Covered in microfibre, it also features the completely open central channel, the original front nose and raised rear support, give these saddles a fascinating aerodynamic style. The Drakon model is the intermediate solution between the Dynamic and Lite 209 models. SMP4BIKE: SMP's set a fundamental objective: "To reduce pressure on the perineum and the consequent pressing of neuro-vascular structures in order to decrease the incidence of genitourinary problems and disorders in cyclists". To pursue this objective they set further goals: their saddles must have an innovative design and top quality. Research and development activities led to defining exclusive patents with regard to shape, curvature and the dimensions of the various parts that make up the saddle: The nose of the saddle (Beak): The characteristic "beak" shape has been designed to provide a flat base for efforts when sitting, for example when facing long uphill climbs and as help in descents, offering greater bike control using the thighs. Furthermore, the most important thing is that the "sensitive areas" are not pressed upward. The central channel: The central channel's unusual dimensions permits the "sensitive areas" of the human body not undergo any pressure. Cyclist's sitting position: Body weight is divided between the rear and the lower part of the ischial tuberosities. The position is helped by the rear profile shaped of the saddle in such a way to avoid pressure on the coccyx when riding on rough roads. The length of the bars/frame: It permits any cyclist to find the correct position on the saddle, making installation particularly simple and efficacious on practically any frame/seat post combination.
Comfortable from day 1 thanks to the softer leather, the B17 and B17 S Aged are ideal for sports touring, trekking and atb use.
Ready for racing, this saddle features a hard-wearing microfibre cover construction.

Road Saddle with Tirox Rails Ready for the long-haul, this road saddle is equipped with tough tirox rails. These rails are manufactured from a light alloy steel, which makes them highly resistant to friction and movement. Keeping this saddle's weight reduced to 211g, its rails also provide an exceptional strength to weight ratio. This means you'll enjoy its superior stiffness as it firmly integrates with your seatpost, without adding any unnecessary weight to your road bike.
Ready for racing, this saddle features a hard-wearing microfeel cover that's breathable, less deformable and lighter than traditional cover materials.

Technologies: Xsilite Rails: It is a material with a high percentage of silicon with particles of titanium and carbon. Light and strong, it turns out to be resistant to all weather conditions. The process through the stealth technology ensures a better strength against fatigue stress. Carbon Fibre Reinforced Shell: Nylon with high properties, enriched with a high proportion of long carbon fibre, in order to reinforce the characteristics of rigidity, stiffness and durability without compromising the weight. Biofoam: Biodynamic structure that follows the movements of the pelvis during pedalling, guarantees comfort, reduced weight, lasting resistance and ideal support. The “closed cells” surface ensures water is repelled from the padding. Microfeel Cover: Breathable and hard-wearing cover. It is lighter than traditional materials and less deformable. Anti-skid effect with an extraordinary grip on the saddle. Biocompatible material. Ergonomy: The perfect balance between the support and relief zone. The "big hole" helps maintain comfort under pressure and offers day long support and comfort. The central relief zone is long enough to work in all riding positions.
