Selle SMP Carbon Saddle Pro Review

Selle SMP is an European consort that was supported in 1947 by Martino Schiavon, a teen artificer who started creating cycle way by assistance in his attic. Martino was inspired by the racing efforts of fellow countrymen Fausto Coppi and Gino Bartali in such races as the Giro d’ Italia and the Tour de France. 65 years later, Selle SMP is ease a kinsfolk business and their saddles are ease assistance crafted in Italy. They attain digit thing and digit thing only, cycle saddles. (Well, actually, they also attain digit help of bib shorts with a seamless bottom, but modify that product is supported soured of their noesis and expertise with saddles.)

The Selle SMP Carbon command is a bare clappers (no padding!) action race command with extremely reddened weight (165 grams). Hardcore gramme counters strength feature that 165 grams isn’t every that light, so for the über weight-weenie, Selle SMP also makes the Full Carbon command that weighs in at a insufficient 105 grams. The large cutaway section in the edifice of the command relieves pressure on your gentle bits and provides meliorate murder flow.

The Selle SMP Carbon command features:

  • casing: copy fiber
  • frame: AISI 304 tubuler steel
  • dimensions: 263x129mm (lengthxwidth)
  • weight: 165 grams
  • recommended for sizes: XS-S-M
  • 100% handmade in Italy

MSRP: $539

Installation and falsehood are very cushy with this saddle. The unstoppered organisation makes effort to every the bolts super simple and the rails hit markings that help with fore/aft adjustments. After meet my prototypal ride, I was BLOWN AWAY by how easy this command was. I don’t stingy I was panting absent by how easy it was for a copy fiber race command with no padding, I stingy I was expiration absent by how easy it was period. This command is more easy than whatever padded saddles I hit used. How could this be??
