Selle SMP saddles continue to be some of our best sellers and the quality and detail are what you would expect from a brand building high-quality saddles by hand in Italy since 1947. Many of our most discerning customers are attracted to its lightweight materials, appropriate padding, and unique shapes yielding a highly comfortable ride. The saddle here, is the Men’s Vulkor Saddle that’s based on the Composit shell but drops the padding for those who prefer a firmer feel and want to further drop some grams. What remains consistent is SMP’s signature drop nose, a design that might look odd compared to other saddles, but when riding, most cyclists rave about the comfort and wish they found out about it sooner.
This Vulkor’s carbon-reinforced shell, fixing plates, and minimal padding keeps the weight low and its stainless steel rails boost durability on this 235-gram saddle. Selle SMP adds some raised stitching across the saddle’s cover adding a touch of functional grip and a wonderful aesthetic. That cover comes in either soft, real leather on the black model or durable, synthetic microfiber on the color versions.
The Vulkor sits in the medium to wider shell width in the Selle SMP lineup with the brand using the cyclist’s pant size as the recommended sizing structure when selecting a saddle. That being said, if you’re between a 32-37-inch waist size, chances are good that the 136mm wide Vulkor will work for you. It does eschew padding altogether, so it’s for the type of rider who prefers to feel as much of the road as possible or just let your chamois handle the padding duties.
The saddle’s sloping nose provides a flat base to support the ischium while alleviating pressure on sensitive bits, regardless of your saddle to bar differential. The Vulkor also features SMP’s pronounced central channel, which further reduces pressure on the pudendal nerve and surrounding soft tissue. The raised tail helps coach the hips into a forward rotation for more efficient pedaling, a position that also keeps body weight divided between the rear and lower part of the ischial tuberosity region. This shape also helps reduce overall pressure on the coccyx while riding over rough surfaces so you can sit in with the bunch and launch a well-timed attack over the pavé sectors that define your rides or races.
So these sounds are really specific. First of all they are to say we have a. Very special design patented. Design why we start from the assumption. That cycling must be a pleasure so we. Have very specific and exclusive. Features on all of our selves first of all there’s the complete open cutout from the back up to the nose you can. Find many saddles with just a hole in the middle but the most important part where the carrot must be is the front why because most of pressure on your perineal area and private parts is concentrated here while riding and this. Is what this is one of the things that make our service different from the others another thing is the nose. Dropping down so it’s very important to. Avoid any pressure on your private parts. And per unit area again so to get a better comfort and better performance as well as you can see maybe some of them. Some people they know our curved shape. Which features most of our models why. Because in this way when sitting on the. Saddle when riding there’s a better. Match between the shape of the ischial generosities and the surface of the. Saddle so no matter we’ll wash your. Pelvis rotation depending on your. Position on the bike but you can have a perfect match between them moving pressure from the private parts to the. Ischial generosities which is the only good place where pressure must be. But we’re gonna launch a new. Concept a new evolution in the concept of smb which is yes 30c ok as you can. See first of all differently from our. Traditional concept is not curved but. It’s flatter why because if some users. Need to get a better support thanks to. This shape so from between your ischial. Generosities and especially the back up back part of the saddle having a very solid position of the on the bike. Some others they need to be more. Especially mentally they wanna be more free to move by riding and in this way. They can have the maximum freedom of. Movement no matter what the position they assume on the bike, and we have two. Versions of these thank you very much is. The f30 so it’s the same sub in two. Different lines, so we have all the options available for customers to. Get onboard on these new models and the. Main thing is that you have on both versions you have a wide sitting surface. On the back for easier to grow this but in the same time you have a very lean. Shape in the central part of the saddle and on front as well so you don’t. Scratch with your lights against the saddle so everybody it doesn’t matter what the body configuration can use these models with satisfaction so it’s a kind. Of universal new concept which can fit. Everybody and it depends on if they prefer. A short or a long shadow.
Yeah I’m here with dave from smp saddles. And he’s gonna tell us about a great new triathlon saddle they’re pretty well. Known for the road saddle and once you. First just explain leave the difference between your road family saddles and the. New try family saddles sure and how that perhaps compares to the competition sure well stella smp has been making. Saddles 100% in italy since 1947 and. Since 2004 most people no sell a snp for. Their very curved patented design that. Cradles the entire pelvic structure offering 100% blood flow related. Elimination of pain numbness there’s no. Impingement of the pudendal nerve and a very distinct unique shape in the road. Mountain bike cyclotrons travel world. And a few years ago the project was. Undertaken to bring all the health comfort and performance benefits from. Their patented saddles in the road world. Of mountain bike world and offer those same benefits in the triathlon world in the time trial world and the t series or. Triathlon series of saddles was introduced with t1 through t5 saddles. Now offering the optimum size of saddle. Level of padding in the saddle for each. Individual rider and in comparison will. See that the t series saddles appear. To be much flatter in profile versus the. Curve bruce impose however the. Technology of the foam and the. Creation of the foam or the padding that’s used specific for the needs of the triathlete or the aero bar athlete. Once they’re rotated forward moving forward sliding forward in that arrow position offers the same pelvic. Stability seen elimination of numbness. Because there’s no compression of soft tissue which is the same for men and. Women it’s not a male or female specific. Saddle it’s a human specific saddle and. The scene whose benefits apply we want. To support the weight of the rider completely on the bone structure and. Illuminate any contact to the soft tissue optimally size and fit the rider. Depending on if they’re you know very small. And petite or on the other end of the. Size scale, so we can support that but dave i think we’re all familiar with. Most triathletes the is and the da mo’s saddle which has really no support on the front of it and the beef most. People have is that it’s wide in the. Nose and it rubs on some people’s v so how does this compare the tri saddle to. The highest sense though well i think the most important thing to understand. Is that there’s two standout features. That separate you know what is become a. Very popular saddle in the triathlon world to new technology and benefits the. First being the series of saddles that. Run from the t3 which is going to be. This saddle which is the smallest narrowest in the line and all the way up. To the t1 which is the other side which is the largest so each individual. Rider can find the saddle that fits them. Proportionally that’s optimum meaning we. Don’t want to put the very large athlete. On the very narrowest saddle or vice versa because they interact with the saddle differently there the proportions aren’t the same between. Those two athletes so we can optimally. Match the size of the athlete to the size of the saddle level of padding. Whether you prefer a little bit more minimalistic level padding to a greater. Degree of padding a little bit softer. Level the other most important thing is that the saddle itself is connected both at. The front and at the back so the shell of the saddle continues and the easy to. See on the road line the eagle beatin design which is very distinctive continues the shell of the saddle and. Gives you greater pelvic stability because you don’t introduce the chance of the saddle becoming out of plane. Whether that’s from rider weight from pedaling from the forces of the seat post. Causing the saddle to separate or to. Move and so by continuing this shell it. Bends out of the way so there’s no contact with the body same thing applies from the road line to the tribe line that you still get a modified eagle beat. Design so this is bending out of the way but the shell continued so you keep. Pelvic stability and pelvic integrity both at the front of the saddle the back. Of the saddle seat post clamping forces. Can’t distort the saddle pedaling forces can’t distort the saddle so you maintain optimum stability optimum comfort optimal performance well that’s awesome. I got just one question though did they only come in these colors well the very. Distinct red and yellow are our test saddles so you can come in and try them out for yourself and then, and then we know if we lost our tests out that’s right can’t get mixed up in the studio and then as far as regular saddles they. Come in black white or the fluoro yellow. Fluorescent color ok thanks a lot dave, so we’re gonna have these test saddles at our trek locations, and we do pro bike. Fitting that’s all part of getting set up correctly on the bike having the right saddle as well so come on in. Check out these new saddles, and we hope to see you soon thank you.

Hi I’m robbed from we keep you cycling and. Today the smp dragon saddle the smp. Dragon saddle falls between the dynamic and the light 209 in their 3.0 lineup if. You recall a few years ago they launched the form of dynamic in light 209 to. Cover off the gap between the glider and the pro the former was unpadded great. For folks who liked firm and light saddles the dynamic offered a good. Amount of padding very similar to their evolution but it wasn’t quite soft enough for folks who have tender sit bones so the light 209 has a good amount. Of padding but you may find that the. Light 209 has too much padding and the dynamic has too little padding taking. Our feedback and the feedback of pros smp launched the drake on the dragon. Retains the four key characteristics we’ve come to expect from smp first we have the end-to-end channel for pressure relief on any part of the saddle we have. The beat nose which relieves pressure on the front of your crotch whether they’re hanging off the nose or in an aggressive position like climbing we have great sit. Bone support towards the rear of the saddle and of course the dip to follow. The contours of your body well the saddle is one millimeter narrower and two millimeters longer than the lite 209 i don’t think you’re going to notice that while riding you are going to notice the increased amount of padding over the dynamic but still having less padding than the light 209 more on par with what we consider to be. A traditional amount of padding keep in mind its high-density foam so it visually looks to be more padded than it’s going to feel smp incorporated some. Of our feedback into the dragon and created a larger flat section in the. Middle of the saddle if you’ve seen some of my other reviews you know i ride the glider and i write it noses down to create a nice flat mid section to move around on the dragon with its larger flat section allows you to drop that note and pick up a larger section to. Move for and aft this promotes movement of course but also allows you to transfer more of your weight towards the rear of the saddle flipping the saddle over reveals the same eight centimeters. Of clamp obul surface on the rails too to move that saddle fore-and-aft to dial in your position like no other saddle of course on the rear of the saddle here. You have a limitation on saddlebags. Because of the design of the rails a lot of the hard clamp on types aren’t supported so i recommend that you use a saddle bag that has a velcro strap to it. Of course my only downside to these. Saddles is typically the weight is a lot heavier at 310 grams the dragon is on the heavier side when we have a lot of saddles coming in between 150 and 220. Grams however you’re not going to find a. Saddle that is more anatomically correct so the weight may be a factor but I’d. Highly suggest that you talk to us about picking the right saddle to fit you over the saddle weight I’m robbed with me keep. You cycle and this is the smp dragon if you have any questions about the dragon or any of the smp saddles we carry drop us a line or email us info at. We keep you cycling calm.
With all of the saddles in Selle SMP’s range, picking out which one might work best for you might be a daunting task, but we’re here to help. By now you’ve been drawn to its striking shape and you’ve seen plenty on the road so you know there has to be some substance to its unique shapes and pressure-relieving profiles. In fact, most cyclists that try the saddles are immediately hooked and the only complaint we hear is how long it took them to discover Selle SMP. So with all Selle SMP saddle, the two things you’ll want to consider are the amount of padding and choose your preference there, and use your pant size which corresponds to certain saddles that Selle SMP recommends. This saddle, the Men’s Nymber Saddle, has a slight amount of padding which helps to keep the weight low and is recommended for cyclists with a 32-37-inch waistline.
The Nymber is quite versatile and is recommended for road, cross-country, and tri use. Its nose utilizes the unique Selle SMP signature “beak” shape that provides a flat foundation while seated, but unlike many flatter profile saddles, it helps reduce pressure on soft tissues. SMP’s central channel is also incorporated, for further pressure reduction on the pudendal nerve and surrounding sensitive areas. The back of the saddle features pronounced ramping providing a perch for pushing against on the climbs and helps better divide body weight over your ischial tuberosity on either side of the channel. Furthermore, the shape reduces the overall pressure on the coccyx, increasing comfort on those long days especially over chattery roads.
The saddle uses a soft leather cover on the black version and a durable Lorica microfiber on the versions in colors. Underneath that covering is thin, elastomer foam padding for long-lasting comfort on broken tarmac and gravel, while the carbon-reinforced nylon shell is anchored into stainless steel rails that reduce corrosion while adding exceptional durability.
The Selle SMP Nymber comes in at 267mm long and 139mm wide and in a host of colors. It’s handmade in Italy and has a claimed weight of 285-grams.

With its lightweight but sturdy construction, a sleek shape, and a futuristic independent flex design, the SP-01 Kit Carbonio Superflow Saddle is a result of ongoing product research into more effective saddle designs by Selle Italia, one of the industry leaders in high-performance cycling saddles. By introducing an innovative rear frame that allows independent flex of the left and right sides of the saddle, the SP-01 Kit Carbonio Superflow more effectively supports the alternating motions of your hips while pedaling, improving overall comfort without compromising stability when it’s time to put power down to the pedals. And by pairing this technology with a large center cutout that relieves perineal pressure, the saddle further improves comfort by helping reduce the numbness or pain that can result from prolonged pressure to this soft tissue region over the course of a longer ride.
The SP-01 series of saddles are constructed from a variety of different materials at different price points, and the SP-01 Kit Carbonio Superflow sits near the top of the lineup right below the featherweight Tekno version. Though it weighs roughly 25g more than the top-of-the-line SP-01 Tekno, it’s rated for both on and off-road use whereas the Tekno is recommended for road use only and has a rider weight limit. By using CarboKeramic rails and a shell comprised of a carbon fiber/nylon blend, Selle Italia is still able to achieve an impressive weight, but without any durability concerns or a rider weight limit. The SP-01 Kit Carbonio Superflow comes in two sizes to fit most rider’s sit bone widths, and uses Selle Italia’s signature Fibra-Tek microfiber cover that resists tearing and abrasion for outstanding longevity.
Hi i’m rob with me. And today the cell italia slr superflow. In both the 130 and the 145 the. Superflow might be cell italia’s most. Revolutionary saddle since the creation of the flight in the early 90s it. Signifies a change but just five years. Ago the company was on the fence as to whether sit bone with mattered when it came to saddle fit and there was a lot. Of discussion internally as to whether cut outs actually made a difference for. Numbness or soft tissue pressure we now have one model available in two. Different sizes we have the 130 and the. 145 this signifies that the company has. Finally caved to the notion that not one. Size for every rider but that one model. Should be made in a variety of sizes to. Provide comfort for different riding positions and different sit bone widths it also comes with their largest cut out. They’ve ever made it starts just behind. The nose and goes almost all the way to. The rear the cut at the front is just under 19 millimeters wide and gets as. Wide as 34.7 at the rear and is a. Whopping 194 millimeters in length it’s. Almost the entire length of the saddle and it’s a first for them it’s covered. In their standard high density eva padding so while it’s firm it provides. Just enough sit bone support and give so. That as not to fatigue you and it’s wrapped in genuine leather the shell. Features their 30 percent carbon. Composite with titanium rails connected. So there’s a little bit of give which provides additional comfort and it’s extremely lightweight in the 130 we see. Most riders with an aggressive position or narrow sit bones and this is going to. Standard for the slr shape now if you. Need a wider saddle slightly more upright position or slightly wider sit bones and previously weren’t able to fit on the slr you have the 145 it’s 15. Millimeters wider and it is intended to meet the riders who other i found the smaller slr shape of the past to be too narrow and didn’t provide. Enough sit bone support for them the additional width is made up with a larger wing section here the cutout itself does not change in proportion to. The width keep in mind it does keep the. Slr hallmark characteristics it’s flat. Across the top here it’s got a gentle. Give for the wing but it’s a largely. Flat saddle at the rear and it has a get out of the way nose so it’s a little on. The narrower side in both sizes i’m. Going to tell you that while you’re hanging off the front of the saddle that cutout is not so effective i’m rob if we. Keep you cycling and this is sell italians slr superflow in the 130 and. The 145 with you have any questions. About these saddles or any of the saddles we carry drop us a line or email us info at we keep you cycling calm.
The Selle Italia C2 Gel Flow Saddle blurs the lines between a firm race saddle and a comfort-oriented setup. The anatomic cutout and gel padding reduce the incidence of hotspots, while the manganese rails and leather top ensure that the C2 Gel Flow is built to put in the miles. So, if you find a rock-hard racing saddle to be too minimalist, but you still want a supportive saddle, you’ve just found a match.
The comfort of the C2 saddle starts with its nylon shell. It’s designed to provide plenty of support for pedaling all-day, but it has enough flex built-in to cancel out most chatter and road vibration. The targeting padding tells a similar story — it’s supportive, but with plenty of give. It starts with an extra dose of foam as compared to Selle Italia’s race-driven saddles, and it’s topped off with a thin layer of gel. The gel used here is a far cry from the seat covers that you’ve seen. Instead of feeling like a bar stool, the C2 uses just enough padding to take the sting out of the roughest roads and bumpiest trails. However, it’s still firm enough to protect you from hot spots. Additionally, the shape of the saddle naturally directs your body weight towards the rear of the saddle where your sit bones are able to take the brunt of support. And to make this more comfortable, the C2 features a 136mm width — that’s around 5mm wider than the SLR linen of saddles.
Differentiating itself from the standard C2 Genuine Gel saddle, the Flow features a respectably sized cutout. As a result, that pressure is directed to your sit bones (ischial tuberosity), which are far more adept at supporting your body weight. Additionally, they’re able to do so without causing numbness during long rides. This principle is further supported by the wide cut out, as it removes pressure from the pudendal nerve. Essentially, this is a nerve that runs from around the third vertebrae, all the way down towards your foot. And when compressed at the perineum region, it is one of the major contributors to numbness. So, by relieving the very threat of pressure, your blood flow remains consistent, eliminating numbness.
Supporting the saddle itself are Selle Italia’s Manganese Tube rails. These rails are lightweight, but they’re also strong enough for off-road use. And on the topic of durability, the perforated leather cover not only breathes to keep you cool, but it’s hard wearing and naturally abrasion-resistant.
The Selle Italia C2 Gel Flow Saddle is available in a 136x276mm size and in the color Black.
Welcome back fellow subscribers and other you tubers in this video I’m going to do a review of bs le italia max slr. Gel flow seat now this seat i recently. Got to replace my previous bicycle seat was just a stock seat it didn’t really fit me too well and i felt really uncomfortable riding the bicycle over about i want to say like 45 minutes and about an hour mark it would get really painful so i decided to stop by my local bike shop and pick this guy up now the. Primary reason i picked it up first of all is of course this thing is bedded so it’s got some gel and just got a little bit on the back and then also some towards the middle right here but the most important part actually is the channel that you see right here it’s a pretty big channel makes it so that basically your prostate doesn’t hurt nearly as much when you’re riding but also it puts much less pressure on your cheeks so that helps quite a bit it’s. Also kind of wider seat so if you’re a. Slightly bigger guy this might be the seat for you i am smaller but i. Do need the extra width on the seat on the back to make it you know a lot better now something else is really great about this seat is that it’s got binocs rails I’m probably completely butchering that but these rails right here you can hopefully see it says faint ox right there they basically absorb a. Lot of vibration while you’re writing as you can see it’s a really slim profile seat there’s not a lot of padding to it and if your bike is a standard road bike like mine then chances are you probably don’t have much of a suspension on and going so any bump that you take on the road is probably going to be absorbed by these rails most likely now. The reason why I’m going to be actually. Selling this seat is because for me personally it didn’t quite match up to what i wanted my seat to be meaning that. It does get quite uncomfortable still after a little bit but with seats like this if you’re not used to a road-going seat then basically you have to kind of give yourself some time you have to. Basically break the seat in for a couple of weeks also kinda have to break your butt in as well so that’s something else to look to when buying a road-going seat like this now the build quality is really great even though this isn’t genuine leather it’s put together really. Well and you’ve not only been riding for about a week it doesn’t look like there’re any scuffs on the seat at all really good build quality really fairly comfortable seat actually and it’s got a great profile so if you have aerodynamics in mind this seats definitely the way to go now something else i got to mention the see this is really light it’s only 250 grams so. That’s something that you might want to keep in mind as well and last but not least if you’re looking for a seat this size this one is in all three now they. Do have a bunch of them they have the l 2 they have the l 1 the s3 s2 and the. S-1 all of which kind of in descending. Order from this one this is if you’re a smaller person might want to look to a smaller seat and again you can check for the specifics on the assembly italia site but basically this is what it is i. Give the seat probably a good 8 out of 10 for overall build quality and comfort. It’s not quite this seat for me I’ll be getting a different one and doing a review of that later on but hopefully this helps those of you guys out shopping for a nice bicycle seat for this summer thank you guys and I’ll see you in my next video.

The Fabric Scoop Ultimate saddle uses top-shelf materials and a simple design to keep things light and comfortable. The Scoop saddle comes in four varieties: Elite, Race, Pro, and Ultimate. The Scoop Ultimate starts with carbon fiber rails and a carbon fiber base.
Fabric says its Scoop Saddle is “designed for everyone,” and that’s exactly what it is. Like many of today’s bicycle saddles, the Scoop is designed to work with road, mountain, or cyclocross bikes. Unlike many of today’s saddles, however, the Scoop gives you options for fit, feel, and style. You can choose between two different base materials for the Scoop saddle: nylon or carbon fiber. The Scoop Ultimate comes with a carbon fiber base. This base is both lightweight and comfortable. The Scoop also offers three different rail material options. The Ultimate model comes with Fabric’s 9mm oval carbon fiber rails, which are both the lightest and stiffest in the line.
The Scoop saddle comes in three different shapes, which vary in curvature from tip to tail. The three shapes are Flat, Shallow, and Radius. Which saddle you choose depends on which saddle is most comfortable for your body type. All of Fabric’s Scoop saddles feature dense polyurethane foam for cushioning and a waterproof microfiber shell fabric, which is available in either white or black.
The Pure Pro Saddle is a little bit plusher than most of WTB’s other offerings, but it doesn’t have a significant weight penalty as a result of the extra cushioning. With its Cro-Moly steel rails, the Pro weighs 263g, which isn’t featherlight but won’t slow you down on cross-country or all-mountain rides. It’s dropped nose and rising whale-tail back prevent short hang-ups and give you a platform to push against when you’re climbing, and the Flex-Tuned shell blends suppleness and responsiveness so you have great feel without getting hammered to smithereens on rough trails. WTB also outfitted the Pure Pro with its DNA padding, which conforms to your anatomy almost like memory foam to relieve pressure points and keep you feeling fresh for the long haul.
You know the killer grips and the awesome mountain bike saddles, but Ergon’s branching out into the road market with the SR3 Pro Carbon Saddle, which delivers the comfort that the company is known for in a sleek, light, and powerful package that’s made for the tarmac. As the name suggests, Ergon places comfort above all else, so it used extensive analysis to map out the carbon-fiber shell, resulting in “hollows” that provide a comfortable pocket for your sit bones.
The shell is covered with thin progressive dampening layers to help reduce road vibration, and finished with a nose-mounted micro damper that takes smoothness to the next level. Even better, the shell is designed to float independently of the rails, which makes it one of the most forgiving saddles on the market. The carbon fiber fails are light and strong, obviously, but they also offer 30mm of fore-aft adjustment to help you nail the fit, and the synthetic leather is easy to clean and finished with a silicone coating on the sides, which lets your legs slide easily over the cover without getting irritated.
We know The Rules dictate white bar tape if you want to look pro and also stipulates that said tape must match the saddle, so if you’re looking to complete the look and you’re a fan of its shape, please check out the Arione R3 Open White Edition Saddle from Fi’zi:k. Always a perennial favorite in the pro peloton, this version of the Arione receives pressure-relieving cutouts for comfort over long distance training and racing. By combining this anatomic cutout design with a classic shape in two widths, many find the Arione R3 Open Saddle as a friendly perch for 5-hour long base rides and 1-hour criteriums alike.
Even though saddle selection is highly personal, we feel like there is some takeaway from riders who rack up more miles in one season then we will in a few. Thus, the Arione R3 Open Saddle is a performance-oriented road saddle for riders who want a flat saddle profile with a cut-out to avoid pressure and numbness. If you always wanted to upgrade from your stock saddle to a more highly-tuned one, this saddle should be one to consider. It represents Fi’zi:k’s sleek design and top-quality craftsmanship at a price that isn’t astronomical. The white Microtex cover is easy to care for, as is the k:ium rails and the carbon-reinforced nylon shell drops grams while offering the ideal foundation for dishing out the watts.
For those of you who want the benefits of a Selle SMP saddle but can’t quite come to terms with the looks comes the F30 C Carbon Rail Saddle. This saddle has a more compact, “stub-nose” shape without quite the exaggerated drop nose but make no mistake, it’s all Selle SMP. Those unique design features provide greater riding comfort while deep in the drops versus conventional saddles and provide the ability to move about, finding a perfectly powerful position without a hint of excessive pressure. Another patented SMP carryover is its ergonomic center channel that relieves the potential of compression in the perineal and prostate area helping to eliminate tingling and numbness. Additionally, nerves and the vascular regions are protected allowing the entire area to benefit from increased blood flow and better ventilation.
The tail of the saddle receives a kicked up design for maximum pelvic support and better stabilization. This provides a better foundation to brace against while putting out the watts as well as a more powerful and comfortable position when climbing. It’s also worth noting that the rear of the saddle has a slight cutout to protect the coccyx.
This particular saddle is covered in leather on the black version and receives a microfiber cover for the white one. It receives a minimal amount of foamed elastomer padding covering a carbon reinforced nylon shell. The 7.1 x 9.0mm saddle rails are constructed from unidirectional, high modulus carbon fiber for a wide fore and aft range, great shock absorption, and it saves 50 grams over the stainless steel version.
The Selle SMP Forma Carbon Rail Saddle takes design notes from the Composit saddle, but with a slightly wider width that’s ideal for those of us with broader sit bones. The rails are made from unidirectional “high modulus” carbon fiber for maximum lightness and strong resistance to impact, keeping up with your most demanding rides without slowing you down. The innovative shape and pressure-relief channel are fully intact and without any excessive padding. This keeps weight and bulk to a minimum while maintaining the shape and supportive characteristics SMP saddles are known for. The saddle is wrapped in leather, and has a durable elastomer nylon and carbon composite shell to hold up to both road and mountain applications.
The Forma sits at 137mm wide and is best suited for medium to large pelvises and it features a thinner profile than other models in this range. At the front of the saddle is the characteristic beak nose shape designed to relieve pressure while seated. SMP’s pronounced “free” central channel, further reduces pressure on the pudendal nerve and surrounding soft tissue. The back of the saddle is raised to support a powerful pedaling position, where body weight is divided between the rear and lower part of the ischial tuberosity region. This shape also helps reduce overall pressure on the coccyx while riding over rough surfaces.
The Antares 00 Versus Evo Saddle from Fi’zi:k represents the firm’s top-tier saddle for riders who match it’s Chameleon Spine Concept with a pressure relieving channel. Its full carbon construction drops grams and delivers stiffness while still offering all-day comfort. Thanks to the Versus Evo full channel, Fi’zi:k is able to focus on pressure relief at soft tissue areas while the high modulus full carbon shell is tuned for maximum power transfer.
Its close relationship with the pros led the firm to the realization that there was a critical link between saddle shapes and profiles, spine flexibility and pelvic rotation, and comfort. Using its Spine Concept Evo fitting system, the Antares is a slightly waved profile saddle designed for Chameleons, meaning riders with a medium degree of body flexibility and low pelvic rotation while pedaling.
Its Mobius carbon rail is a single, proprietary closed-loop design providing balanced weight distribution that further contributes to its stiffness and eliminates any pressure hotspots on the ischial bones. The cover is applied over the padding with a vacuum process that enables a more progressive cushioning, while the surface texture provides more grip so you stay put while pushing a big gear.
With more and more cyclists riding and racing over mixed surfaces, we’ve certainly seen an influx of all-road components to hit the market as of late. The newest product to enter the fold are saddles from Selle Italia and with its Novus Boost Gravel Tech Superflow L Saddle, you can tackle those multi-hour grinders in total comfort. Featuring a compact shape and rounded profile, its designed especially for gravel riding and offers a variety of positions that’ll quickly be appreciated while climbing, motoring along in the flats, or descending washboard roads. That refined shape works in conjunction with its variable density padding and silicone gel under its durable microfiber cover that provides seated comfort regardless of the terrain or distance.
Much like the other saddles with the Superflow moniker in Selle Italia’s lineup, the Novus Boost Gravel Tech’s Gel Flow anatomic cut-out virtually eliminates pressure on the perineum and other soft tissue. This saddle situates under its L3 idmatch meaning its slightly wider shell is suited for those with broader sit bones and who’s fit requires high pelvic rotation. The additional comfort this saddle offers is a given, however, one of our favorite details is the large reflective treatment it adds to the rear of the saddle. It offers impressive visibility in low-light conditions and provides peace of mind when we forget to grab a taillight and we’re out riding for longer than expected. Finally, fixing the saddle to your seatpost is Selle Italia’s TI316 rails utilizing titanium tubing for impressive durability over rougher roads and gravel while dropping some grams and helping to take the sting out of repeated braking bump hits.
An informal survey here at the Competitive office finds the Fi’zi:k Aliante saddle as one of the favorite platforms. Those looking for a little more pressure relief without resorting to a full cutout and seek its lightest weight chassis will gravitate to its Aliante 00 Versus Evo Saddle. Coming in at a claimed weight of almost 26g lighter than the Aliante R1 Versus Evo, this is the one to have if you seek comfort and chase grams. The saddle’s stiff, high modulus full carbon shell and Mobius carbon rails ensure no watts are wasted, yet offers a comfortable ride over bumpy roads.
The saddle’s body uses its Versus Evo construction, which provides the benefit of a pressure relieving center channel for the soft tissue, keeping you pedaling comfortably for hours at a time, while the full carbon shell is tuned for maximum power transfer. Two sizes cater specifically to your body stature and power output on the road. Since it’s shell is made entirely from carbon, the 00’s Versus Evo saves some weight over the R1, which features carbon injected nylon.
In Fi’zi:k’s Spine Concept estimation of cyclists-as-animals, the Aliante is designed for bulls. Bulls have a relatively rigid spine and tend to rotate their pelvises forward when they ride, an adjustment that requires a saddle with a larger, deeper pocket. That said, this saddle shape has gained a versatile following, and we know many cyclists who can touch their foreheads to their knees while stretching but still prefer the Aliante.
The 00 also saves weight by using rails made in a Mobius carbon fiber closed loop design instead of the typical Kium alloy. The rails deliver better weight distribution and eliminate pressure hotspots on the ischial bones. The whole thing is capped off with a cover that’s applied over the padding with a vacuum process that enables for a more progressive cushioning, while the surface texture provides additional grip for a more secure interface with the bib shorts.
When you’re staring down the prospect of an epic century through wonderfully scenic vistas, the last thing you want to worry about is an uncomfortable saddle taking the enjoyment out of the ride. Say goodbye to numbness and get comfy in style with the Selle Italia Novus SF S Saddle. With shock-absorbing Ti 316 rails and a large center cutout for pressure relief, this saddle takes the pain out of long distance riding. And at 137mm wide, it’s is the narrower version of the two Novus Superflow offerings, with the Novus Superflow L being the wider option.
The Brooks England B17 Imperial Saddle brings vintage styling to any bicycle. With classic leather, metal rivets, and Brooks nameplate, this saddle harkens back to a more civilized time of tweed jackets and corduroy elbow patches. The comfort on this saddle jumps forward to current times with a cutout design to reduce pressure and numbness. Go for a ride to the coffee shop or tackle that mountain road you’ve been eyeing, knowing you’ll get there comfortably and very fashionably.
Today let’s talk about the brook saddle. And how has it been after a couple thousand miles. Picking a saddle for your bike is probably a more difficult decision than even picking the bike itself it’s where you spend the majority of your time when you’re on the bike you’re sitting in the saddle and an uncomfortable saddle makes. For an uncomfortable tour and an uncomfortable ride it doesn’t make you happy so when you’re looking at saddles. There aren’t either many people who go touring that haven’t considered a brook saddle lots of people talk about them some.

A brooks saddle costs why wouldn’t you buy the product they recommend putting on it so i put that on there everybody’s. Got their own theory about how often for the first couple of weeks i would put it on there about once a week both top and bottom underside now i only do it about.

Get a lot of times is what do you do about in the weather well if I’m biking in its weather i don’t really worry much. About it if I’m honest there are a lot of folks who do cover that you know have the cover that goes over their saddle if it’s raining but i. Don’t spend a lot of time out in the rain and riding if you do perhaps. And you’re on a tour and you’re concerned by the cover i have heard of guys who take a shower cap and put over. Their seat while they’re driving like if it’s on the back of your car or in the back of your truck personally i just marked my seat posts with a white paint. Pen and then take this just take the. While seat off and throw it in the trunk it’s not a big deal the way i don’t have to worry about it so overall am i happy yeah I’m happy i. Don’t have any major pain other than the. Normal pain you’re gonna have because you don’t often ride enough and no seats. Gonna stop that issue it’s its still. Stiff but it has just enough give to. Take a little bit of the bounce out i did make some minor adjustments i am just a little bit above level and i. Found that to be more comfortable for me i also am a fan of the imperial with the. Slit here in the middle i think it’s a. Little less painful in my experience i haven’t had to make any adjustments here or anything and some people say well. Don’t the rivets hurt no can’t even tell. They’re there it’s been a great saddle i think you should give it a shot if you haven’t i think you would find that you. Might enjoy a brooks saddle and that you.
