You—and everyone else—can recognize Selle SMP saddles at a glance, but can you explain why they look so distinctive? Selle didn't design the beaked nose, high back, and large central channel for no reason, after all, and while all the above are common features on Selle saddles, each has been tailored to fit specific riding styles, anatomies, and disciplines. The Composit Road Saddle, for example, employs the same shape and materials as the SMP4BIKE series, but it ditches the foam to better suit aggressive road riders with narrow to average pelvises.

The lack of foam makes the Composit slightly less cushy, but that's not a racer's primary concern. More important are support and stiffness, which the Composit delivers via an elastomer nylon and carbon composite shell. The beaked nose provides more space for your twig 'n' berries, and the pronounced center channel relieves pressure on other soft tissue areas so you can sit comfortably without loading up on padding. The raised "whale tail" back gives you something to push against, and the durable steel rails handle years of hard riding without getting loose or losing strength.

I custom built my bike with all the bells and whistles or at least what I could afford at the time. during my purchase I didn't pay much attention to the saddle that was recommended for my build so I went with it. from the moment of my first ride I noticed that saddle was not comfortable but I choose to keep my saddle because I thought my uncomfortableness came form the height of the seat post the reach of the stem being improperly adjusted. I finally bought the seat that was recommended by my local bike shop and I am beside myself at how much of a difference this saddle makes. All the pain in my seat bones has gone away. I can honestly recommend this saddle for anyone that's looking to get rig of the pain during your ride.
