The Selle SMP Strike Plus saddle is designed from extensive studies conducted which analyzed the different positions assumed by a cyclist in the various phases of a ride and the constant interaction between the body and the saddle. Based on these findings, Selle SMP designed the STRIKE saddle which prevents the cyclist’s sensitive areas from getting squashed and increases the blood flow to the leg muscles. Selle SMP makes the saddle in Italy. The central channel of the saddle varies in width to contour the body and allow continuous circulation of blood flow. The front section of the saddle with its beak-shaped design offers excellent support when pedaling hard and prevents your sensitive area from getting squashed in the process. The design of the outer mid-section is shaped to follow your thigh muscles to maximize blood circulation and pedaling power. The overall weight of the rider is distributed throughout the saddle to offer comfort without sacrificing performance. This allows you to exert more power while in the saddle and ride longer more comfortably. The Selle SMP Strike Plus saddle keeps the same design of the patented STRIKE saddle but with a wider platform and increased padding that provides more comfort when riding. FEATURES - Weight: 330 grams Dimesions: 279 x 159 mm Cover: Nap leather. Padding: Foamed elastomer. Casing: Nylon 12 charged with carbon fibre. Frame: AISI 304 tubular steel rails.

Not the right shape for all
This was not the answer for me. It is well made and is of high quality, but the upward flare at the back of the saddle would not allow me to find a way to be comfortable on the saddle. The Adamo saddle has a similar open channel design and is much flatter and is my choice.

There are tradeoffs in bike saddles
This saddle is designed to minimze pressure in the perineum. It does that better than others I've tried. But it puts pressure in a more concentrated manner on the sit bones so it feels like riding on two rails even though it is padded. Really well padded bike shorts help but don't eliminate the problem.

Comfort for gravel and fat bikes!

One of the best saddles
Although a bit pricey, these saddles are great, one of the most comfortable I have ever ridden.

Can't beat it!
I am an ultra distance cyclist. I went through about 5 saddles ranging from as low as 140 and as high as 200 dollars. I never thought I would actually spend over that amount. However, I kept experiencing cysts in the wrong areas. I tried this saddle out not knowing what to expect with a gaping wide hole in the middle. 2000 miles later, I am extremely happy with my choice. It is not too padded, and not too hard. A review I saw a while ago complained about the padding. If you get a saddle with too much padding but want to ride longer than 20 miles, your waist down will go numb. The sit bones are there for a reason. You just have to get used to it. This saddle is padded much more than many of them out there. It has saved me trips to the doctor, and made my races much more pleasant. No one ever said it was a super light saddle, but I will take comfort over weight any day!

Selle SMP Plus - GREAT
Can't believe this saddle. Have ridden 60+ mile rides on weekends and never felt any wear and tear while riding on this saddle. I have ordered two more for my other bikes. Nice colors too. A++++++++++++
