Individual test: Selle Italia SLR Monolink Team Edition saddle
The Italians promise ten watts more with one hour of riding time and a 90 cadence.

The reason for the ten watts more: the narrower saddle nose at the saddle cheeks is intended to minimise friction between the thigh and saddle. You won't feel this on the trail. However, it means that the pressure is distributed over an even smaller area. The SLR Monolink with Friction-Free technology is also suitable for narrow sit bone distances.

For technical descents, he is prepared to tackle almost any ascent - under his own steam. As an accessories specialist, he is the first port of call for questions about equipment and add-on parts, while as head of copywriting he sweeps the language crumbs from the pages of the BIKE print editions.
