I'm trying to figure out which SMP saddle to try. Obviously one of the cheaper versions would be a better option as a try-out as no-one seems to offer 'test' saddles.
Can anyone give advice re the basic differences between the different models?
In the past I've been using an SLR XP which has been OK for 3 years & now seems to give me grief. I'm guessing that I get on best without too much padding & as the SLR is about 130mm wide perhaps I should choose an SMP of similar width.
Can anyone give better advice?
Many thanks

    If you call this company they will send you one to try providing you tape the rails and don't damage it. If you don't like it, return it and they will refund your money. I have a Glider and its the most comfy saddle I've used but not perfect.

    I just bought the cheapest one - Strike TRK - seems softer than the usual performance saddles but is comfortable. The selle website has some downloads which may help. Got mine for thirty quid from chain reaction.
