Glider Saddle
Upon initial inspection, the Selle SMP saddles may not look like they would be your first choice in comfort. But, looks are deceiving, and once you try it, the Glider saddle may just end up being your favorite saddle. They aren't the lightest saddle on the market, but they have been developed and produced after careful consideration of how the body actually interfaces with the bike, and if you are going to spend countless hours in the saddle, comfort trumps weight. The Glider, as with all SMP saddles, features a drop beak-shaped nose which relieves pressure from soft tissue regions. This design also means that when you ride, it's easier to roll forward and keep a flat back.
Ideal for pants ranging in size from medium to extra large, the paddle (widest part of the saddle) has been slightly elevated so that you have something to push on when you climb or take off in the break away. The center of the 136mm wide saddle features a wide cut out which eliminates pressure in the perineal zone. And with decent elastomer padding, it also keeps all your "bits" from getting crushed. That "highly technical" term is being used all inclusive of the male and female anatomy. The saddle is built upon traditional steel rails and a nylon/carbon fiber composite shell. You won't need to worry about your saddle being able to handle daily grind-fests without collapsing. Additionally, the padding is a foamed elastomer so that it holds its shape. The cover in black is leather and microfiber in the red and white styles.

Set it up properly

I have a couple of different models of Sella SMP that I ride on different bikes. I ride the Crit saddle on my aggressively set up Felt AR3, the Dynamic on my relaxed Giant Defy and the Glider on my titanium bike (in between). If you buy any SMP saddle, go to their Web site and follow the setup instructions regarding saddle tilt. I would guess a lot of the folks that buy these and don’t like them haven’t set them up properly. I have small/medium sit bones and anything wider than the Dynamic doesn’t work for me.
