In general:

SMPs like many saddle are very susceptible to tilt adjustments....but unlike other saddles where you slide off the front (nose low) or get numbness (nose high) the SMP due to its swoopiness (is that a thing?) can do other things. Also due to the top swoop, fore/aft can change things quite a bit. Ofc the swoopiness alters saddle height depending on how far forward/back you sit on it. 2-bolt seatposts are wonderful things, LOL.


Takes a while to dial in right. I loved my SMP Composit (no padding), up until a Dam Road that had terrible expansion joints every 10m for about 30km. Oouch. Went to a SMP Hell and enjoyed it since.
