Alpine Mountain Biking

My old Avocet saddle had finally given up so I was in the market for a new model. Not too wide, not too heavy, leather cover and black. My local Decathlon had the XO Gel from Italian experts Selle Italia. They've been making bike saddles for more than a century. The XO Gel retails at 25 Euros and weight just 215 grams. Be careful, there are lots of heavier XO models and the Selle Italia website doesn't even show this one.

The XO Gel Saddle is suitable for both road and MTB bikes. It has a low profile and wider seating area. The saddle is finished in leather with Gel padding. Rails are manganese to reduce weight.
