I'm a big fan of the F30 for MTB/CX/gravel, both leisure, training and racing. I'm also a big fan of the Dynamic for road and gravel, definitely for leisure and training. I'm a little mixed about the Dynamic for racing, just depends on the race. I might need to swap the Dynamic out for another SMP during racing season, especially with crits.

I wish there were more saddle fit centres rather than bike fit!

Through trial and error, I’ve found that the SMP Composit and Evolution work well for me.

[@greshfit]

Excellent. Do you like one more than the other?

[@shoff535]

Not really, though the padding on the evolution is a a nice touch. So I might give the evolution a slight nod. I like the composit bc of no padding and it gives a very stable locked in feeling.

[@greshfit]

Glad you found what works! The non padded SMPs like composite definitely have a following. I had a customer recently who fell in love with the Vulkor which is basically a non padded Nymber.

Yeah, on the non padded seats you can see and feel little indentations where the pelvis can settle in if it’s a good fit.
On the other hand the evolution comes in a variety of colors (Celeste green) and therefore looks great on the Bianchi MegaPro 🤪

Look good feel good! 👍 :)
