Selle SMPComposit
Item # SLL0006
Composit
Selle SMP designed its new Composit with the same overall design as its SMP4BIKE saddles, meaning the innovative shape and pressure-relief profile is fully intact, but without any of the elastomer foam. This was done to keep weight and overall bulk to a minimum, while still maintaining the supportive characteristics its saddles are known for.
The Composit is best suited for cyclists with average and narrow pelvises, as it features a thinner profile than other models in this range. At the nose, there's the characteristic "beak" shape designed to provide a flat base while sitting, without excessive pressure on the genital area. SMP's pronounced central channel was also incorporated, which further reduces pressure on the pudendal nerve and surrounding soft tissue. The back of the saddle is raised for an enhanced seated pedaling position, where body weight is divided between the rear and lower part of the ischial tuberosity region. This shape also helps reduce overall pressure on the coccyx while riding over rough surfaces.
The saddle was wrapped in leather for the black version and a durable Lorica microfiber in the colored versions. Its durable elastomer nylon/carbon composite shell rides on stainless steel rails, ensuring a secure perch that'll hold up for both road and mountain applications.
The Selle SMP Composit is available in one size (263 x 129mm) and in the colors Black, Red, and White. It is handmade in Italy and has a claimed weight of 200 grams.

I should have up graded years ago!
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.
