FAQs
What are the dimensions of the Cinelli Scatto?
The saddle is 137mm wide and 277mm long.
Will this fit my mountain bike?
Yes, as long as your seatpost uses a standard 2-rail clamp system.
What is the rail material?
The rails are made from durable Chromolly Steel.
Is the saddle waterproof?
The leather surface is water-resistant, but it should be wiped dry after exposure to rain to maintain the integrity of the material.
Does it come in different colors?
This specific model is the C-Smile variant. Check for other variants like the Araldo for different design aesthetics.
What is the weight of the saddle?
While weight may vary slightly, the use of Chromolly Steel rails prioritizes durability and vibration damping over ultra-lightweight performance.
Troubleshooting
Saddle creaking during rides
Check the rail clamp bolts and ensure they are tightened to the recommended torque. Apply a small amount of bicycle-specific grease to the rail contact points.
Saddle shifting position
Verify the seatpost clamp is clean and tightened securely. If slippage continues, clean the rails and clamp surface with isopropyl alcohol.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Scatto Saddle utilizes a standard 2-rail mounting system, making installation straightforward on the vast majority of road, hybrid, and urban bike seatposts.
- Installation: Loosen the clamp on your seatpost, slide the saddle rails into the cradle, adjust your desired fore/aft position, and tighten to the manufacturer's specified torque rating.
- Compatibility: Compatible with all standard 2-rail seatpost clamps. Ensure the clamp is not overtightened to prevent damage to the rails.
- Care: To maintain the leather surface, clean regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or detergents. If exposed to heavy rain, wipe dry immediately and allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
