Maybe Selle weighs their saddles in lower gravity environment
Edit: please don't repost pictures from the same thread, thanks! Powerful Pete

They print "=/- 8%" on a lot of their marketing material but 8% is an unheard of margin of error for manufacturing. I think like you said Robroyski is right, it's marketing...

If the grand tours are like classical music, kermesse racing is punkrock, Belgian style.
