Selle SMP EVO Carbon Plus Black Saddle

The Selle SMP EVO Carbon Plus Black Saddle blends race‑ready efficiency with added comfort for riders who want elite performance without sacrificing long‑ride support. Built on Selle SMP’s patented Designed on Your Body ergonomics, the EVO Carbon Plus pairs a reinforced carbon shell with intermediate EVA padding and carbon rails to deliver exceptional pressure relief, stability, and ultralight weight for modern road, gravel, triathlon, and performance MTB builds.

Commonly installed during professional bike fitting and premium bicycle servicing across Queensland and Australia, the EVO Carbon Plus is ideal for cyclists seeking a refined balance of speed, comfort, and precise fit.

Performance Ergonomics with Added Comfort

The EVO Carbon Plus retains Selle SMP’s iconic shaping to encourage natural pelvic rotation and consistent sit‑bone support while reducing pressure on sensitive areas. Compared with ultra‑minimal variants, the Carbon Plus introduces more cushioning for endurance rides and high‑frequency training—without dulling pedalling efficiency.

Suitable for:

• Road racing and endurance riding
• Gravel and cyclocross
• Triathlon and time trial positions
• Cross‑country MTB
• Performance commuting

Compatible with traditional bicycles and e‑bikes.

Intermediate EVA Padding for Long Efforts

A carefully tuned EVA padding layer absorbs vibration and road chatter, improving comfort on mixed surfaces and longer rides while maintaining a firm, performance feel. This makes the saddle a strong option for riders transitioning from minimal saddles who want more support over distance.

Carbon Rail Construction for Maximum Weight Savings

The unidirectional carbon rails (7.0 × 9.0 mm) deliver exceptional stiffness‑to‑weight performance, ideal for race builds. The reinforced carbon shell provides durability and controlled flex for consistent support under load.

Fit Profile & Rider Guidance

• Fit: Unisex (men and women)
• Sit bone width: approximately 9.0–13.0 cm
• Apparel size: XS–L

This profile is frequently recommended during bike fitting for riders seeking a snug, efficient platform with added comfort.

Seatpost Compatibility Recommendations (Carbon Rails)

For optimal safety and performance with carbon rails:

• Use a seatpost that allows accurate saddle positioning and alignment
• Avoid sharp‑edged clamps that could damage carbon rails
• Ensure clamp jaws match the rail profile for broad, even contact
• Minimum 8 cm² clamp contact area; minimum 32 mm contact length
• Clamp surfaces should be parallel and symmetrical
• Use clamps designed for 7×9 mm oval carbon rails (especially with lateral clamps)

Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended.
