The SMS Comp Men is the perfect mountain bike saddle for trail, all-mountain and bikepacking riders who want ergonomic comfort, enhanced mobility and high performance. The SMS comp delivers maximum relief for more upright seated positions common with modern MTB-geometries.

A deep ergonomic relief channel, with padding tuned especially for mountain biking, effectively reduces pain and numbness in sensitive areas. This means you’ll be sitting in comfort no matter where or how hard you ride. The compact saddle shape allows maximum rider mobility and control while the super-light TiNox SL rails guarantee the best performance.

Targeted relief specifically for men

Intensive research lead Ergon’s development team to identify the saddle as the main cause of cycling discomfort for men. Contrary to what many cyclists think, the genitals themselves rarely experience discomfort as they can move to avoid the seated pressure. Rather, it’s high pressure on the extremely sensitive perineal area that can lead to numbness. The SMS Comp Men offers ideal relief for the male perineum. Using endless prototypes and thousands of test kilometers, Ergon has tailored the saddle specifically to the anatomy and needs of male mountain bikers.

More freedom for the legs

Men have a less flexible pelvis than women and a reason why male cyclists generally sit more upright on the saddle, placing more pressure on the sit bones. Because of this, a man's saddle can be narrower in the transition area between the rear of the saddle and the saddle nose (Y-shape), which gives the legs more freedom and space when pedaling.

Ergon knows - men are different

Compared to the female anatomy, the pubic bones of men are much steeper. The pubic symphysis is also significantly higher. These anatomical differences were taken into particular consideration during the development of the SMS Comp Men, which makes its gender specific relief so effective.

Correct pressure distribution provides effective relief

To protect the sensitive perineal area, pressure must be shifted precisely to the sit bones and parts of the pubic arch. The SMS Comp Men achieves this with a flat and even relief surface that is perfectly adapted to the more upright male pelvis and offers the highest possible freedom of movement. The padding cushions and relieves pressure using the highest quality orthopedic foams.

The right size for the highest comfort

The V-shaped pelvic bones always need a sufficiently large contact surface. The shape and size of the saddle surface must match the rider's sit bone distance so the ergonomic features of the saddle work properly. The two available saddle widths are designed so that the contact surface corresponds to the sit bone distance. The more forward a rider sits, the further forward the sit bones will contact the saddle.
