Selle SMP Cares About Your Soft Parts

We always say how a saddle is ultimately a personal choice. What works for one person's bum may make not work for another, but Selle SMP is determined to change that with the meticulous study of riding positions and the functional analysis of the interactions with various parts of the body and the saddle.

Selle SMP was founded in 1947 and is a true pioneer in the saddle making industry. Nowadays with popularity in over 50 countries, Selle SMP has a vast following of loyal customers. Perhaps it's because Selle SMP has spent over 60 years perfecting the ergonomics of the saddle. From cutouts to curvature, they have studied and analyzed the intricacies of the human body in order to produce an entire product line that consistently strives for perfection. The goal is to design superior saddles that are durable, lightweight and most importantly, comfortable. Fortunately they are succeeding.

Currently the top of the Selle SMP product line is the STRIKE. The STRIKE series comes in several different designs to accommodate each and every different physical characteristic a rider may have. Sounds intricate, but saddles are intricate. Each model in the STRIKE series has common (and patented) characteristics such as the original beak of the saddle nose. Each Selle SMP saddle is specifically designed to give the rider a flat base for support while sitting for those long climbs. The flat base of the beak also helps on the downhill slopes by offering significantly greater thigh control of the bicycle. The channel going down the center of the STRIKE series has wider dimensions than most cutouts you will find on the market today. In fact, you can almost stick your whole hand in there so you know it will be able to accommodate all your soft tissue parts. Another big issue cyclists face with each saddle is the specific seating pattern. The STRIKE series is designed to cuddle the buttocks and the lower part of the pelvic bones (the ischial tuberosities to be specific) to prevent squashing, squashing or otherwise uncomfortable placement of the coccyx allowing for gentle ins and outs from the rear when the ground requires such a dismount.

Let's face it, when it comes to saddles, we are all concerned with our "soft parts". Since our soft parts are the body parts that are in near constant contact with the saddle, and the soft parts are crucial to ones' happiness, a group of physicians did research on the effects of Selle SMP saddles on the genital-perineal regions. And we quote, "It is the geometry of this saddle that, by redistributing the body weight onto the buttocks, the ischial tuberosities, the ischium freeing the perineal plane, prevents the squashing of the neurovascular structures that run medially to the ischial tuberosites. Furthermore, the depression in the rear part prevents the coccyx from touching the saddle, thus preventing repercussions caused by the unevenness of the ground that may affect the spine." WHEW, that was long winded and technical. Basically, in layman's terms, that means that the Selle SMP won't squish your privates.
