The central channel of the Avant saddle varies in width (3-5.5cm) to contour the body and allow continuous circulation of blood flow in the prostate, artery of the penis, scrotum and testicles. The front section of the SMP Avant saddle with its beak-shaped design offers excellent support when pedaling hard and prevents your genitals from getting squashed in the process. The design of the outer SMP Avant mid-section is shaped to follow your thigh muscles to maximize blood circulation and pedaling power. Additional gel layer strategically placed throughout the Avant saddle makes it the ideal saddle for century and all-day riding.

Strengths:
Great fit, comfortable
Weaknesses:
None as of yet, well maybe for a weight nut it is a bit heavy. But when you weigh 255 a pound isn't too much to worry about.
Similar Products Used:
Selle SMP Strike Pro
Bike Setup:
Aegis Victory, SRAM Red group, Spinergy full carbon wheel set, Token integrated bar, Bontrager XXX seat post
Bottom Line:
I'd recommend this to anyone who wants their goods to stay intact. It keeps the blood flowing, keeps you from getting numb on long rides and frankly is the best saddle I have found after going through about 7. The next best was the Selle SMP Strike Pro which is a bit narrower. The Avant is new in SMP's lineup and I was glad I bought one.
