Product description

Ergon SFC3 Saddle Evo Gel black (black)

The SFC3 Evo gel is the most exclusive version of the SFC3 series. In addition to gel pads, orthopedic comfort foam, anatomical relief channel and large seating platform, this model also has friction-reducing side flanks. Perfect for maximum comfort on fitness bikes, e-bikes or touring bikes even without padding cycling shorts.

Comfortable and durable
The padding of the SFC3 is made of orthopedic comfort foam, which Ergon has designed for fitness bikes, e-bikes and touring bikes. The foam is supportive, soft, but does not collapse. In addition to the foam, specific gel pad inlays offer even more comfort under the sitting area. With this saddle, it is not absolutely necessary to wear cycling shorts. The saddle is covered with robust microfiber to prevent abrasions and maintain the durability of the saddle.

Anatomical Gel Pads
When cycling, most of your body weight rests on the small saddle surface. To prevent discomfort in the sitting area, the pressure is distributed as evenly as possible over the sit bones. Gel pads are inlayed in specific ergonomic positions to help alleviate pressures under these bony structures.

Optimized Relief Channel
The large anatomical relief channel in the middle prevents pressure on sensitive soft tissue areas. To prevent discomfort, the shape and position of the channel has been optimized with the help of many test riders and state-of-the-art pressure measurement techniques. In addition, gel pads integrated into the seat help to distribute the weight of the body while seated as well as continual support through the full, natural movements of the body while pedaling.

The correct size 
The shape and size of the seat of a saddle must match the distance between the seat bones of the rider. Since the pelvic bones are V-shaped towards the front, the saddle must be able to provide the seat bones with a sufficiently large contact surface in different sitting positions. The saddle widths are selected so that the usable seat surface corresponds to the distance between the seat bones. The more bent forward a rider sits, the further forward the seat bones touch the saddle.

Less friction more movement
For an extra level of comfort the SFC3 Evo Gel features friction reducing side flanks. This feature reduces the friction of your thighs on the saddle when you pedal.

Too hard for touring
Translated from the Danish To the original
To my opinion too hard for many hours (+4 h) in the saddle for example for touring (+100 km); which it is supposed to be designed for. The design angles are fine for the more upright touring position, and it is possible to apply pressure to both the ischium and the pubic bone, which is also fine; but due to the hardness, just a few degrees of change in the angle moves the pressure from pubic to ischium bone and vice versa. With a thicker gel like the one in for example the Selle Royal Lookin series, it would have been possible for the gel to float a little forward and backward and in this way apply pressure to both bones and a bigger area all the time, which would have been much more pleasant. Besides, it would also have given some shock absorption, which this saddle also lacks. The saddle has a nice relief of the perineal and genital area, which the SR Lookin series unfortunately lacks, but I do not understand what the hard "rails" in the sides of this area are good for. I also do not understand the purpose of the bigger "footprint" of the bottom of the saddle compared to the top, which is also a problem for SR Lookin. Today, I use the saddle with a memory foam saddle cover, which is an acceptable combination, but it is certainly not perfect, so I am still looking for a saddle suitable for my purpose, which is +100 km 1-2 times per week on a combination between a hard-tail mountain bike and a city bike.

Highly recommended for everyone, but also for people with problems
Translated from the Dutch To the original
I am a fit cyclist of 45. MTB, Road bike, city bike, .. you name it. Partly due to a fall, I developed pelvic floor complaints and so I also had problems with bicycles. I really tried a lot of saddles, including much more expensive ones, when the local bike shop advised me to just try these. Although my complaints have not only disappeared through this saddle, I quickly develop complaints with other saddles. But not with this one. I have now put them on all my bikes. Really recommended. And of course not only for people with complaints. I would recommend them to everyone, because you certainly don't want to wait until you get complaints.
