Selle SMP F30 Saddle - Men's

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.

Ergon SR3 Pro Carbon Saddle - Men's

You know the killer grips and the awesome mountain bike saddles, but Ergon's branching out into the road market with the SR3 Pro Carbon Saddle, which delivers the comfort that the company is known for in a sleek, light, and powerful package that's made for the tarmac. As the name suggests, Ergon places comfort above all else, so it used extensive analysis to map out the carbon-fiber shell, resulting in "hollows" that provide a comfortable pocket for your sit bones.

The shell is covered with thin progressive dampening layers to help reduce road vibration, and finished with a nose-mounted micro damper that takes smoothness to the next level. Even better, the shell is designed to float independently of the rails, which makes it one of the most forgiving saddles on the market. The carbon fiber fails are light and strong, obviously, but they also offer 30mm of fore-aft adjustment to help you nail the fit, and the synthetic leather is easy to clean and finished with a silicone coating on the sides, which lets your legs slide easily over the cover without getting irritated.

Fi'zi:k Antares 00 Versus Evo Saddle - Men's

The Antares 00 Versus Evo Saddle from Fi'zi:k represents the firm's top-tier saddle for riders who match it's Chameleon Spine Concept with a pressure relieving channel. Its full carbon construction drops grams and delivers stiffness while still offering all-day comfort. Thanks to the Versus Evo full channel, Fi'zi:k is able to focus on pressure relief at soft tissue areas while the high modulus full carbon shell is tuned for maximum power transfer.

Its close relationship with the pros led the firm to the realization that there was a critical link between saddle shapes and profiles, spine flexibility and pelvic rotation, and comfort. Using its Spine Concept Evo fitting system, the Antares is a slightly waved profile saddle designed for Chameleons, meaning riders with a medium degree of body flexibility and low pelvic rotation while pedaling.

Its Mobius carbon rail is a single, proprietary closed-loop design providing balanced weight distribution that further contributes to its stiffness and eliminates any pressure hotspots on the ischial bones. The cover is applied over the padding with a vacuum process that enables a more progressive cushioning, while the surface texture provides more grip so you stay put while pushing a big gear.

Selle SMP Pro Carbon Rail Saddle - Men's

Selle SMP designs its saddles with an overall objective of reducing pressure on the perineum and eliminating the pressing of neurovascular structures while riding. It's achieved through the Italian manufacturer's innovative designs and countless hours of research and development, with the Pro Carbon Rail Saddle being a favorite amongst those who like to rack up the miles.

The Pro Carbon is best suited for cyclists with medium-wide to wide pelvises who shop for pant waist sizes in the 34 to 39-inch range, as it features a longer and wider shell than other models in this range. It bears the distinct curvature and support features inherent to this group of saddles, with the characteristic "beak" shaped nose designed to provide a flat base while sitting, without excessive pressure on the genital area. SMP's pronounced central channel is also incorporated, which further reduces pressure on the pudendal nerve and surrounding soft tissue. The back of the saddle is raised for an enhanced seated pedaling position, where body weight is divided between the rear and lower part of the ischial tuberosity region. This shape also helps reduce overall pressure on the coccyx while riding over rough surfaces.

The saddle's foam elastomer padding gets wrapped in soft leather over its durable nylon/carbon composite shell that rides on carbon fiber rails, ensuring a secure perch that'll hold up both road and mountain applications.

The Selle SMP Pro Carbon is available in one size, 278 x 148mm, and comes in the color Black. The Pro is handmade in Italy and has a claimed weight of 290 grams.

Syncros Belcarra V 1.0 Saddle - Men's

Selle Italia Novus SuperFlow L Saddle - Men's

Selle Italia's reputation for durability, comfort, and style has long stood nearly unparalleled by any other saddle manufacturer in the industry. The Novus SuperFlow L Saddle falls right in line with this tradition, boasting impeccable comfort and timeless style to shepherd you through any cycling adventure. Say goodbye to numb nethers and hello to many miles of comfortable pedaling.

The SuperFlow L gets its name from the noticeable cutout down the center of the saddle that lets cooling air flow through and helps relieve pressure on your perineal artery and surrounding sensitive tissues. In comparison to its cousin, the Flow, the SuperFlow L's cutout is longer and wider to amplify its benefits. This cutout also increases comfort by shifting the contact points to your sit bones, which are much better equipped to handle the weight without discomfort.

Selle Italia adds just a bit more padding to the Novus SuperFlow L Saddle than it does for the top-of-the-line SLR saddles, allowing it to maintain comfort across a wide range of cycling endeavors. Whether you're tackling trails, climbing a pristine mountain pass on tarmac, or wrestling gravel and mud on a cyclocross bike, this saddle can handle it all and keep you comfy throughout.

The Selle Italia Novus SuperFlow L Saddle is available in a long, generously wide profile to provide a range of positioning options to riders of all levels and disciplines. Riders with narrower sit bones may prefer the Novus SuperFlow S with its narrower, 137mm stance.

Selle SMP Plus Saddle - Men's

When it comes to comfort, it only takes one ride down a cobbled street for your sit bones to get the rude awakening that your saddle just doesn’t have what it takes in the cushion department. Fortunately, companies like Selle SMP have a deep understanding of the punishment that rough roads can put on the body, which is why they craft thePlus Saddle for Men with a little extra cushion to take away the sting. This saddle combines sleek, hand-stretched leather and Lorica uppers with a generous 159mm width to keep you supported through the long miles.

At first glance, the Plus Saddle might cause some confusion with its overpronounced downturned nose, but we assure you that there’s a purpose to this well designed (albeit unusual) appearance. Selle’s downturned saddle nose offers significant benefits to your ride. First, it combines with the wide center channel to reduce pressure on your most sensitive anatomy, but secondly it offers a perch to balance on when you’re out of the saddle and crushing steep grades, but need to put just a little extra torque down.

Fi'zi:k Arione 00 Versus Evo Saddle - Men's

The Arione 00 Versus Evo Saddle from Fi'zi:k is the firm's top-tier saddle offering riders who match it's Snake Spine Concept with a pressure relieving channel. Its full carbon construction drops weight and delivers stiffness while still offering all-day comfort. Thanks to the Versus Evo full channel, Fi'zi:k is able to focus on pressure relief at soft tissue areas while the high modulus full carbon shell is tuned for maximum power transfer.

Using its Spine Concept Evo fitting system, the Arione is a flat profile saddle designed for Snakes, meaning riders with a high degree of body flexibility and no pelvic rotation while pedaling.

Its Mobius carbon rail is a single, proprietary closed-loop design providing balanced weight distribution that further contributes to its stiffness and eliminates any pressure hotspots on the ischial bones.

Selle SMP Vulkor Carbon Saddle - Men's

Selle SMP saddles are among our best sellers and it really doesn't come at a surprise since the brand has been building high-quality saddles by hand since 1947. Discerning cyclists are attracted to its lightweight builds, appropriate padding, and unique shapes that yield a comfortable ride. The saddle we have here, the Men's Vulkor Carbon Saddle is based on the Composit shell but drops the padding for those who prefer a firmer feel and want to drop some grams. What remains is SMP's signature drop nose, a design that might look bazar compared to other saddles on the market, but in use, almost all cyclists that have tried it rave about the newly found comfort and end up replacing the saddles on all of their rides.

This Vulkor's carbon-reinforced shell and fixing plates, along with its full-carbon rails and minimal padding build up a saddle that comes in at a feathery 175-grams. Selle SMP adds some raised stitching across the saddle's cover adding a touch of functional grip and a wonderful aesthetic. That cover comes in either soft, real leather on the black model or durable, synthetic microfiber on the white and yellow fluo versions.

The Vulkor sits in the medium to wider shell width in the Selle SMP lineup and the firm uses the cyclist's pant size as the recommended sizing structure when selecting a saddle. That being said, if you're between a 32-37-inch waist size, chances are good that the 136mm wide Vulkor will work for you. It does eschew padding altogether, so it's for the type of rider who prefers to feel as much of the road as possible or just let your chamois handle the padding duties.

The saddle's sloping nose provides a flat base to support the ischium while alleviating pressure on sensitive bits, regardless of your saddle to bar differential. The Vulkor also features SMP's pronounced central channel, which further reduces pressure on the pudendal nerve and surrounding soft tissue. The raised tail helps coach the hips into a forward rotation for more efficient pedaling, a position that also keeps body weight divided between the rear and lower part of the ischial tuberosity region. This shape also helps reduce overall pressure on the coccyx while riding over rough surfaces so you can sit in with the bunch and launch a well-timed attack over the pavé sectors that define your rides or races.  

Fi'zi:k Aliante 00 Versus Evo Saddle - Men's

An informal survey here at the Competitive office finds the Fi'zi:k Aliante saddle as one of the favorite platforms. Those looking for a little more pressure relief without resorting to a full cutout and seek its lightest weight chassis will gravitate to its Aliante 00 Versus Evo Saddle. Coming in at a claimed weight of almost 26g lighter than the Aliante R1 Versus Evo, this is the one to have if you seek comfort and chase grams. The saddle's stiff, high modulus full carbon shell and Mobius carbon rails ensure no watts are wasted, yet offers a comfortable ride over bumpy roads.

The saddle's body uses its Versus Evo construction, which provides the benefit of a pressure relieving center channel for the soft tissue, keeping you pedaling comfortably for hours at a time, while the full carbon shell is tuned for maximum power transfer. Two sizes cater specifically to your body stature and power output on the road. Since it's shell is made entirely from carbon, the 00's Versus Evo saves some weight over the R1, which features carbon injected nylon.

In Fi'zi:k's Spine Concept estimation of cyclists-as-animals, the Aliante is designed for bulls. Bulls have a relatively rigid spine and tend to rotate their pelvises forward when they ride, an adjustment that requires a saddle with a larger, deeper pocket. That said, this saddle shape has gained a versatile following, and we know many cyclists who can touch their foreheads to their knees while stretching but still prefer the Aliante.

The 00 also saves weight by using rails made in a Mobius carbon fiber closed loop design instead of the typical Kium alloy. The rails deliver better weight distribution and eliminate pressure hotspots on the ischial bones. The whole thing is capped off with a cover that's applied over the padding with a vacuum process that enables for a more progressive cushioning, while the surface texture provides additional grip for a more secure interface with the bib shorts.

Blackburn Ligera Saddle

Whether you ride or race, you probably strive to build your rigs with the lightest components available. But light doesn't always mean comfortable. The Blackburn Ligera Saddle gives you a narrow, race-ready profile with a shape and padding that will make all those long rides super comfortable.

The Ligera is designed with a narrow 135mm-wide paddle area. And while it won't be comfortable for every rider, those with smaller frames or who enjoy maximum room for leg movement often prefer the narrow width. At 275mm long, it provides ample room to move fore and aft to situate yourself for maximum power transfer. The saddle features foam padding that is comfortable without being too squishy. A cutout in the center helps to additionally relieve pressure to sensitive areas such as the perineal zone. It also uses the design from the Ciento, the Flexure3 base, which helps to minimize the vibration from rough roads.

The Ligera is built upon titanium rails that also absorb shock while keeping the saddle a lighter 295 grams. A seamless cover ensures that you won't feel irritation from rubbing, and it also helps to save your expensive cycling bibs from undue friction and pilling.

Blackburn's Ligera Saddle is available in one size and in the colors Black and Silver.

Selle SMP Composit Carbon Rail Saddle - Men's

While most of the cycling world can recognize Selle SMP saddles at a glance, there's still something that's just so distinctive about their appearance. Selle didn't design the beaked nose, high back, and large central channel for no reason, after all, and while all the above are common features on Selle saddles, each has been tailored to fit specific riding styles, anatomies, and disciplines. The Composit Carbon Rail Saddle, for example, employs the same shape and materials as the SMP4BIKE series, but it ditches the foam to better suit aggressive road riders with narrow to average pelvises.

The lack of foam makes the Composit slightly less cushy, but that's not a racer's primary concern. More important are support and stiffness, which the Composit delivers via unidirectional carbon fiber rails, and an elastomer nylon and carbon composite shell. The beaked nose provides more space where you need it, and the pronounced center channel relieves pressure on other soft tissue areas so you can sit comfortably without loading up on padding. The raised "whale tail" back gives you something to push against, and the ultra-light, yet impressively strong unidirectional carbon fiber rails handle years of hard riding without getting loose or losing strength.

Selle Italia XL-R Superflow L - Men's

The XL-R Superflow L saddle is part of Selle Italia's off-road lineup featuring lightweight yet sturdy construction and a shape optimized for racking up miles and miles of singletrack with comfortable support. It has a forward-slanting nose for comfort while climbing, paired with a large center cutout designed to reduce pressure and improve bloodflow in the perinal area for long days in the saddle. At 145mm wide, this is the wider option of the two X-LR Superflow offerings.

With rails constructed from a blend of titanium and stainless steel, the XL-R Superflow L provides some shock absorption on rough trails while managing to improve durability and shed some weight compared to traditional saddle rails. The cushy double-density padding further mutes trail chatter and has a softer tip for uphill comfort, with higher density padding under the sit bones for more support when you're mashing on the pedals. The Fibra-Tek cover ensures longevity for years to come while helping keep the weight down, and comes with reinforced edges to protect the side of the saddle against impacts.
