As one of the newest saddles in the Selle SMP lineup, the F30 Saddle provides the benefits of classic SMP designs with a shape that doesn't have quite the exaggerated drop nose. Even so, it still yields greater comfort in the drops than conventional saddles with plenty of freedom to move about without excessive pressure. Also returning is the patented ergonomic center channel that relieves compression in the perineal and prostate area helping to eliminate tingling and numbness. Additionally, your nerves and vascular regions are protected and the entire area enjoys increased blood flow and better ventilation. The tail of the saddle receives a kicked up design for maximum pelvic support and better stabilization. This provides a better foundation when putting out the watts and a better position while climbing. Also of note at the rear of the saddle is its slight rear cutout that's there to protect the coccyx. This particular saddle is covered in leather in the black version and microfiber for the white one. It receives a minimal amount of foamed elastomer padding covering a carbon reinforced nylon shell. The saddle rides on stainless steel AISI 304 rails offering a wide fore/aft range and great shock absorption.
