Saddles from Ergon

Ergonomic seating comfort on every tour

Ergonomics for cyclists: man and bike in perfect harmony

When cycling, the human and the bicycle form a single unit. Different parts of the body are constantly interacting with the bicycle as a system, and even the smallest adjustments can significantly affect comfort, efficiency and health. Therefore, the bicycle as a whole should be individually tailored to the rider for optimal results – every person is unique, and so are their ergonomic needs.

Seat ergonomics: the right saddle is crucial

The saddle bears a large part of the body weight and puts pressure on the sensitive perineal and genital areas. Pressure peaks can lead to pain, numbness or sitting problems. A healthy pressure distribution is crucial to relieve nerves and blood vessels. Factors such as saddle width, sit bone distance and upper body angle play an important role. A relief channel distributes pressure to less sensitive areas and ensures a stable, healthy sitting position.

Gender-specific solutions

• Ergon saddles for women:
  Due to anatomy, a higher pelvic flexibility often leads to increased pressure in the genital area. Ergon's bicycle saddles for women feature wider flanks. Another feature is the relief channel, which is located further forward to reduce pressure and distribute it across the bony structures, thus relieving sensitive areas.
• Ergon saddles for men:
  Less flexibility in the pelvic area and a more upright sitting position put more pressure on the sit bones. Ergon bicycle saddles for men feature a relief channel that is placed further back to reduce pressure in the perineal area while allowing freedom of movement when pedaling.

Dynamic sitting: adjustment in motion

When cycling, the body automatically adjusts to equalize pressure. To shift the center of gravity accordingly, you slide forward on the saddle uphill and backward downhill. Ergonomic solutions like Ergon's support these natural movements and ensure lasting comfort, regardless of the route or type of cycling.

With bicycle saddles from Ergon, cyclists experience ergonomic perfection that takes comfort, health and efficiency to a new level. Whether you are using an Ergon MTB saddle, a saddle for trekking or an E-MTB, you are ready for your next ride!
