Selle SMP
Selle SMP builds distinctively shaped anatomic saddles with a pronounced nose cutout, engineered to relieve soft-tissue pressure that riders often experience on long rides with more conventional saddle shapes. Why do Selle SMP saddles look so different from other brands? Selle SMP's saddle shape, with its extended nose cutout, is designed specifically to reduce pressure on sensitive areas during long hours in the saddle, an approach that looks unusual but has built a loyal following among endurance and touring riders. Do Selle SMP saddles require a break-in period? Some riders find Selle SMP's distinctive shape takes a few rides to adjust to since the pressure distribution differs from a standard saddle, but many riders who struggle with conventional saddles find the SMP shape more comfortable from the start.
