Purchased this saddle because we ride a Tandem and my wife bought the female version. Its the most comfortable saddle I have sat on so I am very happy with it.
Extremely comfortable seat. I've tried many different cushioned & gel seats & gel seat covers & this sparcely padded seat offers greater comfort than any others I've tried. It looks sparce, but is ergonmically perfect!
This saddle provides tremendous relief for the sensitive areas, almost no discomfort. I ride 30 miles twice a week before work and up to 60 miles on Saturday. I ride in a more upright position which is why I chose this saddle. I would have no problems riding any century ride. I was used to always needing to stand up and adjust sensitive areas before this saddlle. No longer. I would highly recommend to others.
I found this to be a very comfortable saddle. Rode the STP without a complaint.
I replaced a Brooks B-17 leather saddle with this Selle SMP TRK saddle on my Motobecane, Century Team, road bike. The TRK has approximately the same width as the B-17 and is just as comfortable. I purchased this TRK based on the cut-away feature to see if it would relieve my numbness in my hands during longer rides. It did not help this condition, but it is well made with nice cushioning, so I will continue to use it. For the price, I highly recommend it to riders looking for a wider, well made cut- away saddle.
I use this on an aluminum-frame road bike, riding mostly 20-40 miles at a time but occasionally longer. The shape does what it advertises it has eliminated pineal nerve problems and chafing, but provides a comfortable platform. The sloping nose allows me to ride in the drops without discomfort. It's a bit more padded than most saddles, but not plush. The price is reasonable, especially compared to Selle's higher-end models. I couldn't be more pleased!
I have this on my Surly Long Haul Trucker and for touring it is great. Soft enough that I don't get sore but still not spongy. I really find this fits my body type well. I'm 5,-10 at 200 lbs and works well.
This seat is for my stoker who has never been happy about any of her tandem seats. She's not complained about this one yet. The proof will be how it works this summer after 6 or 7 hours in the saddle.
I tried out the Selle SMP pro for myself and liked it a lot. Feels weird at first since all your weight is on the sit bones. After awhile you forget about the seat, and that is the best compliment I have ever made about a saddle.
This model is quite wide and has plenty of padding. I think it is most suitable for women who prefer wider and softer.
