SMP4Bike Selle SMP TRK Medium Saddle,Black,28.0 x 16.0-cm

I had another Selle smp saddle which was good but not quite wide enough so decided to try the TRK. I love the shape which eliminates any sliding back and forth yet due to the large cut out doesn't place any pressure where you don't want it. I am riding this saddle on a drop bar gravel bike and it's as good on the drops as it is sitting up on the hoods. So far very pleased with it. Amazon price was the best by some way also.

I’ve tried numerous saddles to try and find one that doesn’t put pressure on the perineum ,I took a look at this saddle and thought it’s so wierdly shaped it can’t work ,I’m happy to say it did work which makes cycling so much more comfortable ,this saddle is on a rigid steel framed touring bike ,I find this so comfortable I’m thinking of buying another as a back up ,although I can recommend this saddle whole heartedly because it works for me I’ll just say we’re all built differently so I can’t guarantee it’ll work for everyone looking for relief on the old perineum,but I do recommend you measure your sit bones before buying the right size if you decide to buy one of these great saddles.

I see that the description has been modified, but when I bought it it was mis-sold as 'gel'. It is NOT gel-filled, there's a (more expensive) variant of this saddle with gel, though it will also be somewhat heavier.That said, the 'end uder' (not me!) was very happy with the comfort, and the only other doubt I have is that it doesn't look very sturdy (in terms of how long it will survive). But yes, comfortable.

You'll see I don't write many reviews BUT this time things need to be said. I've always loved cycling but could never ride for very long because my sit bones would feel like they had been tenderised with Thor's hammer. I'd never tried a new saddle before and assumed that as this was always my experience on every bike (road and mtb) that it was just the price I paid for enjoying the sport and that I must have a particularly sensitive undercarriage. That said, I've never experienced perineal pain or numb willy syndrome - just agonising sit bones. I feel it worth mentioning that I'm not overly blessed with gluteal muscles. I'm in reasonable shape but my bum is small and provides minimal padding. This may be part of the issue... However - I got so fed up with feeling like I'd been spanked by big Bernard at the local torture dungeon that I decided to gamble £40 on one of these saddles. I'm writing this in my car after 15km on the trails at Swinley forest. Usually at this point I'd be dreaming of a donut cushion and readying myself for a post shower application of tea tree oil and arnica... but I feel fine. I could go out and ride the same bouncy Red trails again and it's because of this saddle. In comparison to Thor's hammer, I feel like my cheeks spent the last hour and a half being carefully cupped by a gentle and loving siren of the forest...So is this review a bit over the top?... yes of course it is... but I should have bought one of these selle saddles years ago. It's pretty heavy so not one for the gram counters but I'd honestly still use it if it weighed another 500g because I could double my mileage and still not have a sore bum. I can't guarantee it'll do the same for you but if you have a skinny bum and your sit bones hurt for days after a ride like mine did, this might be worth a try.

Really comfy

I tried, but found it uncomfortable, however friends have the same saddle and swear by it

I got these for my adventure holiday 640km bike ride from Vietnam to Cambodia. 5 days on this saddle was the most comfortable ride I ever had. I would recommend this if you are looking for comfort.Tips. make sure you till the seat just ever so slightly back a bit. It just cups my bottom perfectly.

I aimed to swap out my stock Peloton saddle since I couldn't adjust to it even after a year. Although this new saddle isn't the perfect solution, it is certainly an improvement over the Peloton one in terms of price and comfort, at least from my perspective.
