The Core material revolution meets mountain bike demands. The award-winning Ergonomic Core made from BASF Infinergy® and TwinShell design delivers the ultimate riding experience of supreme comfort with athletic responsiveness. The floating, 3D dynamic motion and reactive damping supports the rider by absorbing all bumps and shocks before they reach your lower back. It even won the German seal of quality “Campaign for Healthier Backs”. The patented Core design allows the saddle to effortlessly follow pelvic movements, reducing pressure on the sit bones and genital area. Anatomically tailored for men and available in two sizes, the new SMC Core introduces Core comfort to the trails.
Features:
The floating ergonomic saddle core:
- When you pedal, your weight is shifted alternately to the left and right sit bones, placing added stresses to one side and then the other. This pressure is noticeably reduced by the Ergon Core material with its incredible rebound properties. As you pedal, the saddle rebounds to not only the weight shifting of your pelvis, but also vibrations from the surfaces beneath your tires. This creates a floating feeling with each pedal stroke resulting in maximum comfort.
Cycling as if on clouds:
- The innovative material Infinergy® by BASF is a new benchmark in suspension and damping in the field of cycling. The elastic seat core supports the pelvic motion when pedaling, absorbs shock and offers relief for your back. When pressure compresses the saddle’s core, consisting of thousands of foam spheres, it will immediately rebound into its original shape – even after a prolonged period of compression. All over the globe leading running shoe manufacturers are also using this E-TPU-foam with great success.
Ergon TwinShell vs. standard saddle:
- The revolutionary Ergon double-shell technology takes comfort to a whole new level. With the conventional saddle there is only one seat shell on the frame. This standard shell supports all of the rider’s weight and must therefore be very stiff. The Ergon SMC Core Men utilizes two shells. The lower shell, supporting the rider’s weight is very stiff and the upper shell, which is a base of the padding material is very flexible. In between is the floating ergonomic core made of Infinergy®. This design isolates road shock, dampens vibrations, supports pelvic movements while pedaling and noticeably takes pressure off the sit bones.
Support that follows your pedal stroke:
- The view from below on the SMC Core shows how the high-performance elastomer damper decouples the two saddle shells from each other. This sandwich construction with its elastic core allows the saddle to follow the natural movements of the pedal stroke. This provides support in all directions from the vibrations of the riding surface to the rider’s pedal stroke.
Comfortable and durable:
- The padding of the SMC Core 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.
Minimizing Saddle Discomfort:
- When cycling, most of your body weight rests on the small saddle surface. If the weight is not shifted evenly to the bony structures, unnecessary pressures are then distributed to sensitive soft tissue areas. A relief channel helps, but is not the only important factor. For an ergonomic distribution of pressure, the correlations between the sit bone distance and sitting angle must be taken into account. An ergonomic bicycle saddle should have sufficient contact surface, but still allow the thighs to move freely. Furthermore, cycling is not static. Uphill, the rider intuitively slides towards the saddle nose to shift the body’s center of gravity forwards. The opposite occurs when cycling downhill. Ergon takes all these factors into account when developing all of their saddles. Two widths are available in every saddle model to better adapt to all rider’s comfort needs.
Men’s Health:
- The Ergon development team carried out intensive research on the topic of men’s health. They found that the main cause of complaints when cycling is the saddle. Often times, men experience too much pressure on their perineal area leading to pain, discomfort, numbness and the potential for more severe health problems. The SM E-Mountain Pro Men saddle relieves this pressure with a very specific relief channel as well as better surface area distribution under the bony structures. Through MRI, CT analysis as well as many prototypes and test riders, we have ergonomically adjusted the saddle to the specific anatomy and needs of men.
More freedom of movement:
- Compared to women, the male pelvis tends to be less flexible. This means that men sit more upright on the saddle and put more of their weight distribution on their sit bones. Therefore the transition area between the rear of the saddle and the saddle nose can be kept narrow (Y-shape). This gives the legs more space to pedal.
Male and Female pelvic differences:
- In contrast to the female anatomy, the male sit bones are more narrow and where the two sides of the pelvis come together in the front is much higher. This results in more pressure being distributed on the male’s sit bones vs. a broader area of sit bones and pubic bones in women. We have taken this significant difference between male and female anatomy into consideration during saddle development.
The Right Size:
- The shape and size of the saddle must match the sit bone width of the rider to maximize comfort and enjoyment. The pelvic bone has a unique V-shape and the saddle must offer the sit bones a large contact surface with the ability to meet the demand of different sitting positions. Various saddle widths are offered so that the usable seat surface corresponds to the riders unique sit bone distance.

Very Comfortable, a bit wide
Scott Kottman - 02/03/2023
Very Comfortable. It feels a little firm at first, but after about the 3rd ride it's great! I've gone on a few 3-5 hour rides and it was never my bottom that I was complaining about at the end. I also don't wear a bib/chamois. The only issue I have is that these are wider than a lot of the saddles out there. I think I would be happier with the small/medium which is closer to the size of the md/lg SM Enduro saddle that Ergon makes. I seem to chafe sometimes with this one. I noticed it more when I switched the saddle from my trail bike to my gravel bike. Also, for trail riding, the width may make it harder to get behind the saddle on descents. Excellent saddle though. I might order the sm/md if I can't find a saddle I like more.

Kevin C - 08/12/2022
Ive had this sadle for over a year and love it. Did a 500 mile / 800 km bikepacking trip last month and it was great. A good alternative to the leather saddles if it fits you!
Maliable
Chris - 13/06/2022
This is a very comfy saddle. It is very tall though, the padding being quite thick. This may cause you to use slightly less drop, though I found it easy to adjust too. Long days are much comfier now.
Super comfortable
ALBERTO - 31/05/2022
A very comfortable saddle. Its comfort is noticeable from minute one. For my taste it is a bit long, I took off 2cm in length but it is personal taste. Perfect for MTB and that your back does not suffer, even without the shorts you are comfortable.
Pain is over!
Tiago Conceição - 25/05/2022
After starting using this saddle, my butt pain is over, i can now ride 2h without protection before notice the fatigue. Very good and comfortable but also require some habituation time.

Ergon SMC Core Saddle
Jeff - 19/02/2022
I'm very satisfied with my new saddle. I installed it on my hybrid bike and so far is very comfortable. After going through different saddle brand, this seem to have solve my issues after a long ride . Time will tell. If all goes well. I'll buy a second one.
Extremely Comfortable!
Colin Gilliam - 17/02/2022
I seem to always get along with Ergon stuff, but the new Core padding tech is so comfortable! Maybe a little bulky/heavy for gravel racing or quick days (As expected since it's primarily a mtn bike saddle), but in early testing I think the SMC Core may be my go-to saddle for longer bikepacking trips this summer.
As expected from Ergon
Fred - 11/12/2021
I love Ergon stuff. I have their grips which has solved my wrist problems and I also have the regular SMC saddle on my other bike which has alleviated a lot of pain in my sensitive buttocks. They were out of stock on the gel version so I stepped up to this SMC CORE. I have yet to go for a ride as it only arrived yesterday and it’s been raining. However I have already installed it and sat on it statically; immediately it is already much better than my stock saddle. Has a much wider bigger seating surface to accommodate my sizeable arse. It seems to only weigh a little more than my stock thin saddle but I didn’t have my scale in me. I’m sure it won’t disappoint once I get out.
