Selle San Marco Regal

BikeRadar verdict

35 out of 5 stars

"Classic looks with good comfort performance and high quality build"

Wed 22 Oct 2008, 2:00 pm UTCBy Paul Smith, Cycling Plus

With relatively thin padding and a printed leather covering the Regal looks a little uncomfortable, but looks are deceiving.

Much like the classic Selle San Marco Rolls, the comfort comes from the forgiving hull, yet the Regal remains stable enough for those long distance performance riders.

If your thighs tend to rub on your saddle, this might not be the one for you, as one of our testers noted some inner thigh chafing after a long ride.

Once the leather gets worn in, though, this shouldn’t be a problem at all, much like the classic Rolls which does the same until the leather surface is worn smooth.
