I've rode Selle SMP's for many years and thought I'd try something new and less expensive. They're nice looking and got a lot of good reviews. Didn't work for me, after three rides I ordered another SMP and happy once again.

Had been using center-cutout saddles for a few years and thought I'd stick with them. I read so many praising reviews of the Scoop I figured I should give it a try, especially being quite a bit cheaper than some previous saddles I've used. After 2,000 miles I can say without hesitation that this is the best saddle I've ever used! Wasn't sold on the first few rides, but that was mainly due to needing adjustment - I purchased the Flat version and my previous saddle was more curved, so I found I needed to nose it down a bit to get comfortable. It's fairly flexible in the middle so it felt better to keep the nose down somewhat (we're talking millimeters) but the flex means that it can be quite comfortable without a lot of padding which can sometimes get in the way and cause other issues. I kept reading about how nice the top material felt and thought how much difference am I going to be able to tell through padded cycle shorts? But I really can notice the difference! It's smooth without being slippery. I actually had my sit bones measured at a shop to see what width of saddle I should use, and while the Scoop is narrower than I should be using, I can stay in a more aggressive position much longer without discomfort than I could previously with other saddles that supposedly fit me better. Just a great saddle overall, and the variety of colors makes it even better!

This seat looks good on my bike and is comfortable for long rides. I got a lot more than I expected .

I bought the Scoop Flat saddle. Have ridden it daily for about 3 weeks 2 hoursday. I really like it. Support is good. It is firm but not hard. When I ride in my drops it is one of the best saddle I have used in 25 years. I like the simplicity of design in that it looks like it should last a while before breaking down like the Selle Italia saddles I have had. The price is right so I decided to buy it untested, usually a recipe for failure. Buena Suerte!

Just the right amount of padding. The material is smooth and not too tacky to allow you to move around without pulling on your shorts. Instantly comfortable on the first ride. Recommended!

I am running the flat version of the Fabric Scoop Elite on both of my mountain bike and it is the perfect saddle for me. My previous go to saddle was the Fizik Pave (discontinued) but I now prefer the Scoop.

This saddle is comfortable and has a good fit. It's a little heavy, but not too much.

I like the simple design of this saddle. I've done a few 30 mile rides and had no issues with comfort or numbness. The black saddle with red underneath looks fantastic on my Boardman SLR 9.8, too.

I bought one to try on my trainer and bought the second for my main road bike. Love it!

I thought I would try a Fabric saddle especially at the price and I have been quite satisfied! I currently use it on my trainer bike and love it!
