Selle Italia NEW Turbomatic anyone?

[quattro]

Selle Italia has a new Turbomatic gel flow Team Edition coming out, should be in stores by March I'm told. has anyone laid there hands on one? What did yo think? It's nice and wide, W153 x L275, something I look for in a saddle. It looks very nice, thoughts?

Turbo is my favourite saddle and the only saddle I've found that really works well for me. I have three of them but I always look on ebay for NOS.

I just wish sellia italia would offer the black leather model again. Of course would consider the team edition turbomatic when it comes out. I'm not a big fan of the cutout on the gel team edition, I prefer standard team edition.

After the carbon rails comment I am not so taken by the new turbo saddle.

The pre 2008 Flite Trans Am Gel Flow works perfectly for me-I even have a reserve of 7 saddles. So, I am always on the look out for a new saddle that might work the same when my stash runs out.

The Turbomatic Gel Flow looks similair to the FTAGF-I will be anxious to try it out. Thanks for the heads up.

Why, did they have to bring that saddle back with carbon rails? The turbomatic 4 was my favorite saddle ever. If this had Ti rails I'd buy one in a second.

I have about 10 road bikes in my stable and each wears a Selle Italia Turbomatic Saddle in one edition or another. Jeff N.

Thanks, I just checked it out. The only difference is the older model used real leather and the new one uses synthetic leather. I don't know if I would notice the difference. I don't suppose you have tried one?

Selle Italia needs more saddles (including the newer models) with titanium rails.

You might also try the Charge Bucket saddle. They are quite cheap, and are available in lots of colours. Apparently, they use one of the original Turbo moulds.
