Ergon Women's SMC Sport Gel Saddle

Ergon has made it their mission to address various persistent seating issues faced by mountain bikers. Building upon the tremendous success of their SM saddle series, they have introduced additional models for 2020, further refined to provide even greater comfort. The orthopedic foam used in these saddles is thicker, softer, and creates a larger contact area, ensuring a comfortable ride. These saddles feature a flat seat design, allowing for dynamic sitting in different positions without any tilting effects.

In keeping with Ergon's commitment to gender-specific solutions, the new SMC saddles come in versions tailored for both male and female riders. Recognizing that female riders typically experience high pressure in the genital area, the specific relief channel in the women's version addresses this issue effectively. Similarly, the male-specific model features a pronounced, rearward-positioned relief channel that provides maximum relief in the sensitive perineal area.

The saddles are equipped with orthopedic foam padding, complemented by gel pads, which work together to provide enhanced support and optimal pressure distribution. The large-area pressure distribution ensures that the sit and pelvic bones are subjected to optimal pressure, and the contoured surface area helps prevent saddle discomfort.

The pronounced relief channel in these saddles helps to avoid numbness and provides increased protection for the soft-tissue areas, with the male-specific model being specifically adapted to address these concerns. Additionally, the flexible side flanks of the saddles biomechanically enhance power transfer and reduce pressure on the thigh muscles, ensuring a more efficient and comfortable ride.

The Ergon SMC saddles cater to a wide range of sit-bone widths, accommodating riders with measurements between 12-16 cm. This versatility allows riders to find the perfect fit and enjoy the benefits of the innovative design and features that Ergon has incorporated into these saddles.

Ergon's dedication to addressing the persistent seating challenges faced by mountain bikers is evident in the development of the SMC saddle series. By combining advanced materials, gender-specific design, and a focus on pressure distribution and comfort, Ergon has created a line of saddles that promise to elevate the riding experience for both male and female mountain bikers.
