    Since Im the first to rate this saddle let me start by saying that anyone rating such a subjective piece of gear is talking out their butt, literally. That being said, my experience has been nothing short of miserable with this saddle, if you want to call it that..........more like a brick with a hole in it. I ride about 200 miles a week and can ride just about any saddle for 2 hours, except this one. (tried the SMP composit too, same thing.) I could not find a "sweet spot". Hell I couldnt find a spot that just didnt torture me. I was looking for a saddle to reduce numbness on my soft parts. It DID do that, I think. But the pain on my sit bones far exceeded soft tissue discomfort. In my case, I think the saddle design consisting of a big dip in the middle just didnt agree with my anatomy.
    They sell alot of different sizes. Try 6 different saddles at $229.00 each, good marketing! (measuring sit bone width didnt work for me with these saddles)Trouble with saddles is... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars For Ladies and Men Too!, October 18, 2011
    This review is from: Selle SMP Lite 209 Saddle (Misc.)
    After a bout of prostitis took me out for several weeks, I needed a more protective saddle and got a screaming deal on the Ladies version which is exactly the same as a men's except for the piink embroidered lettering. Hey, who cares!. Who really cares?

    The saddle has a sweet spot but must be adjusted up and own and for and aft to find it. Once found, it's padding and wide slot provide good blood flow and protection as well as a well define sit spot. Getting forward for an uphill MTB climb takes a few experiments but it's easy after the right adjustments are made.

    Recommendation: Find a bike shop that allows at least three test rides. If it works for you as it did for me, go for it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful women's saddle, August 3, 2010
    This review is from: Selle SMP Lite 209 Saddle (Misc.)
    I absolutely love this saddle! It is so comfortable, that I have purchased three of them in order to have the same saddle on all my bikes.

    I have tried multiple saddles in search of the perfect fit, and this is it for me. Yes, saddles are incredibly subjective, and it helps to find a dealer who will let you try multiple saddles before purchasing them.

    I had this saddle installed by the fit expert at the bike shop. He not only got the front-to-back fit correct, but also the seat angle fit, so that it optimized the comfort of the dip in the saddle.
