The Selle Royal Avenue Saddle is equipped with extra-thick Royalgel™ cushioning to reduce sit-bone discomfort, and with a central channel that ensures pressure relief in the perineal area. Durable and versatile, this technology absorbs pressure and distributes it across the saddle surface, ensuring the best support for even your longest rides. The patented Selle Royal technology makes the cover sealed and substantially waterproof, even when exposed to heavy, wet weather. The ergonomic channel is engineered to ergonomically follow the shape of the body, delivering pressure relief in the soft tissue areas and support in the ischiatic zone.
