The new Ergon road saddle for men. Due to their specific pelvic anatomy men are sitting more upright on the saddle. This creates a higher pressure in the highly sensitive perineal area, which often leads to any of the varying forms of discomfort. This is where the relief concept of the SR Men saddle comes into play. Through the falling relief channel with cut-out, the resulting pressure is evenly distributed onto the bone structures (sit bone and parts of the pubic blades). The Y-shape helps keep the freedom of movement high even when riding in the low position typical for road biking.Relief Inlays: More comfort thanks to the OrthoCell®-Inlays in the seating area, which help distributes pressure better.Large-Area Pressure Distribution: Optimal pressure distribution in the area of the sit and pubic bones by means of a flat, even contact area and top-quality padding foams.Effective Relief: The extreme deep and rearward increasing relief channel is complemented by a proper cut-out in the deepest spot. This construction combines all benefits of a standard cut-out saddle without its drawbacks (often a very stiff shell) producing a particularly high degree of strain relief of the sensitive perineal area. Exceedingly high pressures often are the cause for discomfort and numbness in the genital area.Shape: Through its Y-Shape the freedom of movement and legroom are maximized, while at the same time all bone structures are well supported.Ramp: The ramp particularly supports the bottom in the strongly forward tilted riding position, allowing for improved pressure relief in the genital area.Flat contour: Due to the more upright pelvis orientation the saddle surface is flat with great freedom of movement.Integrated Mount: Convenient removable mount for accessories like Topeak® saddle bags.Key Features:Shell: Carbon Composite,Rails: Carbon,Cover: Microfibre,Padding: Orthopaedic AirCell Foam with OrthoCell Pads,Weight: 175g (S/M), 185g (M/L),.Size:Small/Medium: 9-12cm Sit bone width,Medium/Large: 12-16cm Sit bone width.

The Selle SMP Women's Stratos saddle is covered in real leather on the black and microfibre on the white and has excellent "all-around" features such as Selle SMP's completely free central channel, the original eagle-beak nose and the raised rear giving this model a fascinating aerodynamic style and is the ideal option between the Women's Evolution and Glider models. SMP4BIKE: SMP's set a fundamental objective: "To reduce pressure on the perineum and the consequent pressing of neuro-vascular structures in order to decrease the incidence of genitourinary problems and disorders in cyclists". To pursue this objective they set further goals: their saddles must have an innovative design and top quality. Research and development activities led to defining exclusive patents with regard to shape, curvature and the dimensions of the various parts that make up the saddle. The nose of the saddle (Beak): The characteristic "beak" shape has been designed to provide a flat base for efforts when sitting, for example when facing long uphill climbs and as help in descents, offering greater bike control using the thighs. Furthermore, the most important thing is that the "sensitive areas" are not pressed upward. The central channel: The central channel's unusual dimensions permits the "sensitive areas" of the human body not undergo any pressure. Cyclist's sitting position: Body weight is divided between the rear and the lower part of the ischial tuberosities. The position is helped by the rear profile shaped of the saddle in such a way to avoid pressure on the coccyx when riding on rough roads. The length of the bars/frame: It permits any cyclist to find the correct position on the saddle, making installation particularly simple and efficacious on practically any frame/seat post combination.
Carbon Braided Rails Rather than a conventional solid or tubular rail, fi'zi:k's rails use an outer sleeve of braided carbon fibers forming a tube, with the void inside being filled by unidirectional carbon fibers. This construction is strong, light and stiff. Wing Flex Technology Wing Flex shell has engineered flexibility along the edges where the inner thighs contact the saddle. By allowing this area to flex, the rider can achieve a full range of leg movement in a wide range of riding positions. Wing Flex allows the saddle to adapt to the rider rather than the rider having to get used to the saddle. Integrated Clip System The Integrated Clip System (ICS) is an integrated interface in the saddle's base to allow quick attachment and removal of ICS accessories such as the Fi'zi:k saddle Pa:k and Blin:k light. It is a clean, easy, fast and secure attachment that does not require any tools. Tundra M1 is for The Snake: Flexible Spine If you are very spinally flexible (far less than 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Snake. You achieve the performance position using your spinal flexibility alone, not rotating your pelvis at all. You will like the flat, narrow and long shape of the Tundra.
