Yeah I'm here with dave from smp saddles. And he's gonna tell us about a great new triathlon saddle they're pretty well. Known for the road saddle and once you. First just explain leave the difference between your road family saddles and the. New try family saddles sure and how that perhaps compares to the competition sure well stella smp has been making. Saddles 100% in italy since 1947 and. Since 2004 most people no sell a snp for. Their very curved patented design that. Cradles the entire pelvic structure offering 100% blood flow related. Elimination of pain numbness there's no. Impingement of the pudendal nerve and a very distinct unique shape in the road. Mountain bike cyclotrons travel world. And a few years ago the project was. Undertaken to bring all the health comfort and performance benefits from. Their patented saddles in the road world. Of mountain bike world and offer those same benefits in the triathlon world in the time trial world and the t series or. Triathlon series of saddles was introduced with t1 through t5 saddles. Now offering the optimum size of saddle. Level of padding in the saddle for each. Individual rider and in comparison will. See that the t series saddles appear. To be much flatter in profile versus the. Curve bruce impose however the. Technology of the foam and the. Creation of the foam or the padding that's used specific for the needs of the triathlete or the aero bar athlete. Once they're rotated forward moving forward sliding forward in that arrow position offers the same pelvic. Stability seen elimination of numbness. Because there's no compression of soft tissue which is the same for men and. Women it's not a male or female specific. Saddle it's a human specific saddle and. The scene whose benefits apply we want. To support the weight of the rider completely on the bone structure and. Illuminate any contact to the soft tissue optimally size and fit the rider. Depending on if they're you know very small. And petite or on the other end of the. Size scale, so we can support that but dave i think we're all familiar with. Most triathletes the is and the da mo's saddle which has really no support on the front of it and the beef most. People have is that it's wide in the. Nose and it rubs on some people's v so how does this compare the tri saddle to. The highest sense though well i think the most important thing to understand. Is that there's two standout features. That separate you know what is become a. Very popular saddle in the triathlon world to new technology and benefits the. First being the series of saddles that. Run from the t3 which is going to be. This saddle which is the smallest narrowest in the line and all the way up. To the t1 which is the other side which is the largest so each individual. Rider can find the saddle that fits them. Proportionally that's optimum meaning we. Don't want to put the very large athlete. On the very narrowest saddle or vice versa because they interact with the saddle differently there the proportions aren't the same between. Those two athletes so we can optimally. Match the size of the athlete to the size of the saddle level of padding. Whether you prefer a little bit more minimalistic level padding to a greater. Degree of padding a little bit softer. Level the other most important thing is that the saddle itself is connected both at. The front and at the back so the shell of the saddle continues and the easy to. See on the road line the eagle beatin design which is very distinctive continues the shell of the saddle and. Gives you greater pelvic stability because you don't introduce the chance of the saddle becoming out of plane. Whether that's from rider weight from pedaling from the forces of the seat post. Causing the saddle to separate or to. Move and so by continuing this shell it. Bends out of the way so there's no contact with the body same thing applies from the road line to the tribe line that you still get a modified eagle beat. Design so this is bending out of the way but the shell continued so you keep. Pelvic stability and pelvic integrity both at the front of the saddle the back. Of the saddle seat post clamping forces. Can't distort the saddle pedaling forces can't distort the saddle so you maintain optimum stability optimum comfort optimal performance well that's awesome. I got just one question though did they only come in these colors well the very. Distinct red and yellow are our test saddles so you can come in and try them out for yourself and then, and then we know if we lost our tests out that's right can't get mixed up in the studio and then as far as regular saddles they. Come in black white or the fluoro yellow. Fluorescent color ok thanks a lot dave, so we're gonna have these test saddles at our trek locations, and we do pro bike. Fitting that's all part of getting set up correctly on the bike having the right saddle as well so come on in. Check out these new saddles, and we hope to see you soon thank you.

So these sounds are really specific. First of all they are to say we have a. Very special design patented. Design why we start from the assumption. That cycling must be a pleasure so we. Have very specific and exclusive. Features on all of our selves first of all there's the complete open cutout from the back up to the nose you can. Find many saddles with just a hole in the middle but the most important part where the carrot must be is the front why because most of pressure on your perineal area and private parts is concentrated here while riding and this. Is what this is one of the things that make our service different from the others another thing is the nose. Dropping down so it's very important to. Avoid any pressure on your private parts. And per unit area again so to get a better comfort and better performance as well as you can see maybe some of them. Some people they know our curved shape. Which features most of our models why. Because in this way when sitting on the. Saddle when riding there's a better. Match between the shape of the ischial generosities and the surface of the. Saddle so no matter we'll wash your. Pelvis rotation depending on your. Position on the bike but you can have a perfect match between them moving pressure from the private parts to the. Ischial generosities which is the only good place where pressure must be. But we're gonna launch a new. Concept a new evolution in the concept of smb which is yes 30c ok as you can. See first of all differently from our. Traditional concept is not curved but. It's flatter why because if some users. Need to get a better support thanks to. This shape so from between your ischial. Generosities and especially the back up back part of the saddle having a very solid position of the on the bike. Some others they need to be more. Especially mentally they wanna be more free to move by riding and in this way. They can have the maximum freedom of. Movement no matter what the position they assume on the bike, and we have two. Versions of these thank you very much is. The f30 so it's the same sub in two. Different lines, so we have all the options available for customers to. Get onboard on these new models and the. Main thing is that you have on both versions you have a wide sitting surface. On the back for easier to grow this but in the same time you have a very lean. Shape in the central part of the saddle and on front as well so you don't. Scratch with your lights against the saddle so everybody it doesn't matter what the body configuration can use these models with satisfaction so it's a kind. Of universal new concept which can fit. Everybody and it depends on if they prefer. A short or a long shadow.

Hi I'm robbed from we keep you cycling and. Today the smp dragon saddle the smp. Dragon saddle falls between the dynamic and the light 209 in their 3.0 lineup if. You recall a few years ago they launched the form of dynamic in light 209 to. Cover off the gap between the glider and the pro the former was unpadded great. For folks who liked firm and light saddles the dynamic offered a good. Amount of padding very similar to their evolution but it wasn't quite soft enough for folks who have tender sit bones so the light 209 has a good amount. Of padding but you may find that the. Light 209 has too much padding and the dynamic has too little padding taking. Our feedback and the feedback of pros smp launched the drake on the dragon. Retains the four key characteristics we've come to expect from smp first we have the end-to-end channel for pressure relief on any part of the saddle we have. The beat nose which relieves pressure on the front of your crotch whether they're hanging off the nose or in an aggressive position like climbing we have great sit. Bone support towards the rear of the saddle and of course the dip to follow. The contours of your body well the saddle is one millimeter narrower and two millimeters longer than the lite 209 i don't think you're going to notice that while riding you are going to notice the increased amount of padding over the dynamic but still having less padding than the light 209 more on par with what we consider to be. A traditional amount of padding keep in mind its high-density foam so it visually looks to be more padded than it's going to feel smp incorporated some. Of our feedback into the dragon and created a larger flat section in the. Middle of the saddle if you've seen some of my other reviews you know i ride the glider and i write it noses down to create a nice flat mid section to move around on the dragon with its larger flat section allows you to drop that note and pick up a larger section to. Move for and aft this promotes movement of course but also allows you to transfer more of your weight towards the rear of the saddle flipping the saddle over reveals the same eight centimeters. Of clamp obul surface on the rails too to move that saddle fore-and-aft to dial in your position like no other saddle of course on the rear of the saddle here. You have a limitation on saddlebags. Because of the design of the rails a lot of the hard clamp on types aren't supported so i recommend that you use a saddle bag that has a velcro strap to it. Of course my only downside to these. Saddles is typically the weight is a lot heavier at 310 grams the dragon is on the heavier side when we have a lot of saddles coming in between 150 and 220. Grams however you're not going to find a. Saddle that is more anatomically correct so the weight may be a factor but I'd. Highly suggest that you talk to us about picking the right saddle to fit you over the saddle weight I'm robbed with me keep. You cycle and this is the smp dragon if you have any questions about the dragon or any of the smp saddles we carry drop us a line or email us info at. We keep you cycling calm.

Fabrics range of award-winning innovative suttles based around a unique construction method traditionally a subtle cover is stretched over foam padding and screwed and stapled to the base creating an inconsistent subtle feel pressure points and a shelf life. That means foam in those saddles degrades over time and use fabrics. Unique process of bonding a waterproof microfiber cover to a flexible base creates a subtle is comfortable like. Clean and jersey by separating cover. Base and rail into three distinctive. Elements each can be optimized we've eliminated compression and tension in the base which is typically associated with traditional saddles and have been able to provide more comfort as a result brilliantly simple by rewarding the comfortable this technique has form the foundation of our entire saddle range all scoop saddles come in three fit options flat shallow and radius the flat. Shape is for those who are in a more aerodynamic position with more rider. Weight placed on the bars ideal for road bikes the shallow shape. Fits in the middle with a blend of support and fit and soon as those riding. Endurance road cross bikes mountain. Bikes with the bars and satellite or more even height the radius shape is for. Those in a more upright position where more weight is placed through the saddle and less on the hands fabric scoop saddles come in a range of color and rail options chromoly titanium or carbon. The benefits of titanium or improved flex and comfort from the rails eliminating road bust and reducing hits from the trail carbon is the racers choice where weight is a priority and a complete connection to the bike is preferred we also offer a top-of-the-line ultimate saddle option with a carbon based and rails the base has flex engineer denser still offers the same comfort but on a lighter package you

Hi i'm rob with me. And today the cell italia slr superflow. In both the 130 and the 145 the. Superflow might be cell italia's most. Revolutionary saddle since the creation of the flight in the early 90s it. Signifies a change but just five years. Ago the company was on the fence as to whether sit bone with mattered when it came to saddle fit and there was a lot. Of discussion internally as to whether cut outs actually made a difference for. Numbness or soft tissue pressure we now have one model available in two. Different sizes we have the 130 and the. 145 this signifies that the company has. Finally caved to the notion that not one. Size for every rider but that one model. Should be made in a variety of sizes to. Provide comfort for different riding positions and different sit bone widths it also comes with their largest cut out. They've ever made it starts just behind. The nose and goes almost all the way to. The rear the cut at the front is just under 19 millimeters wide and gets as. Wide as 34.7 at the rear and is a. Whopping 194 millimeters in length it's. Almost the entire length of the saddle and it's a first for them it's covered. In their standard high density eva padding so while it's firm it provides. Just enough sit bone support and give so. That as not to fatigue you and it's wrapped in genuine leather the shell. Features their 30 percent carbon. Composite with titanium rails connected. So there's a little bit of give which provides additional comfort and it's extremely lightweight in the 130 we see. Most riders with an aggressive position or narrow sit bones and this is going to. Standard for the slr shape now if you. Need a wider saddle slightly more upright position or slightly wider sit bones and previously weren't able to fit on the slr you have the 145 it's 15. Millimeters wider and it is intended to meet the riders who other i found the smaller slr shape of the past to be too narrow and didn't provide. Enough sit bone support for them the additional width is made up with a larger wing section here the cutout itself does not change in proportion to. The width keep in mind it does keep the. Slr hallmark characteristics it's flat. Across the top here it's got a gentle. Give for the wing but it's a largely. Flat saddle at the rear and it has a get out of the way nose so it's a little on. The narrower side in both sizes i'm. Going to tell you that while you're hanging off the front of the saddle that cutout is not so effective i'm rob if we.

Hi my name is gus alexandra palace I'm. Nick your editor canadian cycling magazine today I'm here to talk to you about the cell smp dynamic saddle a couple things about the saddle which i think are quite special this curved shape sf seles if he really believes this fits the human anatomy better gives you a more comfortable fit to would be the deep cut out in the center it's. There to relieve pressure on delicate tissues seles if he carries it rights to the nose which allows for better airflow keeping you cool in hot conditions it also takes pressure off of you as you're riding if you happen to move to as a front of the saddle some other things are unique about this saddle comes in various widths this better fits. Different sized sit bones the saddle. Itself 100% made in italy the steel rail. Version comes in at $300 the carbon fiber rail version comes in at 475 this. Is the cell snp dynamic. You.
