It was killing me after only a few miles. This one is much more comfortable and I ride up to 30 miles at a time without a problem.

Review by RodReview for Selle SMP TRK SaddleReviewed 12/23/2012by RodCycling EnthusiastOregon & Arizona8 of 8 customers found this review helpful.Great saddle for the menAt last a value priced saddle which gives the room needed for male riders. I have tried others but this is the perfect combination of a great fit along with a favorable pricing. The test I use to see if the saddle is the correct one is if I am not thinking about it at all during the ride! This saddle passes the test and I have purchased one for each of my bikes. Riding 40 miles with no discomfort is wonderful.

Review by epriderReview for Selle SMP TRK SaddleReviewed 12/10/2012by epriderCycling EnthusiastEl Paso5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.No break-in requiredA friend who rides some really long rides recommended this saddle. He said it was comfortable right out of the box and he was right. Haven't done more than fifty miles at a time on it but it is comfortable all the way and the central channel relieves all pressure in that area which is the relief I was seeking. It's not the top of the line for the brand so it is a little heavy but the price was right. I'm a believer.

Review by CawgijoeReview for Selle SMP TRK SaddleReviewed 10/11/2012by CawgijoeCycling EnthusiastCentreville, Virginia6 of 7 customers found this review helpful.Nice saddle!I bought this saddle to use on an old Bianchi road bike that I've had since the early eighties. Fixing the bike up to commute. The saddle is not too wide or soft and works great to prevent numbness or pain. I did have to adjust the angle slightly in a bit of trial and error in order to get to the right spot for me. The SMP TRK is a well designed saddle and comes in at a great price. I don't know if its for everyone, but it works well for me in terms of comfort and not causing pain. Highly recommended.

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!

Review by OCBikerReview for Selle SMP TRK SaddleReviewed 8/23/2012by OCBikerCycling EnthusiastOrange County, CA7 of 7 customers found this review helpful.Extreme Comfort SaddleThis 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.

Review by Issaquah bikerReview for Selle SMP TRK SaddleReviewed 3/1/2012by Issaquah bikerCycling EnthusiastIssaquah, WA17 of 17 customers found this review helpful.This is a very comfortable seat, very easy on the groin area.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.

Review by markReviewed 5/31/2021by markCycling Enthusiastseattle1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.This seat works with the way I like to position myself on my ride.This seat allows for rotation of you upper body forward and back without discomfort in the various positions, but it is, I think, designed to keep your sit bones in the same place. I don't think you want this saddle if you move your sit bones to different locations on the saddle. Some people like to move around the saddle - I like to keep my sit bones well planted and return to the same place after standing.

Review by IrishCTReviewed 4/20/2021by IrishCTCycling EnthusiastConnecticutGreat saddle that takes the pressure off soft tissue area. It takes a few rides getting used to, as all saddles do, but once you get it set up correctly it takes the pressure off sensitive areas. I changed my saddle on recommendation of my urologist. I was initially reluctant as I did not have a problem with my old saddle. Once I got the SMP saddle adjusted ... I found a video on line .. I was a happy I changed.

Review by ChiBikerReviewed 6/10/2021by ChiBikerCycling EnthusiastChicago, ILSuper comfortable!After trying countless saddles I have finally found the one. Hands down the most comfortable saddle for me. A little heavier than others but I'll take that tradeoff.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 8/24/2018by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastPortland, OR1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Comfortable for long rides sitting more upright.Wide enough to provide padded support for my sit-bones riding in a less aggressive, more upright position. Very comfortable for long rides.

Review by Fran Review for Selle SMP TRK SaddleReviewed 8/3/2016by Fran Casual Cyclist2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Seems like a comfy saddleGot this saddle after purchasing a Trek Verve (upright riding). I was using my Brooks saddle, which love very much. No matter how many adjustments the saddle would not get comfortable. Sad, so put it back on my other bike which is a crank forward model. I only gave it a four star because it's just been a few rides and the verdict is still out. Nevertheless, it is more comfortable on the private parts. I'm sure will like it more after I get acclimated to the new ride and saddle.

Review by Mario SerranoReview for Selle SMP TRK SaddleReviewed 1/19/2015by Mario SerranoAliso Viejo California Very comfortable seat for two-hour ridesThe most comfortable seat I have used. Also looks very different than seats out there. When I am parked it gets attention; people always ask how I like the seat.

Review by AnonymousReview for Selle SMP TRK SaddleReviewed 10/26/2014by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastHorseheads, NY6 of 6 customers found this review helpful.A great design, makes a noticeable differenceI'm 50 years old, 202 lbs and have been cycling for only the past two years, initially for weight loss exercise but now for pure enjoyment. With the stock seat on my Giant Rapid, I found discomfort in the groin area when rides were greater than 30 miles. My younger biking colleagues convinced me to try this seat as they found improvement with use. I have used the seat for numerous rides over 25-30 miles now and wow, I experience none or minimal discomfort during and after rides. I was truly surprised and impressed how well this works. Price is reasonable and quality is good. As a note, I fiddled with the installation position and found a slight nose down incidence provided the best comfort (flat bar road bike). No issues with order, would use WB for future purchases.
