Ergon Men’s Sm Pro Bicycle Saddle
The Ergon SM Pro Men’s Saddle
The perfect all-round MTB saddle, with which a smile on the face is always guaranteed even in the toughest use. The specific ergonomic shape for men, the orthopedic comfort foam with OrthoCell inlays and a flatter overall profile give more freedom of movement with high all-day comfort.
Features and specifications:
German innovation: Developed in Koblenz, Germany, by designers, ergonomics experts and engineers who like you have a passion for cycling…
Pressure-free comfort: The specific design and flatter overall profile for men reduce pressure peaks and hot spots by distributing the rider’s weight perfectly across the seat bones.
Special relief channel for men: The central comfort relief channel has been specially designed for men to eliminate pressure, numbness and pain in the perineal and genital areas.
Orthocell technology: The innovative OrthoCell insoles are ergonomically positioned in the contact area of the seat bone for greater comfort, better pressure distribution, longer durability and a lower overall weight than gel pads.
Orthopaedic padding: The orthopedic comfort foam provides improved support and optimal pressure distribution.

For the best on men.The Ergon development team has intensively researched on men’s health. The main cause of discomfort when cycling is the saddle. In men, high pressure on the extremely sensitive perineal area leads to numbness. The SM Pro Men relieves the male perineum ideally: With MRI and CT analysis, many prototypes and test riders, we have ergonomically tuned the saddle to the anatomy and needs of the man. | More space for the legs.The male pelvis is less flexible compared to women. That means: Men sit upright on the saddle and make the seat bones more stressed Therefore, the transition area between the saddle and saddle nose can be kept narrow (Y-shape). This gives the legs more freedom to pedal. | Men are different – we got it.In contrast to the female anatomy, the pubic bone blades are significantly steeper to each other and the pubic joint (symphysis) is much higher. We have also taken into account this significant difference between man and woman in saddle development. | No pressure on sensitive areas.The right pressure distribution is important. To protect the sensitive perineal area, the pressure must be shifted to the seat bones and parts of the pubic bone arches – this is exactly how the relief surface of the Ergon men’s saddles works. Due to the upright male pelvis, we have kept the surface flat and evenly for the best possible freedom of movement, for the topper we use the highest quality foams |

Velmia bicycle seat is just as good ergon just lighte
This is the best saddle that I have ever been on, will definitely purchase again!
Nothing negative at this point, needed a quality saddle for my new PNW dropper post.
I have 3 bikes and 3 Ergon saddles. Mountain and Road bikes. All good!!
A bit on the expensive side, but I guess you get what you pay for.
Love the look and quality.
No bicycle seat is truly comfortable, but this one is perfect for a few hours and doesn’t kill you on all day, long rides.
I have a 2021 Scott Spark and the OEM saddle was awful at best. This is very comfortable.
Very comfortable for my wider sit bones. Definitely an improvement over the previous several narrower seats. Looks great on my SC 5010!
Most comfortable saddle ive ever used. Haven’t put any 15+ mile days in on it mtb yet but on a 5-10 mile ride i no longer wear a chamois. The saddle is freeing in more ways than one. It might be a hefty price to pay for a seat… but youll be thanking yourself, on a long climb some day down the line, that you spent that extra $$ so your rides are more enjoyable, your boys can breathe free and you can walk properly and free of stiffness post ride.
I’ve been doing 60k+ MTB rides and this saddle has made the last parts of them really enjoyable. It is not cheap, but it’s a good price to pay for your future.
Attention to detail lets it down a bit compared to other famous manufacturers who sell for half the price, but have the trims elegantly hidden. Time will tell how well it holds in terms of durability, but the blue paint had slight marks from use after the first ride.
Extremely comfortable and low friction when riding. Did a couple back to back 20 mile rides and it was a huge improvement from my old Specialized Phenom saddle.
Pleased to receive this, very hard to get anywhere. Reviews indicate this is the best MTB saddle. Mistakenly thought it was not the pro version, missed the small print identifying the three different versions sent in the same package.
Comfy for long rides and seems to decently compliant and absorbs bumps well. Went with S/M version. It weighed in heavier than expected though :-/
Just took this saddle on its first ride (33 miles on technical terrain in and out of the saddle) and it beat expectations.easily the most comfortable, best fitting seat I’ve ever tried.
Pros: comfortable, proper amount of cushion. Is not too think and you don’t get stuck in it.
Cons: makes a slight creaking noise after first ride, but not a dealbreaker.
Really good for long rides. I ride a lot of xc and with a chamois this has made 10+ mile rides really enjoyable.
This is the fourth mtb seat I have tried, no being comfortable with previous ones and am very pleased with the comfort, weight and quality of this seat! It is firm and provides a comfortable ride for hours on end! I have it on my YT Capra Pro Race enduro bike, I do alot of uphill pedaling and downhill and it is GREAT! Highly recommend, just make sure to use the Ergon web to choose the right size for you!
An excellent mountain bike saddle. I purchased it for better support under my sitbones than my WTB Pure. The Pure is excellent, but a tad too comfortable. Hard to describe, but I’ve realized I’d rather have ergonomic support than squishy comfort. Better for my hips long term.
It took a good month to adjust and horrible saddle soreness, but now it is really good once I found the sweet spot and it broke in. I don’t even wear padded shorts and I go on 20 plus bike rides every day of the week.
You get what you pay for and this saddle is top notch. Be sure to measure your sit bones on the Ergon site to make sure you get the right size.
So comfortable. I was not able to ride past 1.5hrs now i can ride 2.5 hrs with no pai
Increased riding comfort with the SM Pro was felt imediately, I can’t believe I rode my factory saddle 3 years. Also, the improved seat geometry made a noticeable difference in my cornering ability. Overall, the Ergon saddle has changed my riding experience… like night and day.
To the highest points on my ride,I can’t fault this saddle,I can walk away from an all-day ride now.
Just a little hard for me chose something with more cushion – refunded right away, would recommend just wasnt right For me
o more pressure points in given areas. super comfortable will definatly be going on all my bikes. this made riding so much better for me.
So good! I honestly forgot my padded shorts and didn’t realize I was missing them. Felt so good I bought another one.
1st ride, saddle wasn’t even dialed in how I really liked it and it felt great. No more numbness or pain anywhere. Felt great from the first ride. Can’t wait for it to break in and get the fit just right. This is for the SM Pro model.
The best saddle I ever have. I now can ride for very long without any pain and discomfort.
Great looking saddle…but most of all, a lot more comfortable that my previous SDG.
I did contact Ergon customer service and was surprised to hear that this finish is both normal and acceptable.
Amazing saddle, I used to suffer badly after a long ride on the trails, even with top end padded shorts. After a full, brutal day at BikePark Wales, where everything hurts, my backside finally isn’t one of them! To the extent that I didn’t think about it all day.
It’s weird as it doesn’t strike you as comfy when you get on, but you get used to it instantly and there is zero discomfort.
If you have the chance to get your hands on one, do it! As they are currently hard to come by, You won’t regret it!
Ich hab mir den SM Pro von Ergon bestellt und so schnell wie mglich gegen mein Brett getauscht. Und siehe da. Es ist wie wenn man auf einem anderen Bike sitzt. Das Brett hat sich in einen wohlgepolsterten Fernsehfauteuil verwandelt.
Nach einer dreitgigen MTB-Tour kann ich sagen dass es sich 100%ig ausgezahlt hat!
Wo ich jedoch enttuscht bin, ist die Verarbeitung. Nach grade mal vier Touren ist an den Seiten die rote Farbe praktisch abgeschliffen. Und nein, nicht in Kombi mit einer Jeans, sondern einer Endura bike-short. Das darf bei einem Sattel von ber 100,- nach so kurzer Zeit einfach nicht passieren.
Von daher kann ich den Sattel in der Funktion auf jeden Fall empfehlen. Er htte auch 6 von 5 Sternen bekommen, aber nur in schwarz. So sind es blo vier Sterne.
LIKE: Quality of build (early days, will report back if anything fails on this product), Comfort (larger ‘sit bone’ area – I ordered large size). Fixing point, supplied for saddle bag attachments (built into seat design, very good). Length (adequate for me), Weight; ok. Seat rails; long enough for your required seat position (long enough to allow adequate reach adjustment between seat and handle bars)
DISLIKE: Price (expensive but, it’s your ass)!
Good price for the saddle. I’ve fitted it but haven’t had chance to try it on a decent ride yet.
Believe the hype. This is simply an amazing saddle. For the first time in a long time, I actually forgot about the saddle during my ride, it is that comfortable. No aches or pains, no constant shifting to try and find the best position. It just bloody works and you can get on with riding the bike. Very pleased and happy to say the best saddle I have ever used. Buy one, it does not disappoint.
Da ich bislang von Ergon nie enttuscht wurde, war ich auch hier voller Erwartungen. Ich fahre sehr viel und sehr oft mit dem MTB auf Trails, Touren und Endurostrecken sowie Downhill-/Bikeparks. Oft mit Taubheitsgefhl nach lngerem sitzen. Wie bei ERGON beschrieben: Knochenabstand messen und bestellen. Ich lag mit 11-12cm genau zwischen M und der nchstgreren Variante, habe mich aufgrund der schmaleren Optik fr den kleineren entschieden. Ein Vergleich zeigte jedoch, dass die grere Variante doch bequemer ist, Rckgabe & Erstattung liefen problemlos. Der Sattel kommt mit einem Befestigungsclip fr Topeak-Zubehr unter dem Sattel (nette Beigabe), verstndlicher Anleitung zur Ausrichtug etc (weiteres auf der ERGON-Website zu finden!)
und wirkt sehr wertig. Mit unter 250g braucht er sich fr die gebotene Qualitt und Bequemlichkeit absolut nicht verstecken. Der Preis ist hoch, jedoch in seiner Klasse gerechtfertigt. Montage wie gewohnt relativ einfach.
Er entlastet sehr stark den Dammbereich und hat somit meinen Beschwerden entgegengewirkt. Anfangs fhlt es sich etwas ungewohnt an aber gut.
Ich bin generell top zufrieden und fahre den Sattel mittlerweile seit einem guten Monat ohne grere Beschwerden.
Der Sattel verusacht weder Gerusche, noch hat er Spiel.
Bislang fr mich eines der besten Upgrades am Bike.
Hatte davor noch standart Sattel montiert (auch recht bequem aber eben nur auf langer Strecke mit Radlerhose).
Der neue “Ergon Herren SM Pro” in schwarz ist selbst mit Jeans “deutlich bequemer als mein bisheriger.
Bin begeistert!
