The cyclist is at the centre of the project and ergonomic studies have analysed his/her positions during the race and the interaction of the various body parts with the saddle.

The central channel in the saddle is an uncommon characteristic because of its size: almost a whole hand can pass through it. This allows the anus, prostate, pudendal veins, deep dorsal penis artery and vein, scrotum and testicles (for men) and the clitoris (for women), not to be squashed or crushed. Air can circulate also around these areas preventing that unpleasant hot sensation.

All the models in the SMP range have the same patented characteristics in common, such as the original beak of the saddle nose, designed to provide a flat base for the efforts while sitting during long climbs and as a relief during the descents offering better control of the bike. The particular shape of the SMP saddle is not only ergonomic; the original profile and its soft lines make it particularly elegant. A component that improves increasingly more with sophisticated bikes.

The length of the bars makes installation particularly easy on practically any combination of saddle frame to seat post. The saddles are manufactured completely in Italy by Selle SMP.
