Quick Summary
Additional Context
Selle Italia has introduced Unica, a 3D printed saddle built around pressure data collected from each individual rider instead of a fixed set of cushioning zones. The saddle is available on two existing shapes, the SLR 3D and the Novus Boost Evo 3D, each offered with a choice of Carbon or Elite rails.
Building the Saddle Around Rider-Specific Pressure Data
The process begins with the idmatch pressure mapping system, which records where and how a rider’s weight is distributed on the saddle. That data is then used to engineer an internal lattice structure specific to the individual, a than applying one of several predefined padding patterns as is common with other 3D printed saddles on the market. The external shape of the saddle stays the same as the selected base model; only the internal
