Selle Italia Turbo 1980 Saddle Created in 1980, the Turbo was the first fully-anatomic saddle, a landmark in the history of Selle Italia and an international success. Only two years after its launch it was already the saddle of choice for world-famous cyclists such as the late (great) Fignon, Lemond and Indurain. Selle Italia has now re-launched the Turbo with all the characteristics of the original.
