Ergon SR Allroad Core Comp Men

The Ergon SR Ergon SR Allroad Core Comp Men Saddle is a shock dampening super saddle designed for any ride, anywhere. Whether you ride on the bitumen, the track or over gravel, this comfortable saddle will work for you.

The innovative saddle design of the SR Allroad Core offers a completely new riding experience: road shock and vibrations are fully damped, numbness in the perineal area is alleviated, and seat pressure is significantly reduced. Allowing you to be fully in sync with your bike, whatever your chosen path.

This is a men’s specific saddle from Ergon, meaning that it is narrower & has a longer ‘pressure relief channel’ than saddles designed for women. However this does not mean that it only suits women, as saddle science cannot account for all the differences in human anatomy!

Ergon is all about pain free cycling – which we at Abbotsford Cycles appreciate. Ergon saddles – like their grips – are comfortable, high quality & hard-wearing. Unlike other saddles which may wear through from riding with your jeans on, Ergon saddles are made of high quality material.

MATERIAL-INNOVATIVE INFINERGY–A smooth ride

BASF’s Infinergy material also sets new standards in shock and vibration damping on road bikes. Once pressure on the saddle subsides, the Ergon CORE HD®, which consists of thousands of foam particles, returns to its original shape in a flash – even under continuous load! Leading manufacturers of running shoes also use this E-TPU foam worldwide with great success.

ORTHOPEDIC AIRCELL-FOAM–Comfortable and durable

The padding of the Ergon SR Allroad Core Comp Men is made of orthopaedic AirCell foam. It is especially ergonomic for road cycling but remains extremely durable. The pressure of the bony structures is distributed much better by increasing the rebound force which aids in dissipating vibrations.

Minimizing saddle discomfort

When cycling, most of your body weight rests on the small saddle surface. If the weight is not shifted evenly to the bony structures, unnecessary pressures are then distributed to sensitive soft tissue areas. A relief channel helps, but is not the only important factor.

For an ergonomic distribution of pressure, the correlations between the sit bone distance and sitting angle must be taken into account. An ergonomic bicycle saddle should have sufficient contact surface, but still allow the thighs to move freely. Furthermore, cycling is not static. Uphill, the rider intuitively slides towards the saddle nose to shift the body’s center of gravity forwards. The opposite occurs when cycling downhill.

Ergon takes these factors into account when developing all of their saddles. There are specific models for specific disciplines, and accommodate for both recreational and professional riders. Two widths are available in every saddle model to further reach every rider’s comfort needs.

The right size

The shape and size of the saddle must match the sit bone width of the rider to maximize comfort and enjoyment. The pelvic bone has a unique V-shaped 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 riders unique sit bone distance. The more forward and aggressive the rider sits, the further forward the sit bones contact the saddle.
