Selle SMP Pro

Price Paid:  $0.00

Bike Setup:
Orbea-Opal 06, mix of ultegra and dura-ace. Started with a triple crank, now on a standard double. Dimensions - 51cm top tube, 170mm crank, 110mm stem.

Summary:
This is how saddles should be designed and built after the anatomical knowledge we now have on the perennial nerve, the family jewels, etc. It did take a while to get used to it, and took longer to get the right adjustment made. The saddle has a curved countour, where it crests at the back, dips, then crests again toward the nose area. Make sure that these crest points are leveled such that their heights are about the same. You can use a leveler for this.

Strengths:
Sitting on it, and have that feeling of being gently but firmly cradled, and not squished. It's makes you wanna keep riding.

Weaknesses:
Price, but this may be due to the design.

Bike Setup:

Summary:
Wanted it to work, because I have tried almost all the top models. Way to hard, love the cut out and the nose down, got the correct width but too hard.

Strengths:
cut out

Weaknesses:
Too hard.
