Among the Italian brand SELLE SANMARCO's long history, the "Aspide" is a particularly popular model.
Despite its lightweight and slim form, it achieves a level of comfort unimaginable from its appearance. The narrow front design does not impede leg movement during pedaling, while the rear firmly supports the rider, providing a stable position.
Although primarily developed for road biking, it is also suitable for gravel rides and long rides. With its clean, minimalist design and excellent fit, it has been an iconic SELLE SANMARCO product, supported by many riders for many years.
It comes in two types: Open-Fit, which reduces pressure on the perineal area, and Full-Fit, for those who prefer a classic feel. You can choose according to your riding style and preference.

💬 STAFF REVIEW
While costing under 20,000 yen and featuring metal rails, its weight of under 200g is quite remarkable. Its cost-performance is also a significant highlight.
Despite its thin shape, I haven't heard anyone around me complain of pain from this saddle. It combines both lightness and comfort – truly an excellent all-rounder.
