Review by Roger Crandall
I bought this saddle to change from the Selle Royal Lookin Singel saddle that was on my Bulls Lacuba E-Bike. That saddle was flat, stiff, and hot. This new SMP TRK has flex, padding where you need it, and the ventilation keeps it cool. I do a lot of touring and that is it's intended purpose to keep me going for long days in the saddle. I haven't seen anything better and I'm totally satisfied with my purchase.

Review by DL
Opening the box it looked bulky and seemed heavy, but I saw some good reviews and was hopeful. Felt good at first, but didn't take long for the bulkiness and width to dig into the inner portion of my legs. Too uncomfortable after 20 miles, I can't imagine going long with this saddle. Should have saved my money on this one.

Gave this saddle a go after reading the reviews while recovering from a specifically male surgery. 6 weeks off the road bike and gave it a try. After getting the saddle in the sweet spot for me, it is exactly what I was looking for....just about disappears under me. Bought a second to put on my errand bike and I am one very happy customer. These are a bargain. Gel is the right consistency. I'm 5'9, 160 lbs., approaching 70 years.....but who's counting?

I am using this saddle on my trainer and noticed the difference right off. Very comfortable, with padding in all the right spots. Am able to ride longer and easier. Great saddle.

Update on the saddle that I bought from bikes direct in May for my 5 ft 11 inches, 170 lbs frame and sit bone width of about 130 mm. I ride a gravel bike in a more moderate sitting position so not completely upright and not stretched out either. The saddle was delivered in perfect condition. I now have about 1300 miles on the saddle and it is showing some signs of wear on the surface. . The saddle is a bit wide and the edges in the front are sharp. It is comfortable for 2-3 hour rides but at the end of the ride, my sit bones start getting achy. The large cut out and saddle design (drop away nose) makes it very comfortable in the groin area. Not perfect but good value for the money. I just ordered the Selle Italia man flow gel saddle from bikes direct to see how it compares.

I finally have no discomfort when riding, did the Cancer fund raiser from Phila. to Atlantic city, no problems, I would recommend this seat to any guy

I like hard, hilly, long-distance riding about 4000 miles per year. Other saddles I've used have been OK, but I decided to try Selle SMP to avoid potential prostate and urinary duct problems. I liked the comfort of the SMP after one ride and loved it so much after 100 miles that I bought a second one. A touch pricy and a touch heavy, but definitely worth it.
Review by BiCoastal
This is certainly more expensive than a stock saddle, but it's the 3rd saddle I've purchased and so far I'm very happy with it. I was planning on riding a century and I had gotten to 60mi in my training before I was like "I definitely need a new saddle." I pulled my groin on mile 25 of my first training ride on this saddle but I've ridden multiple times 20+ miles since and had zero discomfort.

The Selle SMP TRk Gel Saddle Medium is just what the doctor ordered. It's a great sit. I go on long bike rides without any trouble. It is very comfortable and it doesn't cause any butt pain. I can go on 3 to 4 hour bike rides without any difficulty. This is the Best saddle I've ever bought. I liked it so much I bought another for my other bike.

I mounted this new seat on a REI Novara "Big Buzz" hybrid bicycle (commuter). It makes the commute a lot more comfortable. I have a similar seat by the same manufacturer mounted on my canondale road bike. Both seats are awesome.

Turned an old steel road bike into a gravel bike. Wanted a saddle with enough padding to keep me comfortable. Have an SMP road saddle on my road bike so I looked at the company's offerings for gravel. This saddle did the trick, the shape of SMPs work for me and this is just like their road saddles with extra padding. I did have to fiddle with the angle of the saddle a bit, but once that was dialed in everything was golden.

This is the most comfortable saddle for me, a female cyclist. I've had many many saddles and this is the best. I've had two of these saddles on two different bikes over many years and miles.
Review by thartshorn
It fits, its pretty damn comfortable but needs to be set up exactly right. It's firmness is spot on, but the deep curve may be a little much. It needs to be dead level or just a degree forward to work imo, and for long distance rides of over 30 miles I'm just not sold, some numbness, but maybe it's just me. Getting on it is like nothing you'll ever experience from a stock saddle, and for the price you can't beat it.

I replaced an old Selle SMP Plus with this one. It has a little more padding and is extremely comfortable without limiting any movement. I ride relatively smooth long MTB trails on hard tail bike and this saddle is the most comfortable I've ever tried. It is 400g, on the heavier side but the SMP line is by far the best anatomical designed saddles.

I ride aproximately 40 to 50 miles a week on paved trail. The gel really protects the pelvic bones. No more saddle sores.

This is my forth attempt to find a satisfactory saddle and this is by far the best yet for comfort given my BPH challenges. I've ridden this saddle a couple hundred miles with the longest duration of 3 hours and the saddle was excellent.

Had to give this saddle a try after a six week respite from my road bike due to prostate removal surgery. Researched the issue extensively and other cyclists exclaimed their satisfaction with Selle cutout saddles. After installing I went for a short test ride and instantly knew this was going to be a success. No discomfort in the perineum area during or afterwards.
Review by BigE
Excellent seat, I replaced my stock saddle on my Trek for this. I'm a rather big guy (6'3, 200 lbs) and find this really comfortable. i tried other, more expensive saddles, but this works the best. I can ride a century with no problems.
Review by AppNCRider
I installed the seat myself on my Trek Silque road bike. I ride in the Appalachian Mountains moving fore and aft on the saddle. It is easy to know when I am in the sweet spot for climbing. For the anatomy, it seems to be a good fit for reducing any pressure on sensitive female anatomy. As a 52 yr old, it is all about comfort. This saddle work well!
