Why We Like The Selle SMP F30C s.i. Saddle
No matter what cycling discipline is our favorite, the Selle SMP F30C s.i. Saddle is our go-to for unmatched comfort and support. Since we spend hours a day in the saddle, riding free of pain is a necessity, so Selle SMP built this high-performance saddle with an ergonomic shape, durable carbon-reinforced nylon body construction, and strong AISI 304 stianless steel rails. The “eagle’s beak” tip eliminates pressure and unwanted tingling in the perineal area, while the absense of padding optimizes overall comfort.

So far, so good
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I'm a 63 year old road + gravel biker who rides between 5k and 6k miles a year, and I recently bought this saddle to address prostate issues. I've been riding for a long time and mostly I've been a fizik guy, lately the Arione and the 3D printed Antares Versus R3. Never really had fit or comfort issues with any saddle. That being said, this saddle is very comfortable so far, especially when you consider it's basically an unpadded carbon Pringle and hard as a rock. The thing that makes it comfortable are the ischial indentations and the short nose. I've never felt less perineal contact. My guess it the hard surface basically vaults your privates over the saddle and the short nose means no impact to your urethra, especially getting in and out of the saddle. To date my longest ride has been a couple of hours on rollers in the basement, but I'll update this review in the spring when I've been out on some four or five hour rides. Fingers crossed. I would say it's worth taking a little extra care to fit it. Take measurements of your old saddle before removing it, especially noting the distance between the REAR of your saddle and the centerline on the handlebars. The short nose makes measuring from the nose something of a guess. Also, the lack of padding meant I had to raise my saddle a couple of mm, and that was from the Arione, which I previously would have said was the least padding I'd ever seen. Also note that the base setup in horizontal with a piece of cardboard sitting on top of the saddle. I dropped the nose about 1° from there. The shape of the saddle makes it anybody's guess what horizontal would be otherwise.

Love the pocket for my sit bones- just m

I bought three Selle SMP saddles to try- the F30C SI, the Drakon, and the Nymber. I thought I was going to like the F30C because of its depressions for the sit bones. However, it was not to be. My butt liked the Nymber the best. I highly suggest people try several saddles. Your body will decide.

Counterintuitive, game-changing comfort
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I am a 53 yo endurance cyclist weighing 215lbs. My pursuit of a perfect saddle ends with the F30C si! With a quality padded bib short, this saddle is perfection for me. It remains comfortable after 100+ mile rides. After a proper bike fit, I went down the rabbit hole of saddle selection. I went through the full line of Fizik saddles. I also tried the Specialized Power Mirror. The Fizik Tempo Argo was quite good (the Power rubbed by thigh and became uncomfortable after 50 miles). I almost stopped my search at the Tempo Argo, but decided to try the F30C s.i. It is hands down more comfortable. That said, I did need to experiment a bit with saddle layback and tit (I run mine with nose slightly up).
