Ergon’s SMC Core Saddles
For those looking for the ultimate in comfort, the Ergon SMC Core saddles ($159.95) are unlike anything we’ve ridden before. Based on the popularity and success of the SMC saddle series comes additional models featuring Ergon’s Core and TwinShell technology. What makes these saddles so unique is the patented CORE 3D® design. As your hips rock with each pedal stroke, the saddle moves side to side, following pelvic movements. This reduces pressure on the sit bones. The sensation is particularly noticeable if you don’t wear padded shorts.
