Drakon Saddle

The Selle SMP Drakon is a performance road saddle built around the Italian brand's signature central channel design, which relieves pressure on soft tissue during long efforts. Whether you are grinding up the Western Ghats, completing a century ride through Pune's countryside, or sitting in the saddle for back-to-back commutes in Delhi's traffic, the Drakon is engineered to keep you comfortable and efficient across many hours of riding.

Our Take

For Indian riders logging serious kilometres in heat exceeding 35°C, saddle comfort is not a luxury — it is a necessity. The Drakon's pronounced cutout and upward-curving nose reduce hotspots that worsen in sweaty conditions, making it a strong choice for endurance riders in Chennai, Hyderabad, and Ahmedabad where summer rides demand all-day comfort. It suits riders who favour an aggressive-to-moderate position and want Italian craftsmanship at a premium but justifiable price point.

Sizing for Indian Riders

Selle SMP saddles fit based on sit-bone width and riding position rather than a simple S/M/L scale. Indian riders accustomed to narrower saddles may need a fitting session before committing. The Drakon suits a moderate to aggressive road position. In warm conditions, chamois compression increases sit-bone pressure, so riders should size up in sit-bone measurement if between sizes.

Compatibility Notes

The Drakon mounts on any standard 7×7 mm rail clamp, making it compatible with virtually all road, gravel, and triathlon seatposts including round, oval, and most integrated designs. Rail material should be confirmed against your seatpost clamp spec. Clean the rails periodically to prevent corrosion, especially after monsoon rides or sweaty summer sessions.

Pairs Well With

Complete your contact-point setup with a quality seatpost offering micro-adjust clamping, high-density cycling shorts or bib shorts with a performance chamois, bar tape for wrist comfort on long climbs, and a saddle bag or seat-mount storage for Indian touring routes through Coorg or Ooty.
