The MTB comfort saddle specifically for women
The SM Women Sport Gel combines power, comfort and freedom of movement. It has gel pad inlays for pressure distribution, a women’s specific shape for optimal soft tissue pressure relief and a flat rear for freedom of movement.
Developed by women for women – for touring, all-mountain and enduro riding.
Features:
Completely new
The Ergon developers have taken a new approach to the topic of 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, in combination with scientific data, developed a new generation of comfort for women.
Pelvic flexibility
When women ride a mountain bike they tend to rock forward more 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 rocked-forward 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. In addition, the angle of the pubic bones to each other is larger. Ergon has also taken this into account to prevent discomfort in sensitive areas.
The sensitive genital area
Women have suffered discomfort for years on standard saddles. The SM Women alleviates sensitive soft tissue pressure with the tapered relief channel preventing numbness and pain. Alleviating this pressure better distributes the rider’s body weight more towards the sit bones while allowing 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 maximise comfort and enjoyment.
The pelvic bone has a unique V-shape and the saddle must offer the sit bones a large contact surface with the ability to meet the demand of different sitting positions. Various saddle widths are offered so that the usable seat surface corresponds to the rider's unique sit bone distance. The more forward and aggressive the rider sits, the further forward the sit bones contact the saddle.
CUSTOMISED RELIEF
Pressure relief
Based on intensive research and feedback from test riders, Ergon created a specific, tapered cut-out that supports and alleviates unnecessary pressures on sensitive female anatomy. This channel is precisely where women need relief.
ANATOMICAL GEL PADS
Consistent pressure distribution
When cycling, most of your body weight rests on the small saddle surface. To prevent discomfort in the extremely sensitive perineal and genital areas, the pressure is distributed as evenly as possible over the sit bones using anatomical gel pads.
ORTHOPAEDIC FOAM
Comfortable and durable
The main padding of this saddle series is made of orthopaedic foam, which is especially ergonomic for mountain biking and also extremely durable.
FLAT REAR
Best mobility for dynamic riding
Since MTB riders generally sit more upright on their saddles, Ergon has designed the ramp at the end of the saddle to be less steep. In addition, the radius of the leg cut-out is chosen so that the SM Women Sport Gel always has enough sitting area for a dynamic position. And when actively riding in a standing position, the saddle provides you with the space you need, but also the necessary support and control.
