Ergon SM E-Mountain Core Prime Men Saddle

The Ergon SM E-Mountain Core Prime Men Saddle is bringing enjoyment to every trail for e-mountain bikers. The unique Ergon CORE 3D® saddle technology combines comfort and optimum power transfer to the pedals. Rides with long uphills? Just stay seated. The rear ramp provides stability and support.

Feelings of numbness? Forget it. The male problem zones are relieved. Back problems? No problem. Three seals of approval certify the back-friendly features. This is our Pain-Free Support Formula and guarantee to E-MTB riding enjoyment.

Floating ergonomic saddle core

When pedalling, your weight is continuously shifted from one sit bone to the other – with the highest stress on the pedal-up side, where your body weight is focused and high pressure occurs. This localised pressure is noticeably reduced by the Ergon Core: Through the suspended Core design and the high-end material properties the bike saddle has the ability to adapt to every pelvic motion when pedalling – enormously enhancing comfort.

Ideally supported in steeper terrain

The SM E-Mountain Core Prime Men significantly improves your seated position while climbing. The steeply rising ramp at the rear gives you a stable, effort-saving hold when climbing uphill. We have also designed the saddle nose to be particularly wide and comfortable, as the seat position often shifts forward in extremely steep sections.

Cycling on clouds

BASF’s innovative Infinergy® material sets new standards in suspension and damping on the bike. The elastic saddle core supports the natural pelvic movements with every pedal stroke, absorbs road shocks and is easy on the lower back.

When pressure is released, the Ergon Core, which consists of thousands of foam particles, returns to its original shape in a flash – even under continuous load. Leading manufacturers of performance running shoes also use this E-TPU foam worldwide with great success.

Ergon CORE 3D® vs. standard saddle

The revolutionary CORE 3D® saddle construction with twin shell technology takes comfort to a whole new level. In a conventional saddle, there is only one saddle shell. This single shell carries the load of the rider and must therefore be very rigid. The SM E-Mountain Core Prime, on the other hand, has two shells. A majority of rider weight is supported by the lower stiffer shell.

On the upper flexible shell lies the cushion and sitting surface. In between the two shells is the floating ergonomic core made of Infinergy®, which isolates road shock, dampens vibrations, supports pelvic movements when pedalling and noticeably takes pressure off the sit bones.

Support that follows your pedal stroke

The view below of the SM E-Mountain Core Prime shows the entire saddle surface – the high-performance elastomer damper decouples the two saddle shells from each other. This sandwich construction with elastic core allows the saddle to follow the natural pedalling movements more ergonomically in all three directions. Unevenness of the riding surface and vibrations are efficiently filtered out thanks to Ergon CORE 3D®.

Comfortable and durable

The padding is made of orthopaedic comfort foam. 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 microfibre to prevent abrasions and maintain the durability of the saddle.
