Stracciatella

A new flavor in comfort


Our classic, creamy foam stuffed with tasty chips of used saddles—Stracciatella technology is our way of turning discarded and defective saddles into something brand new, creating comfort while cutting waste.


Throwing away a saddle has always been a pity

Saddles are built to be long-lasting riding companions, which means they are assembled from strong materials.

At Selle Royal, we’ve found a smart way to give old saddles new life—whether they’re damaged or simply worn out.

How to Make Real Stracciatella Padding

How do we make genuine Stracciatella padding? It’s simple.

  • First, we hunt down used saddles and leftover scraps from our production and test labs—saddles with stories, scraps with potential.
  • Then we throw everything into the grinder and—vroom!
  • It’s transformed into a smooth, fine powder. Like magic, but with machines. That powder gets mixed straight into our creamy saddle foam, giving it texture, character, and a second shot at life.

The result? A saddle that’s comfy, cool, and proud to be recycled. Less waste, more style—that’s how we roll.

 

 

No compromises on comfort

Stracciatella is a bold move toward sustainability—but let’s be clear, we’re not giving an inch on comfort. Never have, never will.

Comfort is at the heart of every saddle we make, and it’ll stay that way as we ride full speed. Because doing good should feel good, too!

Time to give it a taste!


Our most iconic saddle range now features a refreshed look and recycled heart.
We’ve selected the Lookin family as the first saddles to feature our new Stracciatella technology, providing the same long-lasting Selle Royal comfort in a more sustainable form. 



Not the final destination, but another stroke of the pedals towards a more responsible cycling future.
