Ergon SM Pro Men's SaddleThis mountain bike saddle features a dependable microfibre cover construction, which is hard-wearing and makes it easy to change position. Ergon has also equipped this model with TiNox rails, so you can benefit from their strong hold to your seatpost as you blast across the mountain. Another benefit is its nylon composite shell, which provides fantastic flexibility when weaving between the trails at speed. Engineered for comfort, this model comes complete with orthopaedic aircell foam with orthocell pads, so you can enjoy pressure relief for longer. With the assistance of the latest scientific studies and intensive prototyping Ergon's interdisciplinary development team - consisting of sports scientists, industrial designers, engineers and test riders - have come up with a new generation of pressure-relief men's saddles. The SM Men saddles effectively avoid discomfort and numbness for most applications in mountain biking - for most types of mountain bike riders. Features:Shell: Nylon CompositeRails: TiNoxCover: MicrofibrePadding: Orthopaedic AirCell Foam with OrthoCell PadsSmall/Medium: 9-12cm Sit bone widthMedium/Large: 12-16cm Sit bone widthWeight:: 235g (S/M), 245g (M/L)Technologies:Relief Inlays: Increased comfort due to OrthoCell-Inlays in the seating area, which help distribute pressure better.Large-Area Pressure Distribution: Perfect pressure distribution in the area of the sit and pubic bones by means of a flat, even contact area and high end padding foams.Flat Rear: The narrow, slightly inclining rear with a flat contour and a minimal ramp-up give great freedom of movement on the downhills.Flat contour: Due to the more upright pelvic orientation the saddle surface is flat with great freedom of movement.Effective Relief: The extremley deep and rearward increasing relief channel is complimented by a proper cut-out in the deepest spot. This construction combines all the benefi ts of a standard cut-out saddle without its drawbacks (often a very stiff shell) producing a particularly high degree of pressure 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 ideally supported.Integrated Mount: Convenient removable mount for accessories like Topeak saddle bags.Buy Ergon Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

Assos EQUIPE RS Summer Bib Shorts S9 WerksteamThe Assos EQUIPE RS Summer Bib Shorts S9 Werksteam benefit from Assos' experience of clothing World Tour professional riders. With such demands placed on the kit by pro riders, this has pushed Assos' engineering team to create their finest bib shorts yet, with incredible muscle support, innovative construction and class-leading comfort.A-Lock EngineeringAt the heart of the S9 bib shorts is Assos' A-Lock Engineering. Using a combination of new construction methods and materials, Assos' engineers have managed to create a short where the seat insert remains perfectly positioned. They start with Type.441 textile, a silky smooth fabric which boasts incredible moisture management, anti-odour and long term durability - all-in-all, a perfect cycling fabric. Butterfly EngineeringAn innovative panel design creates an incredibly stable platform for the seat insert. Where their S7 shorts use four panels, the S9s reduce this to just two, lessening bulk, reducing seams and hence increasing comfort. The two panels form a unique 'butterfly' shape, wrapping around the legs snugly to form what Assos have named their ergoBox structure. It is this which keeps the seat insert perfectly positioned, whether you're in the saddle, out of the saddle, sprinting or climbing. rollBar Bib DesignAssos have also completely redesigned the bib straps on the S9. Just like an anti-sway bar on a car, the new rollBar design provides stability. The straps pass over the rear of the shorts and attach directly into the same seam as the seat insert, maintaining the perfect degree of tension as you transfer weight in and out of the saddle. The bib straps themselves are made with highly elastic materials, a single Y-frame piece in the back creating the ideal level of support for the shorts while exerting minimal pressure. Meanwhile, the front of the shorts uses an antibacterial carbon weave, wicking away moisture incredibly quickly for intense comfort. These are bib shorts you'll barely realise are there. S9 RS Equipe Seat PadThe RS Equipe Seat Pad delivers the comfort you need to concentrate on your performance. A super-soft antibacterial microfibre offers a luxurious feel against the skin while kraterCooler holes ensure excellent ventilation, preventing sweat build-up and promoting freshness. A combination of 3D three-layer perforated waffle foam and superAir microShock memory foam core work together to give support to your sit bones and quick adaption to your body position whenever you shift weight or move in and out of the saddle.Features:Materials: 80% Polyamide, 20% ElastaneA-Lock Engineering technologyRollBar Bib strap stabilization30% Seam Reduction reduces weight enhances comfortErgoBox construction stabilizes seat padZeroWaist raw cut waist transitionButterfly pattern wraps lower legs and backUltralight leg grippers free of silicone but maintains perfect holdCarbon Xbib multi-fabric construction for unrivalled comfort and supportType.441 fabric - 40-gauge warp knit, developed specificallyfor compression hold and silky comfort -UPF 50+, moisture-wickingEQUIPE RS Insert - Race-spec elastic interface insert in 3D basalt colourway, with kraterCooler ventilationBuy Assos Clothing from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
