Selle SMP Lite 209 Saddle - Men's
Built to relieve the pressure that many race saddles place on the pudendal nerve and surrounding soft tissue, the Selle SMP Lite 209's pronounced central channel eliminates numbness to reduce fatigue. The unique beak shape provides a flat base while sitting, but reduces pressure on the genital area. It's designed for pants ranging in size from medium to extra-large, the rear of the saddle has been raised to provide an optimized position during hard pedaling. The Lite 209 is made with a nylon/carbon composite shell for efficient power transfer and an engineered flex for comfort. The stainless steel rails also provide mild shock and vibration absorption. Cushioning over harsh terrain, the saddle's foam elastomer padding is wrapped in supple leather or microfiber (depending on your choice) to deliver all-day comfort.

Ergon SR3 Pro Saddle - Men's
Like the range-topping road saddle from Ergon, the SR3 Pro Saddle shares the attention-to-detail expected from this German company. This means that you'll find the same respected shape, in three separate widths, as the Pro Carbon in order to ensure the long-ride support that's only achievable through an individual, personalized fit.
What's different, conversely, is hollow TiNox rails that are used in place of carbon in the Pro Carbon saddle. And, while this may add a little weight to the SR3 Pro, it still filters out smaller vibrations to help retain Ergon's overall goal of an excellent ride quality. The main culprit for those traits, however, is the ultra-thin carbon fiber shell.
At a quick glance, it's pretty obvious that the SR3 has a distinctive shape. And that's not the result of an industrial designer's assumption of what looks good. It's actually the result of extensive finite element method analysis that maps loads and areas of stress. This allowed Ergon to tune the shell construction for optimized deflection. The carbon shell is actually 3D, and it features "hollows" that provide controlled flex at the sit bones. Covering the shell are progressive dampening layers that are individual to the different saddle widths. Every size option gets its own layering for rider-specific compression. Adding to the SR3's chatter-smoothing ability, is a nose mounted micro damper.
This damper, located in between the shell and TiNox rails, filters out smaller vibrations, and it works in conjunction with the isolated rear mounting to allow the shell to float independent of the rails. The result is one of the most forgiving saddles on the market. Additionally, the rails provide 30mm of adjustment for proper fitting.
The SR3 also has an easy-to-clean synthetic leather cover — just wipe it off with a damp rag. But more important than saddle hygiene is its silicone side coating. This reduces chafing, always a good thing, and it also ensures that riders are able to effortlessly shift weight fore and aft to enhance power and comfort.
Ergon is a German company, yet instead of manufacturing the saddles itself, Ergon enlisted the help of the saddle perfectionists at Selle Italia. As a result, every SR3 is manufactured in Italy by expert craftsmen. To size yourself for an Ergon SR3 Pro Saddle, you'll need to measure the distance between your sit bones. The Small width fits sit bones 9 to 11cm apart, the Medium 11 to 13, and Large 13 to 15. This allows you to ensure proper support for not only long term comfort, but efficient and unrestricted pedaling.
The Ergon SR3 Pro Saddle is available in the colors Black and White and in the sizes Small, Medium, and Large.
Brooks England B17 Standard Saddle - Men's
Urban cycling (like cycling in general, to be fair) is all about blending form with function, and nobody does that better than Brooks England. Its B17 Standard Men's Saddle is the epitome of this design philosophy, and Brooks has been making it for over 100 years, so it's not surprising that the company has the B17 pretty much dialed. The full-grain leather cover helps keep the saddle from overheating on warm days, and is designed to conform slowly to your anatomy over long periods of riding, so you'll end up with a nearly custom fit after a few months. The B17's steel rails are strong and absorb road vibrations, and the saddle's wide tail and abrupt taper help provide a solid pedaling platform while eliminating rubbing and discomfort.
Selle Italia Novus Boost Gravel Heritage Superflow L Saddle - Men's
If you've joined the legions of other cyclists that have discovered the joys of exploring those lesser traveled gravel roads on your drop bar bike and are painstakingly seeking out every component to outfit your ride that's specific to the job, we have the saddle for you. The Novus Boost Gravel Heritage Superflow L Saddle from Selle Italia is specifically designed for tackling those multi-hour grinders in total comfort. It benefits from a compact shape and rounded profile for comfortable positions over those multi-surfaces and you'll achieve an efficient position over those long climbs, steady stretches of flats, and fast plunges down washboard-riddled descents. Its refined profile works in conjunction with its variable density padding and light silicone gel under its durable and handsome brown heritage Fibra-Tek microfiber cover, for all-day comfort over epic terrain and distances. This version, with its special cover, will look excellent on any ride and especially so on a titanium or skinny tube steel bike.
Selle Italia's Superflow saddles feature a Gel Flow anatomic cut-out that significantly reduces pressure on the perineum and other soft tissue and the Novus Gravel is no exception. This particular saddle is categorized under its L3 idmatch sizing meaning it has a cutout and a slightly wider shell for riders with broader sit bones and a bike fit that requires a high degree of pelvic rotation. You can expect a great deal of comfort from this saddle and know that, despite your suffering on those all-road exploits, your backside won't be an area of concern. Other thoughtful details include the large reflective treatment on the rear that offers impressive visibility in low-light conditions if we forget to grab a taillight and we're out riding for longer than expected. Finally, affixing the saddle to your seatpost is Selle Italia's TI316 rails utilizing titanium tubing for impressive durability over rougher roads and gravel while dropping some grams and helping to take the sting out of those repeated washboard jolts.

Selle SMP Nymber Carbon Saddle - Men's
All of the saddles in the Selle SMP range feature a striking shape that's responsible for the comfort that many cyclists aren't able to find in other saddles. These innovative shapes and pressure-relieving profiles leave many cyclists with that "eureka" moment and they wish they had found the saddle sooner. If you are seeking out a Selle SMP saddle, the two things you'll want to consider are the amount of padding the saddle provides, and choose your preference, and the pant size you wear and how that corresponds to the saddles Selle SMP recommends. The saddle we have here, the Men's Nymber Carbon Saddle, has a minimal amount of padding which conspires with the carbon rails to keep the weight low and is recommended for cyclists with a waist between 32-37-inches.
The Nymber is recommended for road, cross-country, and tri applications. At its nose is the signature "beak" shape providing a flat foundation while seated, while reducing pressure on soft tissues. SMP's central channel is also incorporated, for further pressure reduction on the pudendal nerve and surrounding sensitive areas. The back of the saddle features a pronounced ramp that provides the ideal platform for bracing against on the climbs and helps better divide body weight over the ischial tuberosity on either side of the channel. Furthermore, the shape reduces overall pressure on the coccyx, increasing long-range comfort, especially over rougher roads.
The saddle is covered in soft leather on the black version and features a durable Lorica microfiber on the colored versions. Underneath the covering is a thin, elastomer foam for lasting comfort on those endless chip seal rural roads, while the carbon reinforced composite shell floats on unidirectional carbon fiber rails, dropping some serious grams and further aiding in the reduction of high-frequency vibrations.
The Selle SMP Nymber comes in at 267mm long and 139mm wide and in the colors Black, Yellow Fluo, and White. It is handmade in Italy and has a claimed weight of 230 grams.
Selle SMP Lite 209 Carbon Rail Saddle - Men's
The Lite 209 Carbon Rail Saddle, like all of Selle SMP's saddles, goes about adding comfort to your ride by addressing excessive pressure at the perineum region, as it uses the Italian brand's innovative shaping to keep you comfortable, supported, and pressure-free while racing, training, or simply riding.
The Lite 209 Carbon is best suited for cyclists with average-width pelvises who's pant waist size is in the 32 to 37-inch range and those that favor a significant amount of padding. At the nose, there's the characteristic "beak" shape designed to provide a flat base while sitting, without excessive pressure on soft tissue. SMP's pronounced central channel is also incorporated, which further reduces pressure on the pudendal nerve and surrounding soft tissue. The back of the saddle is raised for an enhanced seated pedaling position, where body weight is divided between the rear and lower part of the ischial tuberosity, or sit bone region. This shape also helps reduce overall pressure on the tailbone while riding over rough surfaces.
The saddle's foam elastomer padding gets wrapped in soft, hard-wearing leather and covers a nylon/carbon composite shell that rides on lightweight and strong carbon fiber rails, ensuring a secure perch that'll hold up to road, tri, and mountain applications.
The Selle SMP Lite 209 Carbon is available in one size, 273 x 139mm, comes in the color Black, is handmade in Italy, and has a claimed weight of 280 grams.
Selle Italia XL-R Superflow S - Men's
Selle Italia's XL-R Superflow S saddle is specifically designed for off-road riding, and is the result of extensive product research in collaboration with athletes to create a saddle that is both supportive and lightweight. The X-LR Superflow S shape is distinguished by its forward-slanting nose for uphill comfort, paired with a large center cutout designed to reduce pressure in the perineal area for long distance riding. At 131mm wide, this is the narrower option of the two X-LR Superflow offerings.
The Ti 316 rails are made of a blend of titanium and stainless steel, allowing some shock-absorption over rough terrain while increasing durability and reducing weight compared to traditional rails. The cushy double-density padding further mutes trail chatter, employing a softer tip for climbing comfort paired with higher density padding under the sit bones for more support during fast-paced pedaling. The Fibra-Tek cover ensures durability for years to come while helping keep the weight down, and comes with reinforced edges to protect the side of the saddle against impacts.

Brooks England B17 Standard Aged Saddle - Men's
Get used to inquiries about suffering when you bolt a Brooks B17 Standard Aged Saddle to your two-wheeled partner—at least from those who don't appreciate timeless cycling pedigree. To those not in the know, the B17 may resemble a fin-de-siècle torture device; however, discerning Brooks fans know that this supple, handmade leather saddle conforms to the body for bespoke comfort that even the latest wonder saddle can only hope to match.
Fi'zi:k Arione 00 Versus Evo Saddle - Men's
The Arione 00 Versus Evo Saddle from Fi'zi:k is the firm's top-tier saddle offering riders who match it's Snake Spine Concept with a pressure relieving channel. Its full carbon construction drops weight and delivers stiffness while still offering all-day comfort. Thanks to the Versus Evo full channel, Fi'zi:k is able to focus on pressure relief at soft tissue areas while the high modulus full carbon shell is tuned for maximum power transfer.
Its intimate relationship with the pros led the firm to the realization that there was a critical link between saddle shapes and profiles, spine flexibility and pelvic rotation, and comfort. Using its Spine Concept Evo fitting system, the Arione is a flat profile saddle designed for Snakes, meaning riders with a high degree of body flexibility and no pelvic rotation while pedaling.
Its Mobius carbon rail is a single, proprietary closed-loop design providing balanced weight distribution that further contributes to its stiffness and eliminates any pressure hotspots on the ischial bones. The cover is applied over the padding with a vacuum process that enables a more progressive cushioning, while the surface texture provides more grip so you stay put while pushing a big gear.
Ergon SR Pro Carbon Saddle - Men's
The SR Men's Road series is Ergon's new line of road bike saddles, designed specifically to accommodate the sensitive perineum area that is often a source of discomfort for male riders. Built with a flat contour, comfortable padding, and a deep relief channel, SR Men's saddles complement the male anatomy in a low, forward-tilted riding position that's typical for road cycling. This version is the SR Pro Carbon Saddle, representing the flagship offering in the SR lineup. It features lightweight carbon fiber rails and a carbon composite body that save about 45g of weight compared to the next model down, making it equally as suitable for competitive racing as it is for rigorous training pursuits.
Due to their specific pelvic anatomy, men generally sit more upright on the saddle. This creates a higher pressure in the perineum area, which can lead to discomfort, numbness, and in some cases considerable pain. Ergon addresses this issue by incorporating a deep relief channel with a cut-out, helping to focus the pressure back onto the sit bones and part of the pubic blades. And to ensure comfort for these bony structures, Ergon incorporates Orthopedic AirCell Foam with OrthoCell Padded Inlays for the best possible pressure distribution in these areas.
Blackburn Ligera Saddle
Whether you ride or race, you probably strive to build your rigs with the lightest components available. But light doesn't always mean comfortable. The Blackburn Ligera Saddle gives you a narrow, race-ready profile with a shape and padding that will make all those long rides super comfortable.
The Ligera is designed with a narrow 135mm-wide paddle area. And while it won't be comfortable for every rider, those with smaller frames or who enjoy maximum room for leg movement often prefer the narrow width. At 275mm long, it provides ample room to move fore and aft to situate yourself for maximum power transfer. The saddle features foam padding that is comfortable without being too squishy. A cutout in the center helps to additionally relieve pressure to sensitive areas such as the perineal zone. It also uses the design from the Ciento, the Flexure3 base, which helps to minimize the vibration from rough roads.
The Ligera is built upon titanium rails that also absorb shock while keeping the saddle a lighter 295 grams. A seamless cover ensures that you won't feel irritation from rubbing, and it also helps to save your expensive cycling bibs from undue friction and pilling.
Blackburn's Ligera Saddle is available in one size and in the colors Black and Silver.
Selle Italia Novus SuperFlow L Saddle - Men's
Selle Italia's reputation for durability, comfort, and style has long stood nearly unparalleled by any other saddle manufacturer in the industry. The Novus SuperFlow L Saddle falls right in line with this tradition, boasting impeccable comfort and timeless style to shepherd you through any cycling adventure. Say goodbye to numb nethers and hello to many miles of comfortable pedaling.
The SuperFlow L gets its name from the noticeable cutout down the center of the saddle that lets cooling air flow through and helps relieve pressure on your perineal artery and surrounding sensitive tissues. In comparison to its cousin, the Flow, the SuperFlow L's cutout is longer and wider to amplify its benefits. This cutout also increases comfort by shifting the contact points to your sit bones, which are much better equipped to handle the weight without discomfort.
Selle Italia adds just a bit more padding to the Novus SuperFlow L Saddle than it does for the top-of-the-line SLR saddles, allowing it to maintain comfort across a wide range of cycling endeavors. Whether you're tackling trails, climbing a pristine mountain pass on tarmac, or wrestling gravel and mud on a cyclocross bike, this saddle can handle it all and keep you comfy throughout.
The Selle Italia Novus SuperFlow L Saddle is available in a long, generously wide profile to provide a range of positioning options to riders of all levels and disciplines. Riders with narrower sit bones may prefer the Novus SuperFlow S with its narrower, 137mm stance.

Selle Italia XL-R Superflow L - Men's
The XL-R Superflow L saddle is part of Selle Italia's off-road lineup featuring lightweight yet sturdy construction and a shape optimized for racking up miles and miles of singletrack with comfortable support. It has a forward-slanting nose for comfort while climbing, paired with a large center cutout designed to reduce pressure and improve bloodflow in the perinal area for long days in the saddle. At 145mm wide, this is the wider option of the two X-LR Superflow offerings.
With rails constructed from a blend of titanium and stainless steel, the XL-R Superflow L provides some shock absorption on rough trails while managing to improve durability and shed some weight compared to traditional saddle rails. The cushy double-density padding further mutes trail chatter and has a softer tip for uphill comfort, with higher density padding under the sit bones for more support when you're mashing on the pedals. The Fibra-Tek cover ensures longevity for years to come while helping keep the weight down, and comes with reinforced edges to protect the side of the saddle against impacts.
