great saddle for the money, rides well and looks great
Review by OaktownCyclist
Bought for a friend who was having issues with his old, squishy saddle. he loves the amount of padding and also is a fan of the nose dip. for months i was on him to raise his saddle so that it was parallel to the road or close to it. now, thanks to this, he finally did it.

Very uncomfortable ride for me. I returned it. I am a big guy, so maybe would work for smaller person.

Very comfortable
Review by road doctor
nearing 60 y.o. comfort has become top priority .saving a few grams when i as many others could shed a few lbs seems a bit silly . road a 1 day double century last summer on the sella hybrid without any numbness... ordered 2 of the above for other bikes. recently found out a friend plans to ride cross country this summer and found myself telling him he has to try the one i havnt installed yet

I bought this seat to replace the one that came on my bike. 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.

At 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 eprider
A 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.

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.

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 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 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 IrishCT
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.

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.

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
Got 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.
