Saddle Fit & Sit Bone Guide
How to measure sit bones: Place a piece of corrugated cardboard on a firm chair. Sit normally for 30 seconds, then stand. Measure the distance between the centers of the two indentations. Add 20–25 mm for road cycling saddles. This is your optimal saddle width.

Complete the Kit
The Selle SMP Evolution is engineered specifically for riders with average-to-narrow pelvic anatomy seeking targeted perineal pressure relief without excess saddle width. Its streamlined 129mm hull prevents inner thigh friction while light foamed elastomer padding cushions the ischial tuberosities.
The Four Patented Selle SMP Ergonomic Innovations
Unlike conventional flat or minimally contoured saddles that compress sensitive nerve pathways, every Selle SMP saddle is shaped to conform dynamically to human pelvic anatomy:
- Patented Eagle-Beak Nose ("Becco d'aquila"): The downward-sloping beak provides a stable, flat base when sliding forward into deep aerodynamic drops without crushing genital soft tissue.
- Full-Length Central Relief Channel: Eliminates compression on the pudendal nerve, perineal arteries, and dorsal veins—clinically validated to preserve natural microvascular blood circulation and eliminate numbness.
- Rear Concave Depression: A recessed rear section that isolates the coccyx (tailbone), protecting it from direct contact and road vibration impacts over rough asphalt and gravel.
- Anatomical Ischial Support Shelf: Specially contoured rear surface distributes rider weight squarely onto the ischial tuberosities (sit bones) to maintain proper pelvic alignment and pedaling efficiency.
Anatomical Sit-Bone Fit Guidance
Selle SMP saddles are sized strictly by pelvic width rather than body weight. The Evolution is engineered specifically for cyclists with:
- Sit-Bone Width (Ischial Tuberosities): 9.0 – 11.5 cm (3.5 – 4.5 in) (Narrow to Average Pelvis)
- Padding Profile: Minimal / Light Padding (Foamed Elastomer)
- Primary Riding Posture: Road, Gravel, and Endurance drop-bar riding

How to Set Up & Measure
To verify your sit-bone measurement at home, sit upright on a piece of corrugated cardboard placed on a firm, flat chair for 30 seconds. Measure the distance between the center points of the two depressions in centimeters. Compare against the 9.0 – 11.5 cm (3.5 – 4.5 in) specification above.
Initial Setup Tip: Begin by mounting the saddle completely level using a spirit level placed across the front two-thirds of the hull. Because Selle SMP saddles have an ergonomic upward curve at the tail, fine-tune the saddle tilt by 1 to 2 degrees downward if you feel excess pressure on the pubic ramus when riding in the drops.
