The most fun you’ve ever had in the city or on tour – you can not be more comfortable than with the unique Ergon CORE 3D saddle technology found on the SC Core. Vibrations and shocks? The ergonomic core simply absorbs them. Back problems? Not with this saddle. Three seals of approval attest to the back-friendly effectiveness. Feelings of numbness? Prevented by the relief channel specially developed for men. That’s Pain-Free Support Formula and your feel good guarantee on the bike!

Core 3D

• While you pedal, your weight is shifted back and forth to the left and right sit bones, resulting in pressure and discomfort. Ergon CORE 3D reduces this pressure due to the special and unique material properties of the ergonomic core. The bike saddle is allowed to adapt to the pelvis with every pedal stroke resulting in an enormous gain in comfort. 

Innovative Infinergy

• 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 Ergon ST Core, 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 pedaling and noticeably takes pressure off the sit bones.

Support that follows your pedal stroke

• The view below of the ST 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 pedaling 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 orthopedic 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 microfiber to prevent abrasions and maintain the durability of the saddle.
