The boutique tool specialists at Silca have added a super-sized seat roll to their line. The Grande Americano is a larger version of the company’s Seat Roll Premio. Like its smaller sibling, the Grande Americano uses a Boa closure to hold the roll snugly against the saddle rails.

The Grande Americano can hold two road tubes, a multi-tool, tire levers and CO2. If you’re more off-road inclined, you can swap the two road tubes for a single mountain bike tube up to 29x2.5in in size.

This three-pocket pouch is constructed from 1000D ballistic nylon with a water-repellent finish.

The Grande Americano is available now and retails for $58 / £42 / AU$75. Visit https://silca.cc for more information.
