Selle SMP Saddles

Most saddle designs work around pressure — padding it, redistributing it, cutting around it. Selle SMP Saddles take a different approach: eliminate the pressure point entirely. The brand's signature deep central channel and down-turned “Eagle Beak” nose are designed so that no part of the saddle contacts the perineal and vascular structures at all — a design philosophy the Padua-based company has been refining since 1947.

The collection at RA Cycles brings together Selle SMP's full handmade Italian lineup — Full Carbon, EVO 3D, Forma, Lite 209, and more — alongside a selection of Selle Italia saddles including the SLR Boost and Flite Tekno. All premium road saddles, priced from $449 to $749.

About Selle SMP

Selle SMP was founded in 1947 by Martino Schiavon in Padua, Italy — inspired by the road racing exploits of Fausto Coppi and Gino Bartali. The longest continuously-run saddle company in Italy, it’s now led by the founder’s sons Franco and Maurizio. The pivot to performance aftermarket saddles came in 2004, introducing a design that set SMP apart: a deep central channel running the full saddle length, a curved profile, and the down-turned “Eagle Beak” nose. The channel doesn’t redistribute perineal pressure — it eliminates contact with the vascular and nerve structures entirely. Every saddle is 100% handmade in their Padua factory. Learn more at Selle SMP’s official website.

RA Cycles stocks the complete Selle SMP handmade lineup. The Full Carbon and Full Carbon Lite sit at the top at $749 — the lightest builds with a full carbon shell and rails. The EVO 3D series applies 3D-molded padding to the signature curved channel profile, available in carbon ($689) or stainless rails. Below that, the EVO 30C, EVO 20C, Forma, Lite 209, and F30C cover the mid-range from $449. The collection also includes Selle Italia saddles — the SLR Boost Superflow, SLR 3D, Flite Tekno, and Novus Boost EVO — for riders who prefer a more traditional profile with Italian craftsmanship.
