The Selle SMP EVO Plus Black Saddle is designed for performance‑focused cyclists who want the efficiency of a minimalist saddle with the added comfort of increased padding. Building on the proven shape of the EVO, the EVO Plus introduces intermediate‑level EVA padding, making it ideal for riders seeking long‑ride comfort without sacrificing precision, stability or lightweight performance.

The EVO Plus is a popular choice during professional bike fitting sessions and premium bicycle servicing across Queensland, especially for riders transitioning to high‑performance saddles who still want additional support.

Evolution of Performance with Added Comfort

The EVO Plus retains Selle SMP’s exclusive Designed on Your Body ergonomics, engineered to support natural pelvic rotation and reduce pressure on sensitive areas. Compared with ultra‑minimal saddles, the EVO Plus offers greater comfort while maintaining the firm, efficient feel demanded by experienced riders.

Its versatility makes it suitable across a wide range of disciplines:

Road cycling and endurance riding
Gravel and cyclocross racing
Cross‑country and marathon MTB
Triathlon, time trial and track cycling

The saddle is compatible with both traditional road bikes and e‑bikes, reflecting the needs of modern cyclists.

Intermediate EVA Padding for Long‑Distance Riding

The EVO Plus uses EVA padding carefully tuned to absorb vibrations and road shock while preserving a stable riding platform. This padding level reduces fatigue on longer rides and rougher surfaces, without introducing excess softness that can compromise pedalling efficiency.

For riders accustomed to performance saddles but seeking more comfort than a fully minimal design, the EVO Plus strikes a highly effective balance.

Fit Profile for Broad Rider Compatibility

The EVO Plus is best suited to cyclists with a sit bone width between 9.0 and 13.0 cm, generally corresponding to riders wearing XS to L cycling apparel. Its unisex design makes it appropriate for both men and women and is often recommended by bike fitters during saddle optimisation.

Lightweight, High‑Strength Construction

The saddle shell is manufactured from carbon‑reinforced nylon 12, delivering an excellent stiffness‑to‑weight ratio and long‑term durability. Riders can select between rail options depending on performance goals:

AISI 304 stainless steel rails for durability and reliability
Unidirectional carbon rails for maximum weight savings and race builds

Despite the added comfort, the EVO Plus remains impressively lightweight within its category.

Clean, Technical Aesthetic

Finished in classic black with no external cover, the EVO Plus offers a raw, technical appearance that complements modern performance bikes. Like all top‑tier Selle SMP saddles, it reflects meticulous Italian craftsmanship and decades of ergonomic research.
