Ergon SMC for Cyclists

Developed in-house in Koblenz, Germany by designers, ergonomic scientists, and engineers who are passionate about cycling, just like you, the Ergon SMC Men's Saddle delivers maximum comfort on the trail. Ergonomically designed for mountain biking, the men's-specific shape features a thicker, more plush orthopedic foam padding and a unique rearward-positioned relief channel to provide all-day comfort over any terrain.

The men's-specific design and larger surface area of the Ergon SMC Men's Saddle reduce pressure peaks and hot spots by perfectly distributing the rider's weight on their sit bones, providing pressure-free comfort. The rearward-positioned comfort relief channel is specifically designed for men to eliminate pressure, numbness, and pain in the perineal and genital areas.

Orthopaedic comfort foam padding provides enhanced support and optimal pressure distribution, while the comfortable microfiber cover is hygienic, washable, and long-wearing. The flexible side flanks biomechanically enhance power transfer and reduce pressure on the thigh muscles, and the saddle is designed for a sit-bone width of 9-12 cm.

Ergon's approach to design is driven by the philosophy of "Rider and bike together as one." The design of their saddles and grips is built to match the form of the body, leading to a better distribution of opposing forces and the elimination of unpleasant pressure points and related discomforts.

Ergon's designers are also passionate cyclists, and they exhaustively develop and test new concepts and ideas where they will be used – in the heat of competition, on the road, in the forest, and on the bike paths throughout the city. One hundred percent of Ergon's engineering and development capacity is under one roof in the beautiful city of Koblenz, Germany, where every process, from computer simulations to rapid 3D prototyping to the final product form, is highly integrated and tightly controlled.

Professional riders play a major role in the development of Ergon's products. Competition pushes expectations to higher levels, while subtle feedback from riders who spend their lives in the saddle leads to better product designs for everyday cyclists. The Ergon SMC Men's Saddle is just one example of their commitment to creating innovative, high-performance cycling products that enhance the rider's experience.
