Features

Completely New Design

The Ergon developers have taken a completely new approach to women’s mountain bike saddles. After intensive research with X-ray and CT analysis, they have created a new generation of saddles. Countless prototypes have been tested by both professionals and recreational riders. This feedback, combined with scientific data, developed a new generation of comfort for women.

Pelvic Flexibility

When women are on the MTB, they tend to rock more forward than men due to increased flexibility in the pelvis and hips. This often causes considerable pressure in the genital area. The SM Women is designed to support a woman’s wider and more forward-rocked bony structures while alleviating the sensitive soft tissue with a tapered cut-out.

The Deep Pubic Symphysis

Anatomically, the pubic symphysis (anterior cartilage connection between the two halves of the pelvis) is about a quarter lower in women than in men. Additionally, the angle of the pubic bones to each other is larger. We have taken this into account in the SM Women to prevent discomfort in sensitive areas.

The Sensitive Genital Area

Due to the characteristics of the women’s pelvis, women have suffered discomfort for years on standard saddles. The SM Women alleviates sensitive soft tissue pressure with a tapered relief channel, preventing numbness and pain. This design better distributes the rider’s body weight towards the sit bones, allowing for a more comfortable, pressure-free forward-rocked position.

The Right Size

The shape and size of the saddle must match the sit bone width of the rider to maximize comfort and enjoyment. The pelvic bone has a unique V-shape, and the saddle must offer the sit bones a large contact surface while adapting to various sitting positions. The more forward and aggressive the riding position, the further forward the sit bones contact the saddle. The saddle is available in sizes “Small/Medium” for sit bone widths of 9–12cm (3.5″–4.7″) and “Medium/Large” for sit bone widths of 12–16cm (4.7″–6.3″).

Technologies

Customized Relief

Based on intensive research and feedback from our test riders, we created a specific tapered cut-out that supports and alleviates unnecessary pressures on sensitive female anatomy. This channel is precisely where women need relief.

Orthopedic Foam

Comfortable and durable. The main padding of this saddle series is made of orthopedic foam, which is especially ergonomic for mountain biking, yet extremely durable.

Flat Rear

Best mobility for dynamic riding. Since MTB riders generally sit more upright on their saddles, we have designed the ramp at the end of the saddle to be less steep. Additionally, the radius of the leg cut-out ensures the SM Women provides ample sitting area for a dynamic position. When riding in a standing position, the saddle offers the necessary space, support, and control.
