Is this the ultimate comfort hack for Unbound Gravel?

Let’s face it—350, or 200, or any number miles on gravel is not a cushy ride. Between the endless bumps, sharp flint, and hours in the saddle, your backside takes a beating. Enter the Selle Anatomica X1, a potentially game-changing piece of gear that could be the difference between finishing strong and limping home at Unbound Gravel.

The ergonomically designed Selle Anatomica X1 split saddle with a sleek black finish and copper accents will have you both comfy and standing out on your next ride.

What makes the X1 stand out? Its leather hammock-style design literally flexes with your body, absorbing vibrations and reducing pressure on your sit bones. Riders report it's like riding on a cloud. Unlike rigid saddles that force your body to adapt, the X1 adapts to you, molding over time for a custom fit.

The X1 also offers a shorter break-in time compared to other leather saddles and features a reinforced frame, making it tough enough to handle the sharp rocks and unpredictable terrain of Unbound Gravel.

Of course, every rider has their favorite saddle, and comfort is subjective. What works for one butt might not work for another. Have you tried the Selle Anatomica X1? Or do you swear by a different saddle? Let us know in the comments—we’d love to hear your thoughts and saddle hacks!
