Selle Italia SP-01 Kit Carbonio Superflow Saddle - Men's
With its lightweight but sturdy construction, a sleek shape, and a futuristic independent flex design, the SP-01 Kit Carbonio Superflow Saddle is a result of ongoing product research into more effective saddle designs by Selle Italia, one of the industry leaders in high-performance cycling saddles. By introducing an innovative rear frame that allows independent flex of the left and right sides of the saddle, the SP-01 Kit Carbonio Superflow more effectively supports the alternating motions of your hips while pedaling, improving overall comfort without compromising stability when it's time to put power down to the pedals. And by pairing this technology with a large center cutout that relieves perineal pressure, the saddle further improves comfort by helping reduce the numbness or pain that can result from prolonged pressure to this soft tissue region over the course of a longer ride.
The SP-01 series of saddles are constructed from a variety of different materials at different price points, and the SP-01 Kit Carbonio Superflow sits near the top of the lineup right below the featherweight Tekno version. Though it weighs roughly 25g more than the top-of-the-line SP-01 Tekno, it's rated for both on and off-road use whereas the Tekno is recommended for road use only and has a rider weight limit. By using CarboKeramic rails and a shell comprised of a carbon fiber/nylon blend, Selle Italia is still able to achieve an impressive weight, but without any durability concerns or a rider weight limit. The SP-01 Kit Carbonio Superflow comes in two sizes to fit most rider's sit bone widths, and uses Selle Italia's signature Fibra-Tek microfiber cover that resists tearing and abrasion for outstanding longevity.

WTB Pure Pro Saddle - Men's
The Pure Pro Saddle is a little bit plusher than most of WTB's other offerings, but it doesn't have a significant weight penalty as a result of the extra cushioning. With its Cro-Moly steel rails, the Pro weighs 263g, which isn't featherlight but won't slow you down on cross-country or all-mountain rides. It's dropped nose and rising whale-tail back prevent short hang-ups and give you a platform to push against when you're climbing, and the Flex-Tuned shell blends suppleness and responsiveness so you have great feel without getting hammered to smithereens on rough trails. WTB also outfitted the Pure Pro with its DNA padding, which conforms to your anatomy almost like memory foam to relieve pressure points and keep you feeling fresh for the long haul.
Ergon SR3 Pro Carbon Saddle - Men's
You know the killer grips and the awesome mountain bike saddles, but Ergon's branching out into the road market with the SR3 Pro Carbon Saddle, which delivers the comfort that the company is known for in a sleek, light, and powerful package that's made for the tarmac. As the name suggests, Ergon places comfort above all else, so it used extensive analysis to map out the carbon-fiber shell, resulting in "hollows" that provide a comfortable pocket for your sit bones.
The shell is covered with thin progressive dampening layers to help reduce road vibration, and finished with a nose-mounted micro damper that takes smoothness to the next level. Even better, the shell is designed to float independently of the rails, which makes it one of the most forgiving saddles on the market. The carbon fiber fails are light and strong, obviously, but they also offer 30mm of fore-aft adjustment to help you nail the fit, and the synthetic leather is easy to clean and finished with a silicone coating on the sides, which lets your legs slide easily over the cover without getting irritated.

Selle Italia SP-01 Titanium Superflow Saddle - Men's
Boasting a sleek shape, lightweight construction, and a unique adaptive rear frame design, Selle Italia's SP-01 Titanium Superflow Saddle allows independent flexing of the left and right sides of the saddle. The idea behind this design is that the "suspension link movement" effectively supports the alternating movement of your hips while pedaling, improving comfort without compromising stability when it's time to put the power down. Selle Italia pairs this technology with a large center cutout that relieves perineal pressure, helping to mitigate numbness or pain during those longer days on the bike.
As the name implies, the SP-01 Titanium Superflow Saddle uses extremely light titanium rails that help this saddle achieve a sub-200g weight without sacrificing the toughness that Selle Italia saddles are known for. The carbon and nylon blend that comprises the shell also keeps the weight down while offering a supportive platform for more intense pedaling efforts. The saddle is available in two sizes to provide an option for most rider's sit bone widths, and uses a sturdy Fibra-Tek microfiber cover that resists tearing and abrasion for stellar long-term durability.

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.

Have very specific and exclusive. Features on all of our selves first of all there's the complete open cutout from the back up to the nose you can.

Ergon SM3 Pro Carbon Saddle - Men's
Typically, mountain bike saddles are either designed for gravity abuse or they're road saddles with an added abrasion resistance. So, when Ergon decided to enter the off-road saddle market, it focused on the demands of endurance racers. Ergon knew that this sub-genre of mountain biking necessitates both schools of saddle design, and accordingly, would lead to the most well-rounded saddle. The result of this research is Ergon's SM3 line of saddles, and its top offering, the SM3 Pro Carbon Saddle. Ergon knew if it could perfect a saddle for those who spend the most time on one, it'd have mass market appeal. So, a defining feature was born -- the SM3 Pro Carbon is made available in three sizes, as proper fit is a significant factor for long-term comfort when miles start stacking.
Ergon's first products were handlebar grips that gained a quick cult following because of their support and ability to reduce fatigue. Using the same benchmark design principle, Ergon designed the SM3 saddles from the ground up. To start with, the ultra-thin carbon fiber shell used an extensive finite element method analysis to map loads and areas of stress. This gave the saddle its distinctive shape, but more importantly, it allowed Ergon to tune the shell construction for optimized deflection.
The 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 SM3's trail smoothing ability, is a nose mounted micro damper.
This damper, located in between the shell and carbon fiber rails, filters out smaller vibrations, and 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. The rails provide 30mm of adjustment for proper fitting on your mountain bike.
The SM3 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 can quickly shift weight fore or aft to enhance body English for optimum traction or line choice.
Ergon is a proud German company, yet instead of manufacturing the saddles itself, Ergon enlisted the help of the saddle perfectionists at Selle Italia. As a result, every SM3 is manufactured in Italy by expert craftsmen. To size yourself for an Ergon SM3 Pro Carbon Saddle, you'll need to measure the distance between your sit bones. Widths between 9-11cm should ride a Small, 11-13cm a medium and 13-15cm should opt for a Large.
Selle SMP Stratos Saddle - Men's
With comfort and reduced pressure in mind, Selle SMP took a look at the traditional saddle and did a good deal of tweaking to land on its SMP4BIKE line, and the Stratos Saddle fits neatly in the middle of the lineup. The Stratos features Selle’s recognizable shape that aims to keep you supportive and free of extra pressure whether you’re hammering out through cobbled classics, or going on a cruise up steep canyons alike.
To achieve these pressure-relieving qualities, the Stratos is crafted with a large open channel in the center to keep your most sensitive anatomy free of pressure points, and a sloped “beak” that offers you a flat base while sitting, and a perch for those crushing climbs. The Stratos is situated between the Glider and Evolution models, and is designed to accommodate cyclists with average-width pelvises by offering an average-width profile, and moderate elastomer padding to take the sting out of rough roads.
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.
Ergon SM3 Pro Saddle - Men's
When you're pushing hour six into an endurance race, 20 millimeters might not seem like a great distance. But, that's the difference between a Small and Large Ergon SM3 Pro Saddle. And when it comes down to determining long-term comfort on the trail, it's a significant factor. That's why Ergon saddles comes in three different sizes.
The German-based Ergon always places its focus on comfort, and accordingly, its first handlebar grips gained a quick cult following because of their support and ability to reduce fatigue. And when those grips took off, instead of sitting on success, Ergon expanded its offerings to include more contact components like hydration packs, gloves, and now, even saddles.
Using the same benchmark design principle, Ergon designed the SM3 saddle from the ground up. To start with, the the ultra-thin shell used an extensive finite element method analysis to map loads and areas of stress. This gives the saddle its distinctive shape, but more importantly, it allowed Ergon to tune the shell construction for optimized deflection.
The shell has progressive dampening layers that are individual to the different saddle widths. Every size option gets its own layer for rider-specific compression. Adding to the SM3's trail taming, is a nose mounted micro damper. This damper, located in between the shell and TiNox rails, filters out smaller vibrations. The rails are hollow to reduce weight and allow 30mm of adjustment. The SM3 also has an easy-to-clean synthetic leather cover -- just wipe it off with a damp rag.
After developing the SM3, Ergon enlisted the help of the saddle perfectionists at Selle Italia for production. So, every SM3 has been made in Italy by expert craftsmen. To size yourself for an Ergon SM3 Pro Saddle, you'll need to measure the distance between your sit bones. Widths between 9-11cm should ride a Small, 11-13cm medium, and 13-15cm should opt for a Large.
The Ergon SM3 Pro Saddle is available in the colors Black and White and in the sizes Small, Medium, and Large.
ISM PS 2.0 Saddle - Men's
The PS 2.0 Saddle is the updated version of the popular ISM “Road” saddle. It features 30-series foam and gel padding for comfortable support, and is ideal for triathlon, time trial, and road bikes. Similar to the other PS series saddles, the PS 2.0 has a slight upward slope at the rear, providing superb hip support when your body is rotated forward in the aero position, or an aggressive road riding position. This is often preferred by athletes that don’t move around on the seat excessively while riding, making it a worthy choice for triathletes and time trialists who ride in the aerobars, or for flat courses in which the athlete likes to ‘settle in’ to one position and go. Like all ISM saddles, the PS 2.0 is nose-less and designed to remove pressure from soft tissue, ensuring maximum blood flow and no numbness, and therefore a more enjoyable ride.
