 | Selle SMP Strike GLIDER
Selle SMP is a world famous Italian Cycle component manufacturer with a pedigree in saddles.
The patented Strike range has made an excellent name for itself already and bicyclerubber is pleased to offer the Glider model at this special price.
All the models of the STRIKE range have common patented characteristics, such as the original beak of the saddle nose, designed to supply a flat base for efforts when sitting for long climbs that have to be faced and as a help in downhill slopes, offering greater thigh control of the bicycle.
The central channel of the saddle is an uncommon characteristic because of its dimensions: almost a whole hand can be put in there and this prevents crushing of the gential area.
The cyclist’s seating pattern on the STRIKE saddle is shared between the buttocks and the lower part of the pelvic bones (the ischial tuberosities) and the position is favoured by the shape of its rear which, besides preventing squashing of the coccyx on uneven ground, allows gentle ins and outs from the rear when the ground requires it.
It was actually the users that pointed out how STRIKE is particularly valid in the front ins and outs also making it possible for those that practice extreme bike competitions with wide shorts to use it without any problem.
The length of the bars makes installation particularly easy on practically any combination of frame/saddle pillar.
STRIKE is produced by Selle SMP, a company founded in 1947 and therefore one of the pioneers of the sector in the world.
Check out the benefits of this acclaimed design - a scientific design that makes this one of the most comfortable saddles available.
To quote from The Journal of Sexual Health article on the subject by Breda et al.
...A cycle saddle with a new geometrical conception for maintaining the vascular perfusion of the genital-perineal region...
Apart from that, the saddle looks great.
The finish is nap leather and the casing is nylon 12 charged with carbon fibre and additional comfort comes from the foamed elastomer padding, the frame is AISI 304 tubular steel and the Glider version weighs in at just 260g.
