There is a theory out there that riders who rock their hips should steer toward the curved profiles, while the rest of us should be happy with flatter ones. On the other hand, I've observed that the main cause of hip rocking seems to be a saddle that's too high.

Some years back a somebody tried to cure hip-rocking with this.


I can't think of a more efficient way for growing hemorrhoids and wearing out your chamois.
