Frequent position changes with Ergon

Ergonomics specialist Ergon is building new saddles for cross, enduro and freeride disciplines. The mid-season models are both designed to provide optimized freedom of movement with plenty of flex and are also extremely lightweight thanks to the use of carbon.

SRX3 Pro is Ergon's first addition to its portfolio: its preferred terrain is the cross bike, as a V-shaped design of the saddle surface in the seat area is intended to provide optimized freedom of movement, especially in comparison to typical road bike saddles. In addition, the rear is designed so flat that it is easier to jump onto the bike after a carrying passage. Carbon is used for the seat shell to keep the weight low, Ergon indicates a total weight of 260 grams for the SRX3.

The SME3 Pro is Ergon's second mid-season innovation. Fabien Barel was involved in its development and the result is a saddle that is at home in the all-mountain, enduro or freeride sector. Compared to the well-known SM3, a pronounced V-shape design and the smoother contour in the sit bone area are ideal for frequent changes in sitting position and seat height. The flat seat surface and sloping rear are also suitable for switching between sitting and downhill positions behind the saddle. The saddle comes in two frame variants (with metal stays and carbon stays) and two widths (small and medium); the S saddle tips the scales at 190 grams. Carbon fiber material is used for the seat shell on both models, which should optimally combine light weight and flex.
