Product description
Ergon SR Pro Saddle Women stealth (stealth)
The road saddle designed by women for women
Lightweight, supportive and comfortably padded. The SR Pro Women is designed to alleviate common pressure points in women with OrthoCell inlays to guarantee the best pressure distribution and maximum force production. It’s lightweight with a carbon composite shell, and is the perfect balance of comfort and performance for racing and riding.
Completely new
The Ergon developers have taken a completely new approach to the topic of women’s road bike saddles. After intensive research with X-ray and CT analysis, they have created a new generation of saddles. Countless prototypes have been tested by both professionals and recreational riders. This feedback, in combination with scientific data developed a new generation of comfort for women.
Pelvic Flexibility
Women are significantly more mobile in the pelvis than men. In the typical racing bike riding position, the pelvis often tilts forward more. This often causes considerable pressure in the genital area. The SR Women distributes the sitting pressure in a more rocked forward position with a wide, V-shaped design to match the female pelvis shape and mobility.
The deep pubic symphysis
Anatomically, the pubic symphysis (anterior cartilage connection between the two halves of the pelvis) is about a quarter lower in women than in men. In addition, the angle of the pubic bones to each other is larger. Ergon has also taken this into account in the SM Women in order to prevent discomfort in the sensitive areas.
The sensitive genital area
Due to the characteristics of women’s pelvis, women have suffered discomfort for years on standard saddles. The SR Sport Gel Women alleviates sensitive soft tissue pressure with the tapered relief channel preventing numbness and pain. Alleviating this pressure better distributes the rider’s body weight more towards the sit bones while allowing a more comfortable pressure-free forward rocked position.
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.
Less friction more movement
For an additional benefit of comfort, we have added anti-friction side flanks to the SR Women. This feature reduces the friction of your thighs on the saddle while pedaling resulting in less friction and more freedom of movement.
