The prestigious American science magazine “Journal of Sexual Medicine” published the results of a study comparing a range of competition saddles. The study proved that the particular ergonomic shape of the SMP saddles limits the “compression of the pelvis” to the minimum, consequently protecting blood perfusion on soft tissues and at the same time increasing blood flow in the inner leg vessels.

All the models of the SMP4BIKE range have common patented characteristics:

1. Original beak of the saddle nose

Designed to supply a flat base for efforts when sitting for long climbs that have to be faced and as a help in downhill slopes, offering greater thigh control of the bicycle.

2. Central channel of the saddle

An uncommon characteristic because of its dimensions: almost a whole hand can be put in there and this prevents crushing of the anus, prostate, venae pudendae, deep dorsal vein and artery of the penis, scrotum and testicles in men, and the labia majora and minora and the clitoris, in women.

3. The cyclist’s sitting position is spread

On the SMP4BIKE saddle weight is shared between the buttocks and the lower part of the pelvic bones (the ischial tuberosities) and the position is favoured by the shape of its rear which, besides preventing squashing of the coccyx on uneven ground, allows gentle ins and outs from the rear when the ground requires it.

It was actually the users that pointed out how SMP4BIKE is particularly valid in the front ins and outs also making it possible for those that practice extreme bike competitions with wide shorts to use it without any problem.

The length of the bars makes installation particularly easy on practically any combination of frame/saddle pillar.

SMP4BIKE is produced by Selle SMP, a company founded in 1947 and therefore one of the pioneers of the sector in the world.
