Fabric Scoop Pro Team Saddle - Men's

The Scoop Pro Team Saddle from Fabric looks like, well, a saddle. Designed to be lightweight, durable, and comfortable, Fabric offers the Scoop in four varieties: Elite, Race, Pro, and Ultimate. This Scoop Pro Team uses carbon fiber rails and a nylon base to find a fine balance of ride quality, weight, and price. The "Team" moniker refers to the large Fabric graphic on the top of its durable Microfiber cover.

Fabric claims its Scoop Saddle is "designed for everyone," and indeed it will work well on road, gravel, mountain, and cyclocross bikes. The Scoop also gives you plenty of options for fit and feel. You can choose between two different base materials for the Scoop saddle, nylon or carbon fiber, with this Scoop Pro coming with a flexible nylon base that's lightweight and offers a bit more give, so it's a touch more comfortable when the terrain isn't pristine tarmac. The Scoop also offers three different rail materials (carbon, titanium, and cro-mo options) with this Pro model coming with Fabric’s 9mm oval carbon fiber rails helping drop grams and are the stiffest in the lineup.

Scoop saddles also come in three different shapes, which vary in curvature from tip to tail. The three shapes are Flat, Shallow, and Radius. Which saddle you choose depends on if you prefer a more rounded or flatter shape as well as if your riding position is aggressive, neutral, or more upright. All of Fabric’s Scoop saddles feature a softer foam, thanks to its more flexible base, for extra cushioning and this Team version features a waterproof microfiber cover in the color black.

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.

Fabric Scoop Ultimate Saddle - Men's

The Fabric Scoop Ultimate saddle uses top-shelf materials and a simple design to keep things light and comfortable. The Scoop saddle comes in four varieties: Elite, Race, Pro, and Ultimate. The Scoop Ultimate starts with carbon fiber rails and a carbon fiber base.

Fabric says its Scoop Saddle is "designed for everyone," and that’s exactly what it is. Like many of today’s bicycle saddles, the Scoop is designed to work with road, mountain, or cyclocross bikes. Unlike many of today’s saddles, however, the Scoop gives you options for fit, feel, and style. You can choose between two different base materials for the Scoop saddle: nylon or carbon fiber. The Scoop Ultimate comes with a carbon fiber base. This base is both lightweight and comfortable. The Scoop also offers three different rail material options. The Ultimate model comes with Fabric’s 9mm oval carbon fiber rails, which are both the lightest and stiffest in the line.

The Scoop saddle comes in three different shapes, which vary in curvature from tip to tail. The three shapes are Flat, Shallow, and Radius. Which saddle you choose depends on which saddle is most comfortable for your body type. All of Fabric’s Scoop saddles feature dense polyurethane foam for cushioning and a waterproof microfiber shell fabric, which is available in either white or black.

Terry Bicycles Fly Cromoly Saddle - Men's

While Terry Bicyles might be best known for their stellar line of women's products, they also make saddles like the Fly Cromoly Men's Saddle so guys can get in on the company's renowned comfortable ride. Whether you're on the rivet attacking the peloton or wandering through scenic country gravel, this saddle is ready to support you comfortably through any type of ride.

The Fly's most noticeable feature is a large cutout down the middle of the saddle, which lets in cooling air flow and reduces pressure on the perineal artery and surrounding sensitive tissue. This cutout shifts the weighted contact points to your sit bones, which are far more able to support weight comfortably. Say goodbye to numbness and pain, and hello to hours and hours of comfy time in the saddle.

Less apparent, although not less appreciated details include varying density foam that's softer towards the front of the saddle for a boost of cushion and firmer towards the rear of the saddle for increased sit bone support and efficiency through the pedal stroke. The entire top of the saddle is seamless to reduce friction and chafing, and the cover is synthetic for a vegan-friendly ride.

Fi'zi:k Arione R3 Open White Edition Saddle - Men's

We know The Rules dictate white bar tape if you want to look pro and also stipulates that said tape must match the saddle, so if you're looking to complete the look and you're a fan of its shape, please check out the Arione R3 Open White Edition Saddle from Fi'zi:k. Always a perennial favorite in the pro peloton, this version of the Arione receives pressure-relieving cutouts for comfort over long distance training and racing. By combining this anatomic cutout design with a classic shape in two widths, many find the Arione R3 Open Saddle as a friendly perch for 5-hour long base rides and 1-hour criteriums alike.

Even though saddle selection is highly personal, we feel like there is some takeaway from riders who rack up more miles in one season then we will in a few. Thus, the Arione R3 Open Saddle is a performance-oriented road saddle for riders who want a flat saddle profile with a cut-out to avoid pressure and numbness. If you always wanted to upgrade from your stock saddle to a more highly-tuned one, this saddle should be one to consider. It represents Fi'zi:k's sleek design and top-quality craftsmanship at a price that isn't astronomical. The white Microtex cover is easy to care for, as is the k:ium rails and the carbon-reinforced nylon shell drops grams while offering the ideal foundation for dishing out the watts.

Fi'zi:k Antares 00 Versus Evo Saddle - Men's

The Antares 00 Versus Evo Saddle from Fi'zi:k represents the firm's top-tier saddle for riders who match it's Chameleon Spine Concept with a pressure relieving channel. Its full carbon construction drops grams 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 close 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 Antares is a slightly waved profile saddle designed for Chameleons, meaning riders with a medium degree of body flexibility and low 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.

Brooks England Team Pro Classic Saddle - Men's

Syncros Belcarra V 1.0 Saddle - Men's

Ergon SR3 Saddle - Men's

The Ergon SR3 Saddle is designed specifically for road cycling, and features three different widths that allow you to achieve a personalized fit. It uses the same shape and design elements as it's higher-end siblings, the SR3 Pro and the SR3 Pro Carbon, but uses TiNox rails and a fiberglass shell to help keep the cost down for riders that aren't as concerned with saving a few grams of weight.

The SR3's distinctive shape is a 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, and give the saddle its comfort-tuned shape. Covering the shell are progressive damping 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.

Despite Ergon being a German company and doing the design work in-house, they relied on the Italian saddle expertise of Selle Italia to manufacture this particular saddle. As for sizing, 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.

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.

Fi'zi:k Gobi M1 Carbon Braided Rail Saddle - Men's

The Gobi is a mountain-specific saddle for riders who fall in the middle of Fizik’s flexibility range. The shape is relatively flat with pedal-friendly WingFlex technology. The shell has a built-in, controlled flex designed for both comfort and pedal efficiency. Tailflex works the same way, with an engineered flex zone that’s anatomically designed for comfort. The majority of the support is located beneath the sit bones, and a subtle hollowed area relieves pressure on the soft tissue areas.

The Gobi M1 is built with braided carbon fiber rails and then wrapped with another layer of carbon fiber cloth for additional durability. The rails are oval—9mm tall by 7mm wide. This strengthens the rails while assuring compatibility with almost any seatpost. They are also roughly 80 grams lighter than their Kium siblings. Fizik finished the saddle with its tough Microtex cover, then added slick thigh glides that make position adjustments easy.

Selle SMP Composit Carbon Rail Saddle - Men's

While most of the cycling world can recognize Selle SMP saddles at a glance, there's still something that's just so distinctive about their appearance. Selle didn't design the beaked nose, high back, and large central channel for no reason, after all, and while all the above are common features on Selle saddles, each has been tailored to fit specific riding styles, anatomies, and disciplines. The Composit Carbon Rail Saddle, for example, employs the same shape and materials as the SMP4BIKE series, but it ditches the foam to better suit aggressive road riders with narrow to average pelvises.

The lack of foam makes the Composit slightly less cushy, but that's not a racer's primary concern. More important are support and stiffness, which the Composit delivers via unidirectional carbon fiber rails, and an elastomer nylon and carbon composite shell. The beaked nose provides more space where you need it, and the pronounced center channel relieves pressure on other soft tissue areas so you can sit comfortably without loading up on padding. The raised "whale tail" back gives you something to push against, and the ultra-light, yet impressively strong unidirectional carbon fiber rails handle years of hard riding without getting loose or losing strength.

Selle SMP Avant Carbon Saddle - Men's

In its over 70 years of saddle production, Selle SMP has learned two things, make them comfortable and make them durable. One thing that hasn't particularly stood out about the brand was any lightweight offerings, but with its newest carbon railed saddle offerings, the grams have come down. The Men's Avant Carbon Saddle is the latest version boasting carbon rails, dropping some 50-grams over the steel railed version, and it features a wide profile (SMP recommends your pant size be between 34 and 39-inches) and its highest level of elastomer foam padding. So if you enjoy long rides on your road, mountain, or tri bike and can get "behind" the above dimensions and padding level, your quest for the ideal saddle might end here.

The Avant is built with wide sit bones in mind, and with its strategic cutout and signature dropped nose, it helps to relieve pressure on soft tissues and places it on your aptly named sit bones. This is especially helpful when "on the rivet" and sitting further forward on the saddle attempting to turn the pedals over in anger. The cover features soft, genuine leather that’s long wearing and has embroidered branding offering a touch of elegance and some functional grip. The cover and padding are placed above the carbon-reinforced nylon shell, providing a sturdy foundation for years to come and blending lightweight-ness with the ability to soak up road chatter.

Yeah I'm here with dave from smp saddles. And he's gonna tell us about a great new triathlon saddle they're pretty well. Known for the road saddle and once you.

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.

Fi'zi:k Gobi M1 Carbon Braided Rail Saddle - Men's

The Gobi is a mountain-specific saddle for riders who fall in the middle of Fizik’s flexibility range. The shape is relatively flat with pedal-friendly WingFlex technology. The shell has a built-in, controlled flex designed for both comfort and pedal efficiency. Tailflex works the same way, with an engineered flex zone that’s anatomically designed for comfort. The majority of the support is located beneath the sit bones, and a subtle hollowed area relieves pressure on the soft tissue areas.

The Gobi M1 is built with braided carbon fiber rails and then wrapped with another layer of carbon fiber cloth for additional durability. The rails are oval—9mm tall by 7mm wide. This strengthens the rails while assuring compatibility with almost any seatpost. They are also roughly 80 grams lighter than their Kium siblings. Fizik finished the saddle with its tough Microtex cover, then added slick thigh glides that make position adjustments easy.

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.
