Product Details

Comfort and dynamic response as an unbeatable combination: The SMC Men delivers optimum flow on the trail. The special orthopedic foam is thicker and more plush than our successful SM Series while the men’s specific relief channel prevents soft-tissue numbness and pain. You’re comfortable in every position and ready to put the pedal to the metal. Leave saddle discomfort in the dust and enjoy the trails with the SMC Men!

Men’s Health
The Ergon development team carried out intensive research on the topic of men’s health. They found that the main cause of complaints when cycling is the saddle. Often times, men experience too much pressure on their perineal area leading to pain, discomfort, numbness and potentially more severe health problems. The SMC Men relieves this pressure with a very specific relief channel as well as better surface area distribution under the bony structures. Through MRT, CT analysis, many prototypes and test riders, we have ergonomically adjusted the saddle to the specific anatomy and needs of men.

Male and Female pelvic differences
In contrast to the female anatomy, the male sit bones are more narrow and where the two sides of the pelvis come together in the front is much higher. This results in more pressure being distributed on the male’s sit bones vs. a broader area of sit bones and pubic bones in women. We have taken this significant difference between male and female anatomy into consideration during saddle development.

• The padding of the SMC Men is made of thick orthopedic comfort foam, which we have designed for mountain biking to be particularly ergonomic, yet extremely durable. This foam ideally supports the pressure distribution.
• The progressive relief channel, which deepens towards the rear, leads to an opening through the saddle shell. This construction combines all of the advantages of a cut-out saddle without the potential disadvantages. This design gives the saddle shell more forgiveness as well as specifically relieves perineal pressures.
• The saddle’s flat rear and minimal ramp provides excellent freedom of movement for dynamic positioning while mountain biking.
• A Topeak QuickClick mount is integrated in all models of the SMC Men Series. This removable QuickClick mount allows for Topeak saddlebags to be easily attached in a streamline fashion.
