Selle SMP Forma saddle
Designed on your body
Forma has the same structure and design as the Carbon lite model. The body in elastomerized Nylon 12 filled with carbon fiber is covered in real leather in the black versions and Lorica microfibre in the colored ones. This model is not padded, therefore Forma is particularly suited for cyclists used to pedaling on rigid seats with an average width.
The Forma model has been designed for cyclists who are looking for greater seat comfort compared to that guaranteed by the narrower Composit version. The patented features by Selle SMP such as the completely free central channel, the original eagle-beak nose and the raised rear make these models additionally streamlined. "Designed on your body", the advertising slogan for the seat, defines it best.
Indicated for people with a medium-wide pelvis.
Surveys conducted by various universities in the United States, in Norway and in Austria have shown that the squashing of pelvic organs and pudenda arteries may have serious consequences on the genital apparatus of athletes and amateurs. The Patent SMP arises from the study of the different p ositions assumed by the racer in the various phases of the course and by the consequent interaction between the saddle, pe lvic organs and genitals – male and female – with an aim to preventing their getting squashed and rubbed, and at the same time increase the blood flow to the leg muscles. The central channel of the saddle, 3 to 5 cm wide, prevents the anus, the prostate, the pudenda veins the deep dorsal vein and artery of the penis, scrotum and testicles, and the labia majora and minora, and clitoris, not to be squashed at all, allowing a continuous and completely natural blood. In the SMP saddle the cyclist’s sitting position is spread out between the buttocks and the lower part of the bone of the pelvis (the ischiatic tuberosities).
The front part, characterised by the original eagle’s beak shape avoids the genitals from being squashed and offers a good supporting base in the characteristic thrust pedalling.
In the lower part of the saddle there is a concavity that prevents the coccyx from touching the saddle, thus avoiding the counterblow caused by uneven ground.
The line of union between the front and rear part follows the shape of the thigh muscles in order to always have the maximum circulation of blood for greater pedalling power and the reduction of bothersome tingling.
