Ergon SMS Sport Men Saddle NEW!

Meet the NEW and revolutionary Ergon SMS Sport Men Saddle! Shorter more compact, it's designed specifically for male mountain bikers seeking a lightweight, high-performance saddle. The shorter (approx. 14mm shorter), streamlined shape allows for movement freedom and less snagging of shorts on saddle nose while also reducing weight while maintaining comfort through an anatomically optimized relief channel that protects sensitive areas. Premium orthopedic foam ensures lasting support, and the innovative Y-shaped, flattened rear design allows unrestricted movement for aggressive riding positions. This saddle delivers precise comfort and freedom, enhancing your MTB performance with expert engineering tailored to your body’s needs.

The right size for the highest comfort

The V-shaped pelvic bones always need a sufficiently large contact surface. The shape and size of the saddle surface must match the rider's sit bone distance so the ergonomic features of the saddle work properly. The two available saddle widths are designed so that the contact surface corresponds to the sit bone distance. The more forward a rider sits, the further forward the sit bones will contact the saddle.

 

Targeted relief specifically for men

Intensive research lead Ergon’s development team to identify the saddle as the main cause of cycling discomfort for men. Contrary to what many cyclists think, the genitals themselves rarely experience discomfort as they can move to avoid the seated pressure. Rather, it’s high pressure on the extremely sensitive perineal area that can lead to numbness. The SMS Sport Men offers ideal relief for the male perineum. Using endless prototypes and thousands of test kilometers, Ergon has tailored the saddle specifically to the anatomy and needs of male mountain bikers.

More freedom for the legs

Men have a less flexible pelvis than women and a reason why male cyclists generally sit more upright on the saddle, placing more pressure on the sit bones. Because of this, a man's saddle can be narrower in the transition area between the rear of the saddle and the saddle nose (Y-shape), which gives the legs more freedom and space when pedalling.

Correct pressure distribution provides effective relief

To protect the sensitive perineal area, pressure must be shifted precisely to the sit bones and parts of the pubic arch. The SMS Sport Men achieves this with a flat and even relief surface that is perfectly adapted to the more upright male pelvis and offers the highest possible freedom of movement. The padding cushions and relieves pressure using the highest quality orthopedic foams.
