I love this seat and have had most of my friends switch to it. I ride the pro that is 143mm wide because of my sit bones. They make different models and widths. Measure your sit bones and get the model for you. They recommend 500 miles on break in.
Was not having a great time with my stock seat (ProLogo Scratch Pro). Was not able to ride for long periods without discomfort due to the seats 134mm width. Researched and demo'd a few seats including Fizik Aliante. It was better but not quite what I was looking for. Made the choice on the Selle SMP Pro and was amazed at the difference. The width is perfect for me, the cut out is well appreciated, and the styling is very cool. I couldn't be happier. Great saddle!
I was having upper back and neck pains, common to long riding cyclists. My first ride on this saddle I noticed a 90% reduction on upper neck and upper back soreness. The feel of the saddle is outstanding. Prior criticisms I'd read of this saddle such as not be able to steer the bike w your legs because of the point down nose of the saddle are unfounded in my experience. It's simply an outstandingly engineered product and I appreciate you offering the product for sale.
All bicycle seats are made in hell, except these. Selle SMP saddles are made in heaven
I have approximately 150 miles on the new saddle and the jury is still out.
I've made a number of adjustments (height, angle, forward and back) and can't seem to find the sweet spot. I may also not quite qualify as a Clyde either, as the Pro seat seems a bit wide. The raised lettering is also an issue from time-to-time, I can feel it occasionally through my riding shorts.
I do believe that the design has reduced numbness which was one major goal in purchasing this saddle.
I'm going to give the saddle some more time and hold out the hope that I will get the set-up right.
I've had prostate problems, and this seat eliminates the pressure. I've given my doctor the info so that he can recommend the seat to other patients. Highly recommend.
i'm 6'4, 240. it works for me. wide saddle is very comfortable. i really doubt that a 5'6 140 beanpole wold get much outta this. i had my doubts at first - have to set the height by leg extension - not measure. once i got it right, it's perfect. i ride 5000year and about 10 centruies, i'm 58.
I've logged about 1000 miles on this seat so far and the boys and I really like it. Great on short and long rides and is very comfortable. I would highly recommend this seat if your privates take a nap during a long ride. Very high quality materials. When I got clipped by a truck a couple of months ago the seat came thru in perfect condition. Wish my leg had.
I did get that advice from my urologist who is also an avid cyclist. He pulled up the Selle SMP website and showed me all the different models. Said I should have one for all my bikes. I thought at the time that it was too expensive and didn't look right. Later, I found one of the molded Selle SMP models that was cheaper and tried it. I now have 4 Selle SMPs, one for each road bike and two for the tandem. The shape works, all the weight goes to the sit bones and none to the important bits. No numbness and no saddle sores. Wish I had found this saddle years ago!
