Selle Italia has unveiled the UNICA range, a line of 3D-printed saddles tailored to individual riders through advanced pressure mapping technology. Unlike traditional saddles with predefined cushioning zones, UNICA’s design is based on each rider’s unique anatomical data, ensuring optimal comfort and performance. (selleitalia.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The UNICA Process:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Biomechanical Assessment:<\/strong> At an authorized center, a bike fitter captures your riding posture using a digital camera and employs the idmatch Pressure Map System to analyze pressure distribution across the saddle. (selleitalia.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Custom Manufacturing:<\/strong> The collected data is sent to Selle Italia, where a bespoke 3D lattice structure is created, adjusting the saddle’s internal padding to match your pressure points. (selleitalia.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Professional Fitting:<\/strong> Approximately three weeks later, the personalized saddle arrives at the center. The bike fitter installs it and fine-tunes the fit to your bike, ensuring precise biomechanical alignment. (selleitalia.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The UNICA service is currently available for three Selle Italia saddle models: SLR 3D Carbon, SLR 3D Elite, and Novus Boost Evo 3D. Each model offers a choice between carbon or metal rails. A custom 3D-printed saddle with carbon rails is priced at \u20ac599, while the metal rail version is \u20ac499. (selleitalia.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n
