Ergon Sport Gel Saddle

What kind of Saddle is Ergon SMC sport?

The new Ergon SMC saddle series is based on their popular, one-off SMC4 saddle and takes design elements from the SM MTB series, which is a slightly more performance / sporty mountain bike saddle. Although nearly identical in shape to the SM MTB saddles, the SMC saddles use softer foam, gel inlays, and increase comfort for long days in the saddle.

Is the Ergon SR Sport available for women?

The model I tested is from the men’s range and, as you can probably guess from that, there is also a women’s option as well; Emma really liked the SR Sport Gel, and Sarah’s been testing the Women’s SR Pro Carbon and we’ll have her full review very soon.

Why are Ergon saddles good for mountain biking?

With this in mind, Ergon develops high quality saddles allowing the rider and bike to become closer to one. Whether touring, mountain biking or road cycling – saddles from Ergon prevent feelings of numbness in the soft tissue area and are therefore designed to meet the needs of all cyclists.

The next saddle comes from Ergon, and it is a pretty interesting design. They have taken their standard SMC saddle, and inserted a lot of comfort-based features. That is why you have ended up with a saddle that looks perfect for racing, and even has a pretty low weight compared to some others, but is actually designed for comfort more than speed.

Nowhere is that more evident than with the Gel inserts. This is a feature not found on every saddle – this is in fact the first model we’ve included on our list with the gel inserts inside. However, if you are looking for a saddle model that leans very much to the comfort end of the range, Gel is a great investment. It is as soft as padding, whilst also allowing for a level of shock absorption. That makes this saddle perfect for use on cross-country rides down bumpy off road trails.
