Selle SMP Evolution for Sale, Reviews, Deals and Guides

This is my go to saddle for rides over 100 miles. I have a 30 waist so it fits very well. It has an interesting shape that works surprisingly well on long rides. Have completed 207 mile ride with 20,000 feet of climbing on this saddle without any significant discomfort.

I noticed less pressure on the groin area. It hit me in the wrong spot and my tail bone was really sore.

Solid, comfortable contact with sit bones. No more pain in the "soft tissues". Comfort for multiple hours in the saddle.

I just bought my 3rd Selle SMP Evolution saddle, and I am definitely a big fan. The design relieves pressure, but I still find it to be comfortable in a wide variety of positions. In particularly excels as you rotate your hips forward into more of a TT position. No more numbness. The construction quality is also very good. I still ride one that has been everywhere with me since 2008.

This Concorde beaked saddle is very finely crafted. The leather, stitching, shape, and rails are wonderfully executed. The quality and concern for detail were what I would expect from a very pricey leather attach� case. I know the radical shape solves the perineal pressure problem for many male riders. It seemed to work for me too, on the trainer. On the road, the reduced surface area edges lit up my tender undercarriage as is always a risk for saddle designs that sharply reduce surface area. The remaining surface has to put more pressure on something. That's why an anatomical saddle can end up hurting much more if it doesn't suit you. The beaked nose deserves special mention. Most split nose saddle designs also chop the nose quite short. SMP chose to bend their nose but not alter its length. Pedal strokes feel just a touch more mechanically efficient and handling is improved as well because the bent nose between your legs can still be used to guide the bike. The "bent nose" idea works quite well. If you are looking at perineum pressure reducing saddles, this one deserves consideration. The saddle is very well made, beautiful, and functionally innovative. I would be riding it if my body hadn't rejected the idea.
