Somehow I think you like it.

It looks as though the Grand Canyon runs right through it!

As quoted from the website-

"The front section of the saddle with its beak-shaped design offers excellent support when pedaling hard and prevents your genitals from getting squashed in the process."

But I rather enjoy a nice nut-cracker now and again.

I think it looks neat but unless you can line you testy's up one behind the other i don'tt think you'd get much relief.....at least the point won't hook the shorts when moving in the saddle...

If you go back to the thread about the NYT article on erectile dysfunction and cycling you will find reference to this saddle. One of the articles in the issue of the scientific journal the NYT mentioned tested the oxygen flow to your crotch from a noseless saddle like the EasySeat (which always has full oxygen flow), a regular saddle (virtually no oxygen flow) and then this SMP thing. They found that the SMP was pretty close to the noseless saddle. Mind you, it is tested for road biking not steep tri biking so I don't know if it would carry over.

Very expensive saddle. The size of the cutout is intriguing, but I would think that those edges could be just as problematic, almost like sitting on 2 knives.

Should make racking by the saddle pretty easy.
