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

best comfort i've ever had in the saddle

But very comfortable.As an long term outdoor cyclist but a new indoor new I've experimented with a few different saddles over the past 6 months, all of them were narrow. This one wasn't.First ride impression, different but nice.Over time I got used to the extra width and have decided that I've been wrong in the past.Certainly worth it especially if you like to cycle a good distance as it gets more comfortable.

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.

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.

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.

This appears to be a returned item. Bag was open and brown tape used to close inner packaging..saddle itself has a slight scuff mark on it. The saddle itself looks like what I was after so will not return

Excellent saddle. Takes a little tweaking after a few rides but a huge improvement on my previous saddle. Plus at a bargain price. Very fast delivery in 24hrs.

Much like my review of another Selle saddle, this is a difficult one to review because saddles really are a very personal thing.There's absolutely nothing I can fault when it comes to the quality. The build, materials and overall finish are all exactly what I'd expect from Selle, and there's no doubt this is a well-made saddle.Unfortunately, the shape of this one just wasn't right for me. Quite simply, it didn't suit my backside! I tried to give it a fair chance, but the shape just didn't work for me and that's something that is going to be different from cyclist to cyclist.So while this particular saddle wasn't for me, I wouldn't hesitate to say the quality is on point. If the shape suits you, I can see this being a very good saddle indeed. For me, though, it was just the wrong shape.
