Selle Italia Nekkar Plus Seat

This cheapie selle saddle is twice as comfortable as the expensive proper selle saddle it replaced. Very welcome on my hardtail XC bike.

Very comfortable and durable!

I do not know why did I get a saddle that was made in China... Good saddle, though.

I have a different vintage with different graphics, but I think it's the same shape, which is what matters. I was afraid the edges would dig into my hamstrings, but no problems. There is a broad flat spot that fits my sit bones just right. (Your mileage may vary.) Padding is thin and firm. Plenty soft enough given the large-ish flat contact area. My position is low, and no issues up front. Slight channel down the middle is okay. (Big channels bother me.) You never know until you ride on it...They sell it as an entry-level saddle. I guess it's not that light, and no carbon fiber. If they made this shape in a racing (carbon..) version, I would consider it for my faster bikes. Has some possibly-durable material on back corners for scuffs. Looks like it will last a while. More comfort than lightness, but a good compromise.
