The STRIKE saddle is the pioneer in a new way of conceiving the bicycle saddle:
a meticulous study of the positions taken on during the race and the functional
analysis of the interactions of the various parts of the body with the saddle.
All the models of the STRIKE range have common patented characteristics, such as the original beak of the saddle nose, de-
signed 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 anus, prostate, venae pudendae, deep dorsal vein and artery of the penis, scrotum
and testicles in men, and the labia majora and minora and the clitoris, in women.
The cyclist’s seating pattern on the STRIKE saddle is shared between the buttocks and the lower part of the pel-
vic 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.
