Covered in microfibre, it also features the completely open central channel, the original front nose and raised rear support, give these saddles a fascinating aerodynamic style. The Drakon model is the intermediate solution between the Dynamic and Lite 209 models. SMP4BIKE: SMP's set a fundamental objective: "To reduce pressure on the perineum and the consequent pressing of neuro-vascular structures in order to decrease the incidence of genitourinary problems and disorders in cyclists". To pursue this objective they set further goals: their saddles must have an innovative design and top quality. Research and development activities led to defining exclusive patents with regard to shape, curvature and the dimensions of the various parts that make up the saddle: The nose of the saddle (Beak): The characteristic "beak" shape has been designed to provide a flat base for efforts when sitting, for example when facing long uphill climbs and as help in descents, offering greater bike control using the thighs. Furthermore, the most important thing is that the "sensitive areas" are not pressed upward. The central channel: The central channel's unusual dimensions permits the "sensitive areas" of the human body not undergo any pressure. Cyclist's sitting position: Body weight is divided between the rear and the lower part of the ischial tuberosities. The position is helped by the rear profile shaped of the saddle in such a way to avoid pressure on the coccyx when riding on rough roads. The length of the bars/frame: It permits any cyclist to find the correct position on the saddle, making installation particularly simple and efficacious on practically any frame/seat post combination.
Ready for racing, this road bike saddle comes kitted out with a high-quality microfeel cover, which uses its microfibre material to deliver excellent resistance against abrasion and unpredictable weather conditions. Its special construction gives it a great touch and feel that's durable, long-lasting and easy to clean. Selle San Marco has also equipped this model with a carbon reinforced nylon shell that offers increased rigidity without adding any unnecessary excess weight. Its high-performance nylon shell is enhanced with carbon fibres that are built with variable thicknesses and reinforced by ribs and bridges for greater ergonomics without affecting weight. Coming complete with Xsilite AiSi304 hollow stainless steel rails, this saddle remains very light, resistant and tough against all weather conditions. Its special production process also guarantees excellent fatigue resistance. Selle San Marco presents Shortfit 2.0: the model marks a new chapter of one of the most successful products of the historical Italian company. The Shortfit model is the most aggressive saddle in the collection. It is distinguished by its short length and maximised central cut-out. The excellent, generous rear support makes this model ideal for those athletes who rotate their pelvis a lot whilst pedalling and as a result, move closer towards the handlebars. Its technical structure makes it particularly suitable for road use. Adapted to the most advanced technologies, the Shortfit 2.0 comes to the market with renewed features but always remains faithful to the tradition of craftsmanship that has always distinguished the brand. Biofoam Plus Padding and Central Cut Out Designed for comfort, this Supercomfort version features Biofoam Plus padding. Its biodynamic low-density foam uses a variable thickness structure that follows the movements of the pelvis when pedalling, for guaranteed comfort, low weight, long-lasting resistance and ideal support. The thicker padding ensures a comfortable posture even during long rides. In addition to these elements, the gel insert and the presence of shock absorbers increase the saddle to a higher level of comfort. Also benefitting from an Open Fit design, this saddle has a central cut out that runs down its centre to relieve any pressure or fatigue from around your sit bones. Thanks to these features, the Supercomfort is also suitable for E-bikes. As a result, the Selle San Marco Shortfit 2.0 Supercomfort Racing Saddle allows you to go the extra mile with increased comfort and support. Technologies: Microfeel: Microfibre material, abrasion-resistant, weather-resistant, perspirant. Great touch and feel. Long-lasting and durable. Easy to wash & clean. Carbon Fibre Reinforced: High-performance nylon, enhanced with carbon fibres, built with variable thickness, reinforcements by ribs and bridges, which enhance the rigidity with ergonomy and durability characteristics, without affecting weight to the shell. Xsilite Rails: AiSi304 stainless steel hollow rails (outer Ø 7 mm - inner Ø 5 mm). Very Light, resistant, and tough against all weather conditions. A special production process guarantees excellent fatigue resistance. All Racing level saddles have Xsilite rails. Supercomfort: Improved, thicker padding (Biofoam Plus) featuring variable density to better guarantee a comfortable posture while riding. The central opening has been increased to lend maximum relief from perineal pressure while at the same time maintaining a sufficient area of support. Suitable for E-Bikes. Open Fit: A saddle is Open-Fit when it has a small or large hole right through the seat. It is suitable for individuals with a medium to accentuated pelvic tilt.

This seat features a central cut-out, first designed over 100 years ago. The “registered cutting”, as can be read in the 1890 catalogue, is “a sure preventive to all perineal pressure". Still providing relief today, the Brooks B17 Carved is made from vegetable tanned leather that will age beautifully over time. Additionally, laced saddle flaps allow for increased tension and preserve the saddle’s shape. A more flexible saddle than the standard B17, this comfortable saddle is finished with steel rivets and a steel undercarriage.
Comfortable from day 1 thanks to the softer leather, the B17 and B17 S Aged are ideal for sports touring, trekking and atb use.
This MTB saddle features a reliable microfibre cover construction, which is incredibly hard-wearing and makes it easy to switch position. Ergon has also equipped this model with TiNox rails, so you can benefit from their strong hold to your seatpost as you blast across the mountain. Another benefit is its nylon composite shell, which provides fantastic flexibility when weaving between the trails at speed. Engineered for comfort, this model comes complete with orthopaedic aircell foam with orthocell pads, so you can enjoy pressure relief for longer. With the assistance of the latest scientific studies and intensive prototyping Ergon‘s interdisciplinary development team – consisting of sports scientists, industrial designers, engineers and test riders – have come up with a new generation of pressure-relief men’s saddles. The SM Men saddles effectively avoid discomfort and numbness for most applications in mountain biking – for most types of mountain bike riders. Relief Inlays: Increased comfort due to OrthoCell®-Inlays in the seating area, which help distribute pressure better. Large-Area Pressure Distribution: Perfect pressure distribution in the area of the sit and pubic bones by means of a flat, even contact area and high end padding foams. Flat Rear: The narrow, slightly inclining rear with a flat contour and a minimal ramp-up give great freedom of movement on the downhills. Flat contour: Due to the more upright pelvic orientation the saddle surface is flat with great freedom of movement. Effective Relief: The extremley deep and rearward increasing relief channel is complimented by a proper cut-out in the deepest spot. This construction combines all the benefi ts of a standard cut-out saddle without its drawbacks (often a very stiff shell) producing a particularly high degree of pressure relief of the sensitive perineal area. Exceedingly high pressures often are the cause for discomfort and numbness in the genital area. Shape: Through its Y-Shape the freedom of movement and legroom are maximized, while at the same time all bone structures are ideally supported. Integrated Mount: Convenient removable mount for accessories like Topeak® saddle bags.
