctly within the clamp.
Perineal pressure or numbness persists
While the Superflow cut-out is designed to help, ensure your bike fit is optimized. The saddle might need to be tilted slightly down, or your overall riding position adjusted.
Waved shape feels unstable
Confirm you have posterior pelvic tilt. If not, the waved shape might not be ideal for your riding style, and a flatter saddle profile could be more suitable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your seatpost clamp is compatible with the saddle rail dimensions (standard oval or round rails).
Mount the saddle onto your seatpost, adjusting the height and fore/aft position to your preferred riding geometry. Use a torque wrench to tighten the seatpost clamp bolts to the manufacturer's recommended specification (typically 5-7 Nm).
Fine-tune the saddle tilt for optimal comfort. A slight nose-up or level position is often recommended, but individual preference varies.
Compatibility:
Bike Types: Road bikes, endurance road bikes, gravel bikes, and fitness bikes.
Rail Compatibility: Designed for standard 7x7mm or 7x9mm saddle rails.
Rider Weight Limit: Check manufacturer specifications; typically suitable for standard adult rider weights.
Care:
Clean the saddle regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.
For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution with water on the cloth. Dry the saddle thoroughly afterward.
Protect the saddle from prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures and direct sunlight when not in use, as this can degrade the materials over time.
