This saddle is designed for people with fairly large sitbone width - you can measure it by stripping off and sitting on a piece of corrugated cardboard, an Amazon box would do nicely. When I measured mine (130mm) I realised that my road bike's saddle was far too narrow and that this was doubtless contributing to discomfort on longer rides. A saddle that is the right width for your anatomy helps a great deal.The shape is unorthodox, the nose dips a lot, with the rails horizontal there is very little support ahead of the centre line. Compared to a classic flat road bike saddle shape I found that I was taking a little more of my body weight on my arms and legs. This took a little getting used to but I wouldn't want to go back, it makes it far more comfortable to stay in a relatively aggressive aero position for long periods which in turn does nice things for average speed.Nicely made piece of kit, not cheap but good quality bike stuff never is. I am very happy with it.

Been using it about 4 weeks now with a couple of 40 ml rides amongst shorter ones. Took a couple of weeks to get it dialled in and have ended up with a 1-2degree tilt down at the front. Also had to alter height and reach compared to old saddle. The longer rails on this saddle help especially if you’ve a steep seat post angle.The shape cups your bones from seat to pubic and I’m finding in the drops comfier and spending longer in that position than previously. Probably due to the generous cut out and the shape helping tip the pelvis.

The right shape but a bit small. I eventually settled on the next size up.

Very comfortable saddle, no more sore bottom. Sometimes it takes a lot of saddles to try to find the one that is perfect. In my case I had to go through 5 before I came across this one.

I have tried and bought cheap and very expensive saddles over the years ( Brooks, Fabric, Specialized etc..), , at least one a year. I fitted this to my touring bike and have now done over a thousand miles and this has been the most comfortable saddle to date. I will now be replacing the saddles on my other 3 bikes with SMP
