Selle San Marco REGALe Team Racing


Just arrived at my clinic, will be mounted on the Colnago C50 tonight. I am so excited.... ;)

Evolution is what the “e” stands for in the new Selle San Marco's REGALe saddle. It’s much like the classic San Marcos Regal that has had a strong and loyal following. But with time comes evolution, and that’s what the REGALe is all about.

Still adorned with the signature six rivets, the REGALe screams vintage, exudes style and retains the quality of yesteryear but with a weight savings of a whopping 150grams! That’s like it lost the weight of a whole other saddle! Soft as ever, the cover is made from long wearing, light microfeel that is supple to the touch.

At 148mm wide, the REGALe is the same width as its predecessor, the Regal and the San Marco Rolls. The San Marco Regal design has been around longer than this anatomically designed craze we’re immersed in; which is a great bonus for those of us who do not fit the anatomical models. There is no center ridge; the top is flat and the rear is big. Let’s say big one more time, for effect. BIG! Yet now the amazing weight savings makes it accessible to even the weight weenies of this wonderful world.

As I always say, choosing a saddle is an extremely personal choice. The San Marco Regal has been said to be one of those models that you just keep going back to because it is so well tested over time, comfortable and will last for years. The REGALe will get the same reviews.

At only 220 grams, the REGALe will give you everything you desire in a great saddle. Providing it fits your butt.
