But that's patently not true, unless you believe that they are losing money on every TRK they sell for ~£35 ?
I'd be willing to pay for the shape, with materials similar to a cheap Specialized for say, £120, which is basically double what Specialized would charge, but I just can't understand something as basic as this http://www.wiggle.co.uk/selle-smp-drakon-saddle/ for a RRP of £195

TRK is hardly a high end saddle, just cheaper plastic material and shitload of foam/gel.
but I just can't understand something as basic as this wiggle.co.uk/selle-smp-drakon-saddle/ for a RRP of £195.
Buy it from Italy or Germany, like I said, it's a very small company that manufactured in-house, smaller than Fizik even.
The difference is Specialized is a large company that outsource manufacturing, whether SMP is a much smaller company despite appearance, they also sell bicycles which helped promote their range of saddle.
TL:DR; Specialized can afford to go cheaper, SMP couldn't.
