Selle smp lite 209 for females

[Cuchilo]

Is the selle smp lite 209 designed for men only or is it unisex ?
I notice selle smp do a female version of the saddle but are the rest of them only for men ?

According to Steve Hogg in this excellent article they are all unisex in fit, with the only difference in the female-specific ones being cosmetic (code for pink stitching). Of course, things may have changed since he wrote the article, but given the design philosophy described in the article, that seems improbable. Effective widths and slope and such do vary a lot between models though.

I have never seen a unisex person...but women's saddles are different to reflect the difference in anatomy particularly the width of the sit bones. Many women will be very uncomfortable on a mens' saddle and vice-versa (though not exclusively)

My partner has the SMP Drakon and she has no problems at all with it. Her bike fitter let her test it for a few weeks to ensure she was comfortable.
