Selle SMP TRK Gel Saddle Black - Medium

This is the most comfortable saddle I have ever owned, after using cheap seats that caused pain in my butt I decided to spend more money and try something more expensive but maybe could help to retake my bike rides, since the first time I felt a big difference no more pain in my buttocks bones and no pain or discomfort in my noble parts. Now I am really enjoying my bike rides.

For me, on a real bike, numbness has not been a problem because one moves around quite a lot in response to road conditions, but on a stationary exercise bike, it has been. This is especially the case because my exercise bike requires a more forward lean than my road bike. Almost identical in shape a seat I got from Bikeroo, yet the tiny difference makes all the difference I needed. Quite nice, and highly recommended. One warning -- even though I got the "gel" variant, this is a HARD seat where your sit bones make contact. If that's a deal breaker for you, then so is this seat.

I don't have a lot of fat padding so more than an hours ride makes me sore. I've tried several "padded" bike seats and a couple of relatively high priced (> $150) seats on both of my bikes. I've had help from experienced riders with tweaking the exact position of seats with real but modest benefits. Based on multiple reviews I decided to try this seat since it had a unique shape for my road bike. I went with this lower priced SMP model to see if this shape was any better before investing a lot of money it one. I can't say that the seat is bliss but it is much more comfortable for long (more than an hour) rides than any of the other seats I have tried. You do have to work of the best position, height, front to back and tilt angle. I ended up with the midpoint of the saddle at the same height from the center of my crankshaft as my old seat and the same distance from my handlebar center. Using an electronic angle tool and a flat board over the seat back-to-front, I found the best angle to be 8 degrees down in front for me. I don't feel small variations (2 degrees) in the angle when I first sit on my road bike but but after 30+ minutes of riding I notice the difference. I have only ridden this saddle for a few months but if it continues to be comfortable I plan to buy a more expensive model SMP for my road bike and move this seat to my mountain bike. I've recommended this saddle to one of my riding buddies, who has been through multiple expensive saddles, but he hasn't tried it out yet.

I've used the selle smp extra for long rides before, so when I got another bike figured I would try this one. Not a fan. I like the smp design, and overall they're comfortable, but this one in particular is way too padded. Anything over 20 miles and I get saddle sores where my sit bones contact from the frictional movement sitting so deep in the cushioning. I wanted to like it, like the smp extra I had, but this is for people who aren't going to be riding very far and want to ride in regular street clothes. If that's your intent, it's a good saddle.

I'm 5'9" and 227 pounds, and I've been riding road bikes for the past 15 years. The Selle Italia TRK saddle fits me perfectly. My sit bones measure about 4½ inches apart, and this saddle provides unmatched comfort and support — especially for longer rides. I’ve tried many saddles over the years, but the TRK has become my go-to. I now have three of them installed on three different bikes, so I never have to swap saddles again. It's that good. Highly recommended for heavier riders or anyone looking for long-distance comfort without sacrificing support or stability.

I purchased this seat on recommendation from a fellow cyclist. I just purchased a new Cannondale Road bike, but the factory seat was like sitting on a slab or 2X4 lumber!! This seat is light years better and more comfortable than the factory Cannondale seat that came with the bike. While it seems a bit pricey in comparison to others offered on Amazon, I think it's worth every cent I paid for it! Great upgrade and have no regrets. It was easy to install and adjust, excellent quality.

I’m on my third SMP seat. Perfectly comfortable for bike commuting, your butt will personally thank you as you sit on it, and you’ll ride for miles in civilian clothing. Unfortunately after 2-3 years one of the rails will break and you will cry all the way home, partly for discomfort, partly because these saddles are so damn expensive. So I bought a third one, either to be the charm or the confirmation of my foolishness.

I was having prostatitis and this seat solved the issue. I've been riding for years and took a break for the last few years. I decided to get back into this year and started having prostate issues. Thought I'd give this seat a try and couldn't be happier! The issues are gone! Took a little bit to get used to and had to adjust the set back to allow more weight on the back of the seat taking. Because the seat nose drops off quickly, this allowed me to keep weight off the prostate which was just what I needed. I bought a 2nd seat - one for my MTB and the other for my road bike. If you're having any prostate issues, give this seat a try! Highly recommend!!
