A perfect saddle for comfort and ventilation
Go to Photo Gallery
The saddle Selle Royal Women's Respiro is made with the same concept of a man version. A saddle, then, with size and conformation that allow the best possible support and also the best possible comfort. Again we find, then, the ventilation system that allows you to minimize the temperature of the body areas in contact with the saddle itself. This solution promotes blood circulation, reduces the possibility of erythema and improves comfort. Saddle Respiro Pro Moderate Women's has dimensions of 202x265 mm, the system has damping with elastomer, large central opening to decompress the genitals and improve ventilation. This is also favored-opening front. The hull is crafted with a clip to anchor the bag or the rear, while the padding is in Royal Gel, the gel developed by Selle Royal. The coating material of the seat is breathable and water repellent. The declared weight of this version is 500 grams, while we detected 530. Still single colour available, that of the tested model.
Road test
The saddle Respiro Women has the perfect constructive care of that for men, as well as its abundant weight, but it is certainly not destined to a racing bike. Excellent anatomical conformation of the cradle, which takes into due consideration the morphology of women, the thick layer of gel and the central opening which avoids crushing the genitals. In the saddle you will discover a great comfort, because the body's weight is distributed is a large area of support and why you feel the slightest compression genitals. The ventilation system is effective and helps to increase the ride comfort. Excellent also the system with shock absorbing elastomers, which filters good shots of the ground. So you can stay several hours in the saddle without discomfort and with great pleasure. You only need to pay attention on what bike is assembled with, because each model is suited for a saddle breath particular posture in the saddle. Thus the model being tested is suitable for riding position with the back only slightly tilted forward. Under these conditions, the seat is perfect, but we noticed a bike ride and a seat support in less than optimal when we tested with a bike who expected a more "racing" in the saddle. Coupled to a proper bike, however, the performance of the saddle are perfect. A saddle, ultimately, that offers a perfect comfort over long distances on uneven, with excellent decompression of the genitals and equally excellent ventilation. It has no weight, but is designed to bike where weight is not the first element to be observed. The price, of about 80 Euro, it seems appropriate to the quality of the saddle.
